Plus the cost factor also comes in place. **What problems is amCharts solving and how is that benefiting you?** Helps in the automation of my data visualization work saving a lot of time and effort and also helps in drilling down into the data for better insights and identifying patterns and trends. ### 2. Affordable Interactive Maps for Web Applications **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 27, 2021 **What do you like best about amCharts?** It was the most affordable solution when we implemented it and as long as you're familiar with adjusting code a little bit, this would have been your go to software. **What do you dislike about amCharts?** I wish there was a way to make this into a CMS so you didn't spend so much time coding. **Recommendations to others considering amCharts:** amCharts is very powerful and is capable of doing a lot. When you're able to customize something for your clients you should take up on the opportunity to do so because that yields a better end user experience, even though you might spend more time doing configuration and customization. **What problems is amCharts solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have implemented amCharts a few years ago when a client needed to showcase some countries on a touch screen. So amCharts was installed on an in-house server and lived there, never to be seen by the outside world. It did solve the clients' problem because they were looking for an application that could be customized. ### 3. one of the best chart as I know **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bakur S. | Product Owner, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 30, 2021 **What do you like best about amCharts?** The flexible chart allows me to display data of any size easily.

Amcharts is the quick and dirty way to get things done without the dirty part great for PROD environments. ### 10. FINALLY a map API I understand **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Public Safety | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 17, 2019 **What do you like best about amCharts?** Support online with multiple examples code examples. Easy to integrate with Angular. **What do you dislike about amCharts?** The language on the support sites isn't the most beginner-friendly, so it took me a while to understand (I'm fairly new to web dev). But I did eventually figure it out. **Recommendations to others considering amCharts:** Definitely give it a try! You'll definitely want a working knowledge of Javascript or Typescript (whichever you're using), but you don't need to be an expert (For reference, I'm a student who has never used Javascript outside of Hackathons and class projects, and I was able to implement amCharts relatively easily). Pairs well with AngularJS. **What problems is amCharts solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am creating a website for LGBT+ people in countries where homosexuality is illegal, punishable by imprisonment or even death. One of my first features was to create an interactive map that shows what homosexuality laws are present in a given country. amCharts allowed me to create an interactive map relatively easily (much easier than any alternative I've found). Once I was able to render the map, it was easy to update the data and design of the map. ### 11. Easy and Efficient **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in International Affairs | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2019 **What do you like best about amCharts?** Sample code and documentation makes it easy to implement. Additionally, the methods of implementation are similar across the different types of charts, making it easy to implement **What do you dislike about amCharts?** Really nothing much. Some fields to generate charts are repetitive, but sometimes that's just how it goes. **Recommendations to others considering amCharts:** Definitely utilize the documentation and example projects. Very thorough and helpful. **What problems is amCharts solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creating interactive maps with an easy to use API. Compared with other options I've tried, this was much easier to use while allowing flexibility. ### 12. One of the best Javascript charting frameworks **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Amine L. | Web Application Developer, Internet, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 29, 2016 **What do you like best about amCharts?** AmCharts is outstanding by its simplicity to use. You import it, configure the options, put your data, and *ba dum tss* you have your magical graph out there standing proudly on the web page. I also really like the design choices they made. It is beautiful and pleasing to the users' eyes. Also, the charts available are really nice and diverse. **What do you dislike about amCharts?** One of the things that I didn't like, is that there was no vertical zoom on the line charts, as I needed that functionality in my application. Also, it is not very performant when you throw at it a huge amount of data points, which make it behind some of other charting frameworks out there. **Recommendations to others considering amCharts:** If you need to plot a huge amount of data, amCharts may lack the needed performance to do that. Otherwise, it is a good option to consider. **What problems is amCharts solving and how is that benefiting you?** I needed a charting framework that can show historic data from IoT sensors. AmCharts managed very well the data in the tile-value format and performed well in most cases. Its beautiful design make it less work on the css part which was nice. ### 13. Beautiful **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** André M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 14, 2016 **What do you like best about amCharts?** One word: beautiful. Their charts are simple and beautiful. The animations are there to make everything smooth but at the same time they are not heavy on the visuals. Their maps are the most beautiful I have seen from the libraries available. Really well done! **What do you dislike about amCharts?** Unfortunately the free version leaves a link back to their page. If you need only a couple of charts in a commercial website, the license is a bit pricey (and there are some free libraries that would do the same, although not so beautifully). **Recommendations to others considering amCharts:** If you are using for own projects give it a try, the branding won't bother you. But if you are doing something public and commercial, maybe their branding-free won't fit your budget. **What problems is amCharts solving and how is that benefiting you?** I used amCharts for some real-time data visualization of user behaviour in my application. ## amCharts Discussions - [Is Amchart open-source?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/is-amchart-open-source) - [Is amCharts free for commercial use?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/is-amcharts-free-for-commercial-use) - [What is amCharts 4?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-amcharts-4) - [What is the use of amCharts?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-the-use-of-amcharts) - [View amCharts pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/amcharts/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-15+21%3A23%3A15+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=38753b21-7dab-458b-9f28-0ed48c9f0d8a&secure%5Btoken%5D=891dce59152868fb318dc413e420e8cf6a2a1be84da29a1b11b1abfa66f577de&format=llm_user) ## amCharts Features **Reports** - Reports Interface - Steps to Answer - Graphs and Charts - Score Cards - Dashboards **Reports** - Reports Interface - Share Reports - Steps to Answer **Charts** - Chart Options - Interactive - Time Series - Export **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization **Visualization** - Graphs and Charts - Score Cards - Dashboards - Formats **Documentation** - Documentation **Data Updates** - Historical Snapshots - Real-Time Updating **Mobile** - Mobile **Collaboration** - Sharing - Co-Editing - Devices **Web Frameworks** - Web Frameworks **Self Service ** - Calculated Fields - Data Column Filtering - Data Discovery - Search - Collaboration / Workflow - Automodeling **Advanced Analytics** - Predictive Analytics - Data Visualization - Big Data Services **Building Reports** - Data Transformation - Data Modeling - WYSIWYG Report Design - Integration APIs **Platform** - Mobile User Support - Customization - User, Role, and Access Management - Internationalization - Sandbox / Test Environments - Performance and Reliability - Breadth of Partner Applications **Data Updates** - Historical Snapshots - Real-Time Updating - Email Reports ## Top amCharts Alternatives - [Highcharts](https://www.g2.com/products/highcharts/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (90 reviews) - [Chart.Js](https://www.g2.com/products/chart-js/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (120 reviews) - [FusionCharts](https://www.g2.com/products/fusioncharts/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (34 reviews)
