"Good basic charting for your apps if your data sources aren’t too complex"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Chart.Js?

Easy to set up, fairly compatible even with not so modern frameworks or even PHP "free" environments. Even if you're not the most skilled programmer you can have these charts running in very short time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chart.Js?

If your data source is complex or you need some "customization" above the proposed chart templates, then the path becomes not so easy and rewarding. The aesthetic of some charts is a little bit "dated" (if you're an Excel or PowerBI guy they will look FANTASTIC to your eyes). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
