TimelineJS is a quality product that provides great flexibility with laying out a timeline design for your website. Data points can be integrated with external resources to keep the timeline fresh without the need to dive into code. Plus it's FREE! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a free tool, you are not going to receive any free support. I imagine there are ways to pay for support from third-party entities. But honestly, the tool a very easy to use and straightforward for setting up data aspects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can create timelines with just providing some google sheets template. It is very simple to create using Google sheets Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is difficult to customise the timeline according to our needs like size or font size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about TimelineJS is the use of the friendly yet highly customizable interface. More, the simplicity of creating good looking timelines just out of a Google sheet is outstanding for novices, while the use of JSON for customizing is perfect for experienced users. Moreover, the large amount of integrated media from different sources improves the storyline making the creation of great-looking timelines very effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I do not like about TimelineJS is that is has limited number of slide in pro version. It is possible that the recommendation of having timelines below twenty slides could be quite limiting to expand any chronological accounts. Furthermore, it can be useless in those stories which share plotlines that are not strict and linear; the tool is best at handling clear chronologies. A second minor disadvantage is that if the Google spreadsheet is not correctly set up there is a chance for mistakes and for the users it can be somewhat complicated to solve this issue.

Quality of the resulting timeline. Open source. Very easy to setup. It allows to specify all the parts of the timeline in a Google Sheet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since its goal is very precise, the core concept is no evolving. Although the source code is well maintained, there are not many news regarding its functionality. It gives options to configure the style.

However maybe it is better this way since KinghtLab (authors of TimelineJS) are proposing other tools (also Open Source) for other or similar goals (for example StoryMap is suitable to create a georeferenced timeline). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how I can easily add contents to my website through a timeline. It is very interactive and at the same time informative. The output is visually rich in features and I love how I can easily edit the layout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easily I can create timelines that fit my needs. The timelines are also useful for chronological narratives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does not work well for stories that need to jump around in the timeline Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
