Visit amCharts Alternatives

amCharts is a JavaScript library for charts, geographic maps, stock charts, and Gantt-style timelines, distinguished by heavy default animation and transition polish compared to most peers. It is dual-licensed: free for non-commercial use under a proprietary license, but any commercial website or app requires a paid per-seat license, tiered by how the software is used — a public site with no logins, a SaaS product requiring user accounts, or an OEM license for redistributing amCharts inside a product sold to others. Licenses are sold as annual subscriptions or one-time perpetual purchases, with support hours bundled according to tier. It targets teams that want a highly animated, ready-made charting layer with commercial support rather than assembling one from open-source primitives.
