Highcharts
Commercially licensed JavaScript charting library for business and financial dashboards, free only for personal or non-commercial use.
Highcharts is a JavaScript charting library covering standard, financial (Highcharts Stock), mapping (Highcharts Maps), and Gantt chart types, along with a Python wrapper. Unlike most peers in this category it is not open source: it is free for personal, educational, and non-commercial projects, but any commercial deployment requires a paid per-developer license. It is built for cross-browser and mobile-friendly rendering with accessibility features (keyboard navigation, screen-reader support) built in, and is commonly chosen by finance and enterprise-software teams that want a mature, well-documented library with commercial support rather than an open-source stack they maintain themselves. Licensing is per developer seat, sold annually or as a perpetual license, with separate add-on modules priced individually.
