Flourish

Flourish is a browser-based data visualization platform for turning datasets into interactive charts, maps, animated stories and scrollytelling narratives. It is aimed at creators who need to explain data to audiences without writing code, covering use cases such as financial performance, survey results, marketing metrics and location-based analysis. Published outputs can be embedded on websites, shared by URL, or used in presentations.

The platform offers more than 50 templates, including line, bar, area, interactive map, hierarchy, survey and Sankey diagram types. Visuals support tooltips, filters and animation, with responsive layouts for different screen sizes. Live data connections can pull from publicly accessible CSV files at regular intervals, and Google Sheets is listed as a supported connection. An AI Assistant helps refine charts inside the editor, while the Connector supports MCP-compatible AI tools. Developers can use the API for programmatic creation and the SDK to build custom templates. Flourish also integrates with Canva, and exports are available as PNG, JPEG and, in most cases, SVG.

Flourish is used by individuals, newsrooms, marketing teams, financial services, professional services, nonprofits, education and government. A free plan covers the full template range and unlimited projects, with privacy for unpublished work. Paid editions add Canva integration, image and SVG export, team collaboration, API access, branded output without attribution and advanced storytelling features such as scrollytelling.
