What it is
Datastory is a web service for turning data into interactive charts, data-driven web applications, and presentations published as stories. Its AI can interpret uploaded data, suggest visualizations, identify insights, and draft captions based on workspace data. A chart picker reads data columns and recommends encodings for categorical, temporal, geographic, or hierarchical information. Visualizations can be shared as standalone links, embedded in websites, or exported as high-quality images; Datastory also describes embedding them in Notion, Webflow, newsletters, and content management systems. Its Open Data catalog includes statistics from sources such as OECD, WHO, Eurostat, the World Bank, and the UN. The free Starter plan includes 10 visualizations, up to three team members, 100 AI credits per month, and unlimited open data downloads. Professional costs $15 a month, billed per user, and includes unlimited visualizations and collaborators. Datastory was founded in 2005 and is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. Enterprise pricing is custom.
