Before you choose
Check the price path
Look for a free plan when you need to start without a subscription. A free trial can give you a time-limited way to evaluate a paid option.
AG Charts shows a $499 starting price and includes a 30-day trial.
Match your platform
Confirm where the library runs before you choose it. The entries cover web, self-hosted, macOS, Linux, Windows and iOS environments.
A platform match can narrow the tools worth examining for your project.
Compare frameworks and chart types
Use the supported-frameworks field to check fit with your application stack. Review chart types against the visual forms your project needs.
Treat these as separate checks: framework support addresses integration, while chart types address what you can display.
Review rendering and interaction
Rendering modes describe how a library draws visual output. Interactive features describe how people can work with that output.
Compare both fields instead of assuming a library with the right chart types has the interaction model you need.
Check exports and licensing
Check whether the available export formats suit the files or images your workflow needs. License model matters when you share code or ship a product.
When you may inspect or modify code, review the license terms before selecting a library.
