LivingCharts turns a spreadsheet into an animated chart video. PlotSet does that too, and the chart keeps working afterwards.
Choose LivingCharts if you want a simple, focused tool for animated chart videos and nothing else. Choose PlotSet if the same data also needs to become a live embed, a static chart, or a map — or if you want AI to build it for you.
LivingCharts is a browser tool for creating animated data visualizations and exporting them as videos. It covers bar chart races, animated line charts, bubble charts and pie charts, driven from an uploaded spreadsheet. The workflow is deliberately short: upload, style, export.
PlotSet is a full chart platform where animated video is one output among several — alongside 300+ templates, live interactive embeds on every plan, maps, and integrations with Figma, Google Sheets and Chrome.
LivingCharts finishes at a video file. PlotSet's animated chart is also an embeddable, updatable object, so the same work can appear on a web page, in a deck, in a design file, or as an MP4.

Provide your data with categories and time periods.
Bar race, line, bubble or pie.
Set colours, labels and animation speed.
Download the finished animation as a video file.
CSV, Excel, or a Google Sheet.
Animated, interactive or static.
Theme, colours and animation timing, previewed live.
Live embed on any plan, MP4 video on every plan.
LivingCharts is straightforward and does what it says. Its limits are scope: no embeds, no maps, no static chart library, no AI. If a video is all you need it is a perfectly reasonable tool. If your data has more than one destination, a single-output tool means rebuilding the same chart somewhere else.
Publish an interactive chart to your page on any plan, free included.
Animated and static map templates, which LivingCharts does not offer.
Static and interactive types beyond the animated set.
MP4 export at no cost — watermarked and daily-limited on Free, unbranded on Plus.
Figma, Google Sheets, Chrome and a 13-tool MCP server.
Both tools read the same spreadsheet shape — categories in rows, time periods in columns — so the file you already have will work in PlotSet without reshaping. Expect to restyle rather than port the visual design.
No. LivingCharts produces video files. PlotSet includes live interactive embeds on every plan, including the free one.
