RAWGraphs is a free, open-source way to get an unusual chart out as an SVG. PlotSet is what you use when it has to live on a page, animate, or become a video.
Choose RAWGraphs if you want a free, privacy-respecting way to produce an unusual static chart — alluvial diagrams, beeswarm plots, treemaps — and finish it in a vector editor. Choose PlotSet if you need the chart hosted, embedded, animated or exported as video.
RAWGraphs is a free, open-source, browser-based tool from an academic and design lineage. It excels at chart types most commercial tools skip — alluvial and Sankey diagrams, beeswarm plots, circle packing, contour plots. Data is processed in your browser and never uploaded. The output is an SVG or PNG you download and typically refine in Illustrator or Figma.
PlotSet is a hosted platform where the chart stays live: 300+ templates, interactive embeds on every plan, data-driven animation, MP4 video export on every plan, and plugins for Figma, Google Sheets and Chrome.
RAWGraphs ends at a downloaded file. There is no account, no hosting, no embed and no animation — by design, because it is a free tool that respects your data by never receiving it. PlotSet begins where RAWGraphs stops: a chart you publish, embed, update and re-export.

RAWGraphs is free, open source and genuinely good at chart types PlotSet does not offer — and it costs nothing, which is hard to argue with. It is also unapologetically a one-shot export tool: no hosting, no interactivity and no animation. The honest comparison is that they solve different halves of the problem. If you need an alluvial diagram for a poster, use RAWGraphs. If you need a chart that lives on your site and moves, use PlotSet.
Hosted, embeddable, and updatable rather than a one-time SVG download.
Data-driven races and animated maps, rendered to MP4 on any plan.
Finished-looking chart designs rather than layouts to style yourself.
PlotSet includes map templates; RAWGraphs has no map support.
Figma, Sheets, Chrome and a 13-tool MCP server.
There is nothing to migrate — RAWGraphs stores nothing. Use the same CSV in PlotSet and pick a matching template. For the exotic chart types RAWGraphs specialises in, check PlotSet's template library first; where there is no equivalent, keeping RAWGraphs alongside costs nothing.
Yes — it is open source under Apache 2.0, needs no account, and processes data in your browser rather than on a server. For static, unusual chart types on zero budget it is an excellent tool and we would not pretend otherwise.
