Highcharts - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

All our charting libraries work with any back-end database or server stack. Data can be given in any form, including CSV, JSON or loaded and updated live. Wrappers for most popular languages, such as .Net, PHP, Python, R, and Java, as well as iOS, and Android, and frameworks like Angular, Vue and React, are available from Highcharts or our community.

Highcharts offers an accessible interactive chart solution to empower people with disabilities. Each Highcharts license includes our Accessibility module and a flexible sonification API. The Accessibility module allows you to create charts as accessible as possible, whereas the sonification API helps you support multiple ways to bring data to life with sound. Visit our Accessibility Portal for more information.

Intelligent responsiveness goes beyond fitting the chart to the dimensions of its container, but places non-graph elements such as labels, legends and headings in the most optimal location automatically.
Multi-touch gesture support allows for a native experience on mobile and touch screens. Single touch-drag for data inspection, multi-touch for zooming, and more.

Thanks to the integration of TypeScript declarations, the Highcharts NPM package allows type checking for most Highcharts options and functions, including auto-complete code with integrated documentation for TypeScript-capable editors like Visual Studio Code.

The largest developer community of any premium charting tool on Github, StackOverflow, and other forums is eager to offer additional assistance, platform-specific implementation advice and inspiration when you need it. In addition, we have dozen dedicated support engineers monitoring our forums, StackOverflow, GitHub and support emails.

With annotations, developers may describe charts or data points by drawing simple shapes and text anywhere on the canvas or tethered to specific data points. Alternatively, the annotation module includes an API to build user interfaces, such as buttons, toolbars and dialogues, enabling end-users to place their own annotations on a chart. Placement and visibility of annotations intelligently respond to canvas/screen size at run-time.

When your need to render thousands or millions of datapoints in the browser, our WebGL-powered boost module delivers speed that leaves Plotly, dygraphs and other performance-focused charting libraries in the dust.

With the exporting module enabled, your users can export the chart to PNG, JPG, PDF or SVG format at the click of a button, or print the chart directly from the web page.

With Highcharts, source data can be post-processed in the client in order to improve the user experience. From version 8 and onward, you may enable marker clusters to your scatter series type of charts, and chose from 3 clustering algorithms. Another nice data processing feature is the ability to sort data, regardless of whether the data source is sorted.

For all license types, including the free, non-commercial licenses, you are allowed to download the source code, inspect it, and make your own edits.
