Highcharts is beautiful but it's quite expensive for a startup in my country (VN). While the budget for a nascent webapp is around $1000. I choose Flot as the replacement. It's flexible and nice enough with responsive layout, compound charts, clearly script.
- castell 11y agoI used flot too, as a replacement for Highcharts. The only downside I dislike about flot is that it depends on JQuery. As I otherwise don't rely on JQuery at all, it means another ~80kb of additional JS code. Beside that, flot seem to be a very good free alternative.
- akg_67 11y agoI started out with flot after noticing the high cost of Highcharts. But now have been switching out flot with dimple.js and d3.js. The charts are much better with dimple/d3.
- castell 11y agoInteresting. I considered graph libs based on-top of D3. But D3 is equally big in JS file size to JQuery. And SVG wasn't supported in older Android (2.3) and slower in Firefox and Chrome 3 years ago. So flot with its Canvas rendering "won" in the end.
