New Themes which make our charts even more slick and beautiful. 2. 5 new Chart types including Waterfall, Funnel, Pyramid, Box & Whisker, Error Charts 3. Some of the most requested features like Crosshair, Axis Scale Breaks, etc 4. And as always, our charts provide 10x better performance than the conventional SVG Charting libraries. Here is Performance Demo of our Charts: https://canvasjs.com/javascript-... Do try out the Performance Demo on your Devices / Browsers and let us know how it performed!!

@bdrhoa Yes, we don't have Radar Charts yet. But it has been requested by several other users as well in the past. So, I think we should implement it. Will prioritize is higher in our Roadmap... :-)

The best js chart library around. Trust me, I have tried them all - easily 50+. Always come back to this.

Just a question on your pricing - what's the difference between SaaS and Internal Apps? Edit: Also, why do you pay per developer? Isn't the idea of "seats" for people who are going to login to a SaaS platform? My understanding would we buy this (brilliant) library to include in our project and it would be irrelevant whether 1 or 20 developers are involved in creating the project.

@scotty_bowler thanks for your interest in our Product. SaaS License is for companies who want to build SaaS Applications (public facing) and Internal one is for building Applications which are internally used in the company. The reason why we charge per developer is that we don't put any limit on the number of Applications (belonging to the licensee) in which our Charts can be used after purchasing license. It can be used to build any number of applications belonging to your company. Because we charge based on the number of developers working on CanvasJS, someone who is building only one or two applications will have to pay less. And a bigger company who has multiple teams working on different applications will purchase licenses separately. I hope this answers your questions. Feel free to let me know if you need any clarification.

@sunilurs is it concurrent developers or total developers on the project (even if they aren't working on the chart side?), and how do you track it out of interest?
Sunil Urs

@scotty_bowler Its number of developers / testers who would be working on CanvasJS API. Selling a JavaScript library and tracking its usage is very challenging - would like to hear if you have any thoughts on that. But it works to some extent when someone has opted for email based priority support. So, at the moment we don't try to track it - we go by our customer's words and so do other products based on JavaScript as far as I understand.. :-)

@sunilurs thanks for the clarification! Last question.. Can the charts be exported as graphics and pdfs? eg to be emailed to people as reports
Sunil Urs

@scotty_bowler, Yes, Exporting as image is natively supported. You can checkout this link https://canvasjs.com/docs/charts... Exporting to PDF can be done with few lines of code using jsPDF https://canvasjs.com/forums/topi...

Why is it so expensive?

We have few complicated graphs which cater to real time data. We have tried many other options in the market including highcharts & other. This is the most efficient.

Pros:

Performance of rendering, ease to implement

Cons:

Fewer chart formats than others in the industry. Sufficient for most scenarios though
