About Flourish
Flourish turns data into charts, maps and stories using templates, so no coding is needed. Stories add captions and text around the visuals. The use cases on the site include elections, sports, maps and survey responses. The Flourish Assistant suggests refinements to a chart, and the Flourish Connector links it to MCP-compatible AI tools.
The free plan includes unlimited projects and the full template range. Public publishing shows Flourish attribution, and unpublished projects stay private. Paid plans remove attribution and add embeds for Canva and PowerPoint. The Flourish trademark is held by Canva UK Operations Ltd, and the pricing page describes Presenter as included with Canva Business. Flourish suits journalists and communicators who publish interactive visuals.
