For everyday users who need to turn data into beautiful charts and reports quickly, Graphy is the clear winner—it's easier, cheaper, and works with files you already have. Draxlr is more powerful for people who work with SQL databases and need live dashboards, but it costs more and has a steeper learning curve. The single biggest difference: Graphy is for non-technical storytelling, Draxlr is for database pros.

Common questions
No—Graphy is much better for that. It directly supports CSV, Excel, and Google Sheets, while Draxlr only works with SQL databases. If your data is in a file, choose Graphy.
Neither has a mobile app. Both are web-only, so you can open them in a phone browser, but the experience is not optimized for small screens.
Graphy is cheaper because it has a free tier and lower-cost plans. Draxlr starts at $75/month, which is expensive unless you need live database monitoring.
Both can connect to Airtable. Draxlr lists Airtable as an input type, and Graphy supports Airtable links. So either works, but Graphy is easier if you're not technical.
Draxlr is better for live dashboards because it connects directly to SQL databases and can refresh in real time. Graphy's free and lower-tier plans have slower refresh rates (hours, not seconds).
Graphy wins for everyday chart-making from files; Draxlr is for SQL database pros who need live dashboards and alerts.
If you're not a database expert and just want to turn your spreadsheets into beautiful charts, start with Graphy—it's free to try and incredibly easy. Only consider Draxlr if you already have a SQL database and need live monitoring or alerts, and you're willing to pay $75/month.
