The open-source BI platform that turns your dbt project into a governed, version-controlled analytics engine.

Build and embed responsive, high-performance data visualizations without writing a single line of code.
ChartBlocks, now a part of the Ceros ecosystem, remains a leading player in the no-code data visualization market for 2026. The platform's technical architecture is built on the D3.js framework, allowing it to generate SVG-based charts that are both highly performant and resolution-independent. Unlike static charting tools, ChartBlocks focuses on the 'live data lifecycle,' enabling users to bridge the gap between disparate data sources—such as Google Sheets, Excel, or SQL databases—and professional-grade visual outputs. Its market position is unique: it serves as the middle ground between basic spreadsheet charts and complex BI tools like Tableau or PowerBI. In 2026, the tool has expanded its AI-driven 'Smart Wizard,' which suggests the most effective visualization type based on the distribution and variance of the imported dataset. With its 'Create Once, Embed Anywhere' philosophy, it provides a seamless integration layer for CMS platforms, proprietary dashboards, and digital publications, maintaining mobile responsiveness through native CSS media queries embedded directly within the chart logic.
