Chartbuddy vs Graphy: which AI chart maker fits your team.

Graphy is an AI chart maker with two products.

Graphy.app is for anyone. You add data from a sheet, a CSV or a prompt. Graphy suggests charts, writes headline takeaways, applies your brand, and lets you share or embed the result. For PowerPoint or Google Slides, you export an image. Graphy charts also run inside Gamma, a presentation tool of its own.

Graphy.dev is for product teams. It is a toolkit a product team installs so their own software can show charts, with a built-in chart editor and AI agents that clean data, pick chart types, annotate and write narrative. A commercial license is arranged with Graphy.

In Graphy, the math runs in the engine, and the agents see a schema summary, never the records.

Chartbuddy is built by two ex-Monitor Deloitte consultants for strategy, finance and consulting teams.

It covers four workflows.

1. Build it in the deck. Chartbuddy for PowerPoint and Chartbuddy for Google Slides™ run inside the presentation. Charts stay editable in the file. Google Slides can sync with Google Sheets.
2. Prompt your AI. With Chartbuddy Hub, you ask Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Claude Desktop or Antigravity for a chart, and it lands on the open slide, ready to edit. Chartbuddy for PowerPoint or Chartbuddy for Google Slides™ has to be open to receive it. Your numbers stay on your computer.
3. Ship an HTML dashboard. With Chartbuddy Embed, Claude or ChatGPT generates the HTML, and every chart inside it stays editable.
4. Ask your analytics agent. Ask a question in Slack, Teams or WhatsApp. Ask for the deck and it opens in Google Slides with charts you can keep editing. See how that works.

Fourteen chart types for finance and strategy decks, including waterfall charts, mekko charts, bar mekko, marimekko, stacked bar charts and combo charts, plus growth and CAGR arrows. See the full library.

Chartbuddy. The chart is built in PowerPoint or Google Slides, in your house style, and the next person edits it in the file. From Graphy you export an image.

Chartbuddy. Hub connects Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Claude Desktop and Antigravity to the open deck. The chart lands on the slide already editable. There is no copy and paste step.

Chartbuddy. Ask in Slack, Teams or WhatsApp. Ask for the deck and it opens in Google Slides with charts you can keep editing. See how that works.

Either works. With Chartbuddy Embed, Claude or ChatGPT generates the HTML and you can drag a chart into PowerPoint or Google Slides without rebuilding it. With Graphy, the chart stays on the web.

Graphy. Themes and AI-written takeaways are made for a chart that gets shared.

Graphy. The toolkit ships the chart and the editing experience inside the product you sell. Commercial licensing includes enterprise support, and the price is on request.

Where you work. Chartbuddy works inside PowerPoint and Google Slides. Graphy works in its own app, and inside Gamma, a presentation tool of its own. For PowerPoint or Google Slides, you export an image.

Pricing. Chartbuddy Pro is EUR 10 or USD 12 per seat per month. Graphy Plus is $16 per user per month, and Business is $36. See pricing.

Security. It is a tie on certification. Chartbuddy is SOC 2 Type II. Graphy states SOC 2 Type 2. Graphy says charts render client-side, and the agents see a schema summary, never the records. On Chartbuddy Hub, Google Slides, PowerPoint and Embed, chart data is processed on your device or in your file.

Use Chartbuddy if you are a finance or strategy professional who ships board packs, investment memos, client work or monthly reporting, and the chart has to stay editable in the deck.

Use Graphy if you ship stories: social posts, newsletters and web reports, or charts inside your own product.

If your next deadline is a deck, start with Chartbuddy.
