🎉🎉🎉 Today we're launching not one but two (!) new chart types tailored for specific audiences: waterfall charts and dual-axis charts. They're available as part of our new Business plan. Let's have a closer look ⬇️

First, waterfall charts. They're are all about the journey, not the destination. How did we land at our 2025 profit? Why did the sales team end the year not bigger, despite five new hires? Waterfall charts plot all the ups and downs in sales, revenue, inventory, employees, and more.

Next, dual-axis charts. They're great for showing metrics on very different scales — like customers in the thousands and customer satisfaction in %.
