Piktochart vs Visme

Pick Piktochart if you mostly make infographics, visual reports and summaries, and you want the cheaper per-member plan. Pick Visme if your work runs wider: sales decks, proposals, interactive HTML5 content and charts, plus analytics on who viewed what. Visme does more. Piktochart costs less and is quicker to learn for its narrower job.

Pick Piktochart if

• Infographics, annual reports and research summaries are most of what you make.
• You want the lowest per-member price and can live with PNG-only downloads on Pro.
• You're an educator or nonprofit and want Piktochart's discounted plans.
• You want a simpler editor that people can pick up without training.

Pick Visme if

• You build sales decks, proposals and reports that get presented or shared, not just downloaded.
• You want to publish interactive HTML5 content, or export to PowerPoint and video.
• You want analytics on shared projects and forms built into the same tool.
• You need PDF downloads on the entry plan. Visme Starter includes them, and Piktochart Pro doesn't.

How they differ

Pricing. As of November 2026, Piktochart Pro costs $10 per member per month billed annually, or $15 per member month to month, with PNG downloads only. Business costs $17 per member per month billed annually, or $20 monthly, and adds PDF and PowerPoint downloads. Piktochart's free plan allows only 2 PNG downloads. Visme Starter costs $12.25 per person per month, billed as $147 a year, with JPG, PNG and PDF downloads. Business costs $24.75 per person per month, billed as $297 a year, and adds PowerPoint, HTML5, video and GIF downloads, a brand kit and analytics.

Core strength. Piktochart is focused. Its templates and editor are built around infographics and reports that explain information, and that focus keeps it simple. Visme is a broader business-content platform, with deeper charts and data widgets, interactive elements, presentations and forms.

Export formats. Both vendors hold back key formats for the higher plan. On Piktochart you need Business for PDF and PowerPoint. On Visme you need Business for PowerPoint, HTML5 and video. Price the plan that has the export you'll actually use.

Where each falls short. Piktochart's free plan is a trial in practice, and it has little for interactive or video content. Visme has a steeper learning curve and costs more per person, and it's more tool than you need if you just make a few infographics a month.
