- Very easy for non-designers to get something basic created
- Fast & free
- You tend to make something that looks like every other infographic out there — and most of these are poor
- It’s harder to go off-piste and customise – InDesign is obviously much better for proper design
- Sharing isn’t built in and there’s no community here to help share and promote your work (as with YouTube and Slideshare)

Hi Doug
Thanks for the review and we are doing quite a number of things to ensure tha it’s not another me too infographic. We are launching a new version and all the future versions will only reflect a “faster and better than PowerPoint” set of features.
Thank you again and check us out again!

Devastated piktochart people if you’re still reading this, after using your free trial to design a work I wanted to show someone tomorrow, only to discover that It won’t download unless you upgrade and pay.
I took a grab of my work even though it has been diligently compromised with your background graphics and the sizing is wrong, at least I can use it to present my work but that’s just not a great introduction to your product.
Needless to say I will never come back.
While actually designing I felt that some of your options are very thin on content and it seems unfinished.
