Venngage vs Piktochart
Venngage and Piktochart are both browser infographic editors with a free plan, and the difference sits in what the free plan actually lets you do and where each starts charging per person. Venngage gives five designs and a published ladder up to a stated Enterprise floor. Piktochart lets four people start free but allows only two PNG downloads. Venngage says it is Canadian-owned, while Piktochart shows a company name and no country in the text we captured.
Sebastiaan SmitsFounderVendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. How that works.
Choose Venngage ifyou want a clear plan ladder, a free tier that holds five designs and a vendor that states it is Canadian-owned. You will pay for the Business seat when PDF or PowerPoint files matter.
Choose Piktochart ifyou have a team of up to a hundred that wants unlimited PNG downloads cheaply, and you can live without a stated head office. You also value a published Education or Nonprofit rate.

Where they differ
Venngage 2 · Piktochart 3 · open 1- 01
Two PNG downloads against five designs
Venngage's free plan holds 5 designs, allows public link sharing only and gives 6 image uploads. Piktochart's free plan allows 1 to 4 users but only 2 downloads, and those are PNG only. Piktochart's free tier therefore works as a short trial, while Venngage's lets you keep working on a handful of designs, which suits a first project. No download cap for Venngage's free plan appears in the text we captured.

Where PDF and PowerPoint begin
On Venngage, Premium adds PNG and hi-res PNG export, and PDF and PowerPoint export arrive only with Business. On Piktochart, Pro gives unlimited PNG downloads and Business adds PDF and PPT downloads with a full brand kit. The gate sits at the same tier name in both products. Piktochart's Business is $17 or $20 per member, which is clearly labelled, so it is easier to budget.

Reading the price labels
Piktochart prints Pro at $10 per member monthly billed annually or $15 billed monthly, and Business at $17 or $20 the same way. Venngage lists Premium as $10 or $19 and Business as $24 or $49 per user per month, and its page does not clearly label yearly against monthly. We read the lower Business figure as yearly but cannot confirm it. Piktochart is the clearer price page, and that matters when you must present a budget.

AI credits and storage allowances
Piktochart states storage and AI credits per plan: 1 GB and 60 credits free, 100 GB and 500 on Pro, 250 GB and 1,000 on Business. Venngage meters AI credits per day: 80 on free, 160 on Premium and 1,600 on Business, with 6, 50 and 1,000 image uploads. The units differ, so the two cannot be lined up neatly, and Venngage gives no storage figure in the text we captured.
Depends on the buyer

Big teams and the Enterprise step
Venngage's Enterprise starts at $499 per month with a minimum of 10 members and adds MFA, an API and integrations. Piktochart's Enterprise is custom priced from 101 users, and its Business plan covers 1 to 100 users at published seat prices. A hundred-person team can stay on a published price at Piktochart, while Venngage sends teams above ten members to a sales conversation, with the $499 floor as the opening figure.

Company base and ownership
Venngage's about page says it was founded in Canada in 2012 and is Canadian-owned, with the copyright line reading Venngage, Inc. and no parent named. Piktochart's footer reads Piktochart LLC, and nothing in the text we captured states a country, head office or owner. For a buyer who has to name the supplier's jurisdiction, Venngage gives the answer and Piktochart does not, and neither names a parent company.

When neither fits
If you need charts that update from a spreadsheet, neither editor is built for it. Datawrapper and Visme are the alternatives from our infographic list to compare next.
Venngage or Piktochart: questions
3 answersCan a free Piktochart account export a finished infographic?
Only twice. The free plan allows 2 downloads in total, and they are PNG only. After that you need Pro, which lifts the PNG cap.
Is Venngage's cheaper paid plan labelled clearly?
Not fully. The Premium figures are $10 or $19 and the page does not say which is yearly. Business shows $24 or $49 per user per month, and the lower number appears to be the yearly one.
Which one says where the company is from?
Venngage states it was founded in Canada in 2012 and is Canadian-owned. Piktochart's footer shows Piktochart LLC without a country. Neither page names a parent company.
