As nice as all the others are, none of them have the polish of highcharts that I’ve seen. They just have some real sexy charts. If you plan on doing a ton of charting, the $80 to make your charts look real nice is well spent.

Their pie does leave a little to be desired. Sprinkle g.raphael pie in amongst your highcharts everythingelse and you’re set.

Raphael is very impressive, but I haven’t seen it used specifically for charting… [goes to Google]… Aha! There is a charting library! I’ll add that, too.

That said, HighCharts is pretty nice and I’ve spent way, way, way, way, way more than $80 of my own time getting open source Flash charting libraries to work. I’m also happy to give my $80 to a developer of quality software.
