Understand data at a glance with interactive radar charts
Radar charts (also called spider charts) let you compare multiple metrics on the same scale, making patterns and differences easy to spot. They’re often used for evaluations, profiles, or competitive analysis.
With Flourish, you can create and customize radar charts in seconds – no coding needed. Upload your data, adjust colors and labels, and share fully interactive charts that look great on any screen.
USE CASES
Reveal clear, multi-dimensional insights
From performance reviews to competitor benchmarks, reveal strengths and gaps with radar charts
Compare multiple dimensions
From products to sales regions, use radar charts to spot differences across attributes. This simple data visualization makes it easy to see where things stand.
Evaluate performance
Use radar (spider) graphs to check how individuals, teams, or departments stack up across metrics. A quick way to reveal strengths and areas to grow.
Supercharge your radar charts
Use stellar charts or radial bars when you’re working with many categories, need cleaner side-by-side comparisons, or want to avoid shapes that can be misleading.
FEATURES
Everything you need to create radar charts
Powerful features that make data visualization easy and beautiful
No coding required
Build radar graphs in minutes without writing a line of code. Just upload your data and customize the design.
Interactive elements
Add filters, tooltips, and legends so viewers can explore the data in a way that makes sense to them.
Responsive design
Create immersive data stories that adapt to any screen size for a consistent experience across all platforms.
Grid of charts
Show multiple radar charts side by side to spot patterns, or arrange them in custom layouts for more context.
Smooth view transitions
Switch between combined and individual views with beautiful built-in animations that keep comparisons clear.
Stellar and radial bars
Switch from traditional radars to stellar or radial bar charts to make comparisons clearer, cleaner, and more memorable.
Simple or combined radar
Start with a classic radar (spider) chart to compare one profile, or overlay multiple charts to spot outliers. Built-in filters let viewers switch views.
Grid of radar charts
Display many radars side by side to compare players, teams, or categories at a glance. This layout makes it easy to spot patterns across groups.
Radial bar chart
Pick a radial bar chart for cleaner comparisons. Unlike radars, shapes aren’t skewed by metric order, so differences stand out more clearly.

A radar chart (also called a spider chart) is a type of data visualization that shows multiple variables on axes starting from the same center point. The web-like shape makes it easy to compare categories side by side and see strengths, weaknesses, or overall profiles. Use it to evaluate performance, compare skills, or highlight product differences.
While there's no hard limit, 3-8 variables work best for readability. Too many axes create visual clutter and make comparisons difficult. Consider grouping related variables or using multiple charts for complex datasets.
Flourish makes it simple to build interactive radar (spider) charts without coding. You can switch between combined and individual views, create grids of charts, or try alternatives like radial bars for clearer comparisons. With built-in customization, smooth animations, and responsive design, your charts look polished and work on any screen.
