Q: Continuity and scalability

I am really tempted to get this tool, but I have a concern about the continuity and scalability of the tool. Upon checking your LinkedIn company profile, I don't see any activity prior to 2023 with only 2 or 3 employees. This is somehow a red flag. What's your plan to mitigate such risk?

A: Hi
Apologies if this reply came after the deal ended. We had a similar question last year, here you can read more:
https://appsumo.com/products/chartpixel/questions/sustainability-of-this-good-product-1195509/

Many companies on AppSumo are relatively new products/ companies. We had the idea of ChartPixel in 2021, started building in 2022 and launched Beta in 2023, while full launch was 1 year ago. Our focus was always on subscription but when AppSumo approached us last year, we believed it is nice to get this lovely community's feedback and improve it, which we did as per the latest founder update.

Q: Difference between "automated data cleaning" and "advanced data cleaning"

Hi, Love the deal and hope you can help explore this use case. I run a consultancy and we get asked to pre-process and clean data for our clients. The data cleaning features are by far the most important for us and I am curious for you to please elaborate on the exact functionality of the "gold subscription, which I understand is equivalent to the highest AppSumo tier, and the business tier on your website, listing "advanced data cleaning." Please could you explain the difference. Thanks.

A: Hi there!

Both do a fine work, but there are significant differences at the detail and level of customization.

Automated Data Cleaning is included in your deal:

This feature is designed for self-serve users who want to quickly and efficiently prepare their data without extensive manual effort. It covers a broad set of common cleaning tasks such as:

- Putting semi-structure data into shape, e.g. merged headers, random comments, spaces etc.
- Semantic and topical analysis of comments
- Parsing of dates, currencies and units
- Removing duplicates and handling missing values
- Converting columns into proper formats such as Booleans to faciliate more powerful charts
- Basic corrections, typos etc.
- Renaming of long column names
- Grouping from multi-select questions in a questionnaire etc.
- Creatiion of new columns, such as geographic regions, numerical groups

Business subscription offer tailored onboarding and dashboards. With regards to data cleaning this means:

- Evaluation of your data lake
- Custom rule-based cleaning tailored to your business or industry needs
- Handling very large, multi-source, or “dirty” data lakes
- Specialty transformations and mapping
- AI-assisted error detection and correction
- Dedicated consultancy: our data experts work with you to design, implement, and sometimes even fully manage the data cleaning process for your projects
- Ongoing support for complex pipelines This is much more hands-on and personalized—your team can rely on both advanced technology and our data experts for best-in-class data preparation.

In Summary:

Self-serve/Gold Tier/AppSumo: Automated, fast, and easy—great for straightforward cleaning needs suitable for a wide array of data.

Business/Enterprise Tiers: Includes everything above plus custom and advanced data cleaning for organizations with more complex requirements.

Typically the business tier has been the mother of invention in new features for the consumer tier, that is, many of the features that have been developed come from business needs that were deemed suitable for seralisation at some point. Over time we have and continue to improve this feature with passion for data.

Hope this helps and let me know if you need more details. Thanks!

Q: Enhancement of your site

I'm your customer and planning to upgrade my plan since you're returning but I want to know that do you plan to upgrade your site UI as the current one is a bit out-of-date. It needs a better looking site. Also, documentation is missing and explanation of the your calculation and stats are not available. It needs more transparency and explanation. Sometimes I don't trust the data or findings presented as there is no way to tell. If I were to present the findings I cant support it with methods, calculation and reasonings behind. I think this has limited the use and adoption. Please work on that as I love your products but it has to be improved further thanks

A: Hi! Thank you so much for coming back with you thoughtful question and considering an upgrade with us.

Improving documentation and providing clear explanations for our statistical methods and calculations are top priorities on our roadmap. We understand how important transparency is, especially when you need to present and support findings with solid reasoning.

ChartPixel’s insights are based on advanced statistical and machine learning models. To help with interpretability and transparency, many chart includes an analysis option. By clicking it, you can access detailed results of the underlying statistical tests, including test statistics, hypotheses, significance levels, and clear explanations of what they mean and how to interpret them. They are the foundation for most of the chart insights. We're continuing to improve these explanations to make the results even more actionable and trustworthy.

As for the UI, I agree! While we've been focused on rolling out new requested features such as chat-with-your-charts&data, language support and integrations that provide immediate value. Constant and rapid developments of features for a complex tool such as ChartPixel make the UI unfortunately lag behind and it bugs us. A major UI update is on our roadmap and will follow as we have settled a little bit more in the development. We really appreciate your continued support and love for the product, it means a lot to us.

Q: Importing Data

Can we import data via API or just uploads?

Like I use MySQL and Postgres, can we not give a query that is used to load the data?

If I can automate this completely I am in.

A: Hi there! Great question. Yes, you can import data into our platform using SQL connections, and we support both MySQL and Postgres. You'll just need to provide your database credentials (host, username, password, schema, and table). Your login details are not saved as the connection is used only once to pull the data into your project.

You can choose which columns to include after the connection is made, and you can import either the top or bottom rows, with a limit of up to 100,000 rows per import.

At the moment, we don’t support custom SQL queries directly, mainly to prevent accidental changes like deleting rows or dropping tables. :-) However, we like tis idea and something we're open to exploring with our developers.

Thanks again for the suggestion. Making automation easier is one of our top priorities!
