Connecting Chart.io to your data is quite simple. They set up a very secure ssh tunnel to one of their servers that allows them to connect back to your database. The servers are fully locked and hardened so that your data is completely secure.

Chart.io does not store a copy of your data and as the data does not stay in the servers of Chart.io, but travels to and from the servers, your data stays safe.

With Chart.io, you can see your business from every angle. Its customized reports can easily be shared and embedded anywhere on the web.

The pricing for the service starts from $85 per month to $485 per month.
