Questions

Is ChartCraft a good Gliffy alternative?

If you'd rather describe a diagram than draw it, yes. ChartCraft turns plain English into laid-out flowcharts, ERDs, BPMN, and UML diagrams, then exports SVG or PNG. It complements Gliffy rather than replacing every use case.

Is it free?

You can make your first 3 diagrams with no account, then 5 a month on a free account. Paid plans start at $10/mo.

Can I export my diagrams?

Yes — SVG and PNG export are available on every plan, with no watermark.
