We warned you that e-charting packages include a staggering array of functionality! This table compares the 14 most popular e-charting applications and the how they handle important features. The software is grouped by price range to facilitate comparison.

Some entries are marked with a "yes" or "no" to indicate whether a feature is included. We've also rated many of them, giving scores from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent). Those shaded in blue indicate they were recommended by the authors. Hopefully, these snapshots make the information easier to digest. But remember that vendors continually update their products. Before making any decisions, download the demoware and test for yourself!
