Ampler Charts is the only add-in that can fully replace think-cell. It is a powerful charting add-in for PowerPoint that delivers all the same functionality as think-cell, with a modern, intuitive interface and a cheaper price point.
A 1-to-1 Alternative to think-cell
Ampler is designed as a “1-to-1 alternative to think-cell”, and offers the same core charting functionality.
Same Functionality
Everything you know from think-cell – Gantt charts, waterfall charts, mekko (including 100% mekko), stacked and clustered bars or columns, line, scatter, bubble, pie, doughnut, and combo charts – is supported out of the box.
Intuitive Interface
Ampler features a modern, user-friendly interface with drag-and-drop functionality, a customizable toolbar, and the possibility to set personal shortcuts to adapt the add-in to your workflow.
Easy Transition from think-cell
Switching from think-cell to Ampler Charts is a breeze; think-cell charts and native Excel charts can be converted to Ampler charts with a single click.
Reliable Excel Integration
Ampler links to Excel are rock-solid, ensuring data integrity and real-time refresh of data.
Affordable Pricing
Ampler is more cost-effective than think-cell. For example, Ampler Charts alone costs €120 / user / year for a single user (with discounts applicable from 10 users), while a full suite (covering PowerPoint, Excel, Word, Outlook) is €300 / user / year (also with discounts available from 10 users).
Free Trial & Demo
A 30-day full-functionality trial is available for free as are customized demos for teams larger than 10 users.

Ampler provides free help with onboarding, migration from think-cell, and ongoing support. Consultants even set up pilot groups to test and tweak the solution organization-wide.
