Boromlia vs Venngage for timelines: export a PDF and a CSV on the free plan, keep it private, and add events without redesigning anything.
Venngage makes timeline infographics from templates, and its free plan shares publicly and downloads nothing. Boromlia keeps a timeline private until you choose, and exports a PDF, a CSV and the photos on every plan, the free one included.
An infographic is drawn once. A roadmap, a product history or a release log is not: it moves every quarter. Boromlia stores each item as an event with a date or a range, tags, a chapter, a source and photos, so a slipped date is one edit. The Spans style puts ranges and single dates on one axis, and on Advanced the Ribbon lays the same items out left to right, the way most roadmaps are drawn.
