Description
Problem
Users deactivating the free version of Visualizer state that manual data entry is too restrictive and report uninstalling because importing chart data from external files (e.g. CSV) requires upgrading to Pro. This creates a high barrier to entry for users trying to quickly create charts from existing dataset files.
Desired Behavior
Allow users on the free version of Visualizer to import chart data by uploading a basic local CSV file during chart creation, while retaining advanced capabilities (such as automated sync schedules, remote URL/JSON/database imports, and XLSX formats) as Pro features.
Acceptance Criteria
- Free tier users can upload and parse a local CSV file when creating or editing a chart in the chart editor.
- Imported CSV data correctly populates the chart data table.
- Pro-only features (e.g. XLSX import, scheduled remote URL/JSON syncing, and database import) remain properly gated under the Pro version.
Customer Context
Feedback entry collected upon plugin deactivation after 22 hours of use. The user deactivated the plugin because the free version does not permit importing data files directly into charts, leading them to search for alternative plugins.
Root Cause Analysis
Users evaluating Visualizer need to populate charts quickly using pre-existing data files (e.g., CSV exports). Because all file and URL import options are gated under the Pro tier, free tier users are forced into manual text/table data entry, creating friction during early onboarding and causing users to seek alternative plugins.
Reasoning
The uninstall feedback submission (Entry 1) expresses frustration that importing chart data (such as uploading CSV/XLSX files) is locked behind the Pro version of Visualizer. In the free plugin, importing data from files/URLs is Pro-gated and manual data entry is the primary free method. Allowing basic file import in the free tier is a actionable feature request to lower onboarding friction for free users.
