What is this tool?
This suits someone who has the data and the question but not the time or the syntax, and who wants to see the code rather than trust a black box. Two things shape the decision: the entry tier meters you at 200 messages a month, which is a real ceiling on exploratory work, and uploads are wiped an hour after you stop touching them unless you are on the higher tier and opt into longer retention.

You upload a file, type what you want to know, and Vizly writes the Python or R that answers it, then runs that code for you. Work arrives as questions rather than as projects. Because the code is the product rather than a hidden step, the tool sits closer to a fast pair-programmer than to a dashboard builder: it is strongest when you already understand your data and weakest when you are hoping something interesting will be pointed out to you.
Messages are the currency, and that is what separates the tiers. The $19.99USD entry plan gives you 200 of them a month with custom prompting and the better models; the $29.99USD tier removes the count and adds the things that matter once you are working seriously — faster compute, memory that carries between responses, and files that survive from one session to the next. Yearly billing is marked 17% cheaper, and Enterprise is quoted rather than listed. Two hundred messages sounds generous until you remember that a false start, a reformatted chart and a follow-up question are three of them.
The retention policy deserves a decision rather than a glance. Everything you send sits behind encryption both on the wire and on disk, is walled off to your account alone, and is destroyed an hour after you stop working. If you handle clinical, financial or personal data that is a strong position to take to an information-governance review. If you are working through a large dataset over a week it is a constraint, and the longer retention window is something you opt into on the upper tier rather than a default.
Before a contract reaches procurement: the product is owned by Aggregate Intelligence, a data-services business. That changes nothing about how the tool works, but it is the entity you would be contracting with, and it is not the name on the product.
Is this right for you?
Quick fit check against how you actually work.
Choose this if
- The dataset is already clean and the bottleneck is writing the analysis, not finding the data
- You need to show your working — a reviewer, a supervisor or a compliance team will ask how the number was produced
- Your files arrive as SPSS or PDF and you are tired of converting them first
- Short-lived storage is a feature for you rather than a nuisance, because the data is confidential
- You are a student or teacher, since a 25% discount on the upper tier is offered on request
Consider alternatives if
- You explore in long, iterative sessions — 200 messages a month on the entry tier is the constraint you will hit first
- You want to return to the same uploaded file across days without re-uploading, which needs the upper tier and its retention setting
- You need to know what you can do before paying, because the free allowance the site advertises is not stated in a usable form
- Your work must stay on your own infrastructure, since this is a hosted service that ingests the file
Key features
What you can actually do with this tool.
You choose Python or R
The language is yours to pick, and the generated code is visible rather than hidden behind a result. For anyone who has to defend a number to a supervisor or a reviewer, an answer you can cite beats an answer you must vouch for.
SPSS and PDF are first-class inputs
Alongside CSV, Excel, JSON and images, the two formats academic work actually arrives in are handled directly, with no intermediate export step. If your SPSS variable labels or PDF tables matter to the analysis, that is one fewer place they can be lost.
The session becomes a report
Analysis leaves as a shareable link or a Word or PDF export rather than as screenshots. The work is finished when it is written up, and this closes that gap inside the tool.
An hour of inactivity and the upload is gone
Files sit in an isolated environment only you can reach and are deleted permanently after an hour idle. For regulated or confidential data that is a genuine argument for the tool; for a long analysis you keep returning to, it is an argument for the higher tier, where longer retention is an option you switch on.

Frequently asked
Common questions about this tool, answered.
Can I see the code it runs?
Yes, and that is the point of the design. You choose whether it writes Python or R, and the generated code is part of the answer rather than something happening out of sight. If you need to reproduce the analysis elsewhere, or justify it to someone who will not accept 'the tool said so', that is what you take with you.
What happens to my file after I close the tab?
It is deleted permanently after an hour of inactivity. Uploads are encrypted in transit and at rest and sit in an isolated environment only your account can reach. Premium subscribers can opt into longer retention windows, which is the setting to look for if you work across several days.
Is there a free version?
The site says free use is available and then gives the allowance as zero messages a month, so there is no figure here worth planning around. The published plans start at $19.99USD a month for 200 messages. Treat the paid entry tier as the real starting point and confirm anything free with the vendor before you rely on it.
Will it handle an SPSS file with variable labels intact?
SPSS is one of the formats the product names as a speciality, alongside CSV, Excel, PDF, images and JSON, so the file goes in directly rather than through a CSV conversion. Whether your labels and value codes survive the upload is worth checking on one file before you rely on it.
