Ampler Launches PowerPoint Charting Add-in as Affordable Alternative to Think-Cell

Copenhagen, Denmark Sep 4, 2025 (EMWNews.com) – Ampler, the PowerPoint productivity add-in for management consultants, has expanded their suite of tools to include Ampler Charts, a state-of-the-art charting add-in to rival think-cell. The add-in is the first 1-to-1 alternative to think-cell and features all the same chart types and functions but at a more accessible cost.

Founded almost a decade ago but ex-Bain consultants, Ampler is well-known to large consultancies across the globe for its intuitive interface and extensive suite of functionality for Microsoft Office. The release of their new charting module strenghtens their mission to make enterprise-grade consulting tools available at a lower cost. Ampler Charts features Gantt charts that can be linked to Excel, as well as Mekko, waterfall, column, bar, line, scatter, and all other chart types used by consultants. Consultants often praise Ampler for their modern interface and ease of use, making it the first choice for many large consultancies.

Within the last decade, Ampler has grown rapidly and now comprises a comprehensive add-in suite for PowerPoint, Excel, Word, and Outlook with a user-centric focus. The new charting module makes it easy to build professional, client-ready beautiful charts in seconds, and allows the user to save their layouts.

“Consultants spend hours each day working in PowerPoint, building presentations and formatting charts. Our goal is to make this as easy and enjoyable as possible, releasing time to solve the problem rather than setting up graphs.” said Sune Høj Kodahl, CEO at Ampler. “Ampler provides the same speed and quality that consultants are used to from top tier consulting firms, but in a user-friendly and affordable package.”

Key features of the Ampler Charts PowerPoint add-in include:

• Easy Gantt charts with option to link to Excel data
• Affordable alternative to think-cell
• Intuitive and modern interface
• Integrated with Ampler’s suite of Office productivity tools

Switching add-ins from, e.g., think-cell is easy since think-cell charts can be converted to Ampler charts with a click, and are editable client-side without Ampler installed. Ampler also provides extensive onboarding and setup assistance, and even offers pilots and a free 30 day trial with full functionality.

The release of Ampler Charts as a think-cell alternative marks a mile-stone for Ampler which now features all the tools consultants need, including charting, library, time-savers, compliance checks, signature management and more. With this release, Ampler positions itself as the go-to affordable, modern, and reliable management consulting add-in for Microsoft Office.
