Closing thoughts
If you use Adobe XD for creating website and app mockups then you will like this simple and useful XD plugin to create charts. The plugin is clean and a few clicks are all you need to add a chart in your design quickly. However, the only downside that I see is limited number of chart types. Charts type such as pie chart, etc., are missing but if you are okay the types that it offers now then you are free to give it a try.
