Ampler Debuts New PowerPoint Charting Add-in, Offering an Economical Think-Cell Alternative

Copenhagen, Denmark Sep 4, 2025  – Ampler, a well-established PowerPoint productivity add-in catering to management consultants, has broadened its toolset with the introduction of Ampler Charts. This new, cutting-edge charting add-in is positioned as a direct competitor to think-cell. Billed as the first direct, feature-for-feature alternative to think-cell, Ampler Charts encompasses all the same chart types and functionalities, but at a more competitive price point.

Established nearly a decade ago by former Bain consultants, Ampler has garnered recognition among major consultancies worldwide for its intuitive interface and comprehensive suite of functionalities for Microsoft Office. The introduction of this new charting module reinforces Ampler’s commitment to delivering enterprise-grade consulting tools at a more accessible cost. Ampler Charts supports various chart types essential for consultants, including Gantt charts with Excel linking capabilities, Mekko, waterfall, column, bar, line, scatter, and more. Consultants frequently commend Ampler for its contemporary interface and user-friendliness, leading many large consultancies to adopt it as their preferred solution.

Over the past decade, Ampler has experienced significant growth, now offering a comprehensive, user-centric add-in suite across PowerPoint, Excel, Word, and Outlook. This new charting module empowers users to effortlessly create professional, client-ready, and aesthetically pleasing charts in mere seconds, with the added ability to save custom layouts.

“Consultants dedicate countless hours daily to PowerPoint, constructing presentations and meticulously formatting charts. Our objective is to streamline this process, making it as effortless and enjoyable as possible, thereby freeing up valuable time for problem-solving instead of tedious graph setup.” said Sune Høj Kodahl, CEO at Ampler. “Ampler delivers the same exceptional speed and quality that consultants expect from top-tier consulting firms, but within an intuitive and cost-effective package.”

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

• Effortless Gantt chart creation, with the capability to link directly to Excel data.
• Cost-effective alternative to think-cell.
• Modern and intuitive user interface.
• Seamlessly integrated with Ampler’s existing suite of Office productivity tools.

Migrating from other add-ins, such as think-cell, is made simple; think-cell charts can be converted to Ampler charts with a single click and remain client-side editable even without Ampler installed. Ampler further supports users with comprehensive onboarding and setup assistance, alongside offering pilot programs and a free 30-day trial with full functionality.

The launch of Ampler Charts as a direct think-cell alternative represents a significant milestone for Ampler, as its suite now encompasses all essential tools for consultants, from charting and a content library to time-saving features, compliance checks, and signature management. Through this release, Ampler solidifies its position as the premier affordable, modern, and dependable management consulting add-in for Microsoft Office.
