BioRender Graphing

The fast, intuitive GraphPad Prism alternative

Built for today’s scientists, BioRender Graphing takes you from raw data to publication-quality graphs in minutes. Run your analysis, create custom graphs, and move them straight into the figures you're already building in BioRender.

Why scientists are switching from GraphPad Prism

With data prep and analysis, AI-assisted editing, and real-time collaboration, BioRender Graphing removes the friction of working in Prism.

“We'd been running ANOVAs in Prism for years. When I imported those same files into BioRender Graphing, it flagged a non-parametric test as more appropriate, and it was right. That kind of built-in statistical guidance is something we didn't know we were missing.”

Stay in control of your data

BioRender is SOC 2 Type 2 certified, with encryption in transit and at rest. Your data is private by default, and access controls keep sensitive research data protected as your team grows. Learn more in BioRender’s Trust Center.

When you use BioRender AI (Beta) to customize a graph, your data remains untouched. We never read your data, change what your graph says, or train our models on what you upload.

Frequently asked questions

What is BioRender Graphing?

BioRender Graphing is a cloud-based scientific data analysis and graphing tool for life science researchers. It supports t-tests, ANOVAs, nonparametric tests, dose-response with global curve fitting and EC50/IC50 (EC/IC) calculations, and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, with automatic data formatting, outlier detection, and statistical test recommendations. Graphs are publication-quality from the start, easy to customize with BioRender AI (Beta), and sync across presentations. Access from any browser and on any device, no installation required.

Does BioRender Graphing support the same graph types and analyses I use in Prism?

BioRender Graphing supports the analyses scientists rely on most, including dose-response, standard-curve interpolation (for ELISA, qPCR, and more), t-tests, ANOVAs, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, and more, all computed in R for reproducible, citable results. For modeling relationships: simple linear regression, simple logistic regression, correlation, and nonlinear modeling of growth, decay, and dose-response. For interpolation: standard curve fitting, with calculation of unknown concentrations from linear and nonlinear regressions. For comparisons between groups: t-tests, one- and two-way ANOVAs, with nonparametric alternatives. For survival analysis: Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression. Statistical assumption checks include outlier detection (ROUT method), Shapiro-Wilk test of normality, and Levene's test of equal variances. All statistical analyses are computed in R, with full transparency on the packages and functions used, ensuring your methods are reproducible and citable.

In addition to statistical analyses, BioRender Graphing supports publication-quality graph types including bar, column, line, scatter, pie, grouped, and boxplot charts, as well as survival curves, dose-response curves, heatmaps, and well plate heatmaps. Violin plots, forest plots, and volcano plots are coming in late 2026. Review the full list of supported graph types and statistical tests.

Is BioRender’s cloud-based platform as secure as desktop-only solutions like Prism?

Yes, BioRender is SOC 2 Type 2 certified, with encryption, access controls, and continuous vulnerability monitoring that keep sensitive research data protected, even as your team grows. For more details, visit the BioRender Trust Center.

When you use BioRender AI (Beta) to customize a graph, your data remains untouched. We never read your data, change what your graph says, or train our models on what you upload.

Can I use my graphs in presentations, publications, and posters?

Yes. Graphs in Graphing match the look and feel of your other BioRender figures and can easily be added to any of your BioRender presentations or posters in high resolution. Once added to your BioRender canvas, graphs live link to PowerPoint or Google Slides.

How do I transition from Prism to BioRender Graphing?

Simply drag and drop your Prism files into Graphing. Your Prism graphs are automatically recreated in the BioRender style, with your analyses intact. Learn how to import GraphPad Prism files.

With BioRender Agentic Graphing (Beta), you can skip the learning curve for editing a graph. Instead of hunting for settings, just describe the changes you need to colors, labels, and axes.

Is BioRender Graphing included in my BioRender subscription?

BioRender Graphing is included in all plans, with one free file and up to three datasets. To get unlimited Graphing files, BioRender subscribers with a paid plan can purchase the Graphing Add-On. Individual paid plan subscribers can log in to purchase the Graphing Add-On. If you’re on a team plan, reach out to your Admin to add the Graphing Add-On to your subscription. For pricing details, visit BioRender's pricing page or contact your CSM to learn more.
