Questions before you turn toward the light? Here are the ones we hear most. Still curious? Reach out — we're here to help.
Is Sunflower free?
Yes. Browsing the data, the charts, and the core learning tools is free — no account required. We believe the same facts should be reachable by everyone, not just people who can pay.
Where does the data come from?
Verified sources only: Eurostat, ISTAT, municipal and government records, and independent data journalists and think tanks. Every chart traces back to a public, checkable source — nothing is generated or guessed.
Why charts instead of raw datasets?
Because open data that nobody can read isn't really open. Sunflower turns public tables and files into visuals anyone can understand in seconds — no spreadsheet skills required.
