ggVennDiagram alternatives

The best ggVennDiagram alternatives in developer tools, ranked by Sparkpulse's velocity_score.

Updated Aug 20, 2026

Looking for the best alternatives to ggVennDiagram? Sparkpulse tracks and ranks 12 alternatives in developer tools by shipping velocity — how frequently each ships meaningful updates, verified from official changelogs. For reference, ggVennDiagram shipped 0 meaningful updates in the last 30 days and carries a velocity score of 0.0 out of 10 in 2026. The alternatives below are ranked the same way, so you're comparing real release momentum, not marketing claims.

About ggVennDiagram

A Venn diagram package whose public release notes say almost nothing — including about its copyright cleanup.

ggVennDiagram draws Venn diagrams as ggplot2 objects. The visible release feed is thin and irregular: three entries between 2021 and 2024, two of which contain nothing but a pointer to NEWS. Only the most recent, V1.5, describes actual changes, and both of them are legal housekeeping rather than features.
