Is SankeyMATIC still worth using?

Yes. It is free, needs no account, and its controls are on the screen. For one diagram you never revisit, it is enough.

Then what does a Pass buy?

Memory. The diagram, its theme and every previous period are saved, so next month is one paste instead of a rebuild.

Can I bring my SankeyMATIC text across?

Yes. The numbers panel reads "source [amount] target" lines as they are. Paste the whole block in.

Is there anything recurring to cancel?

No. A Pass is one payment for a fixed number of days. When it ends, your diagrams stay open, editable and re-runnable.

Comparison

A SankeyMATIC alternative that remembers the diagram.

SankeyMATIC is free, needs no account, and puts its controls on the screen. If you make one diagram and never return, use it.

This is for the other case: the same diagram, every month or quarter, with the same look. Here it is saved, and next period is one paste.

The paid tools, for reference

SankeyArt is free with a watermark and no SVG export. Removing the watermark costs $79 a month, billed a year at a time, for 1 person.

Flourish is a whole suite of graphics, most of which you do not need. Its cheapest paid option now comes bundled with Canva for Business, and Canva sets that price.

Here the most anyone pays is $99, once, for 365 days. Nothing renews and there is nothing to cancel.
