Amadine vs Linearity Curve

Amadine is vector graphics software for making and editing scalable artwork, with raster effects available in designs. It runs on Mac, iPad, and iPhone; listed requirements are macOS 11 or higher and iPadOS or iOS 15 or higher. More than 30 tools cover selection, drawing, editing, and typing, including Pen, Draw, Width, and Image Trace. Text can follow a path, sit inside a shape, or flow between linked text boxes. Effects include Shadow, Inner Shadow, Blur, Inner Glow, and Outer Glow. Amadine imports SVG, PDF, and AI vector files, plus JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and HEIC images. It exports vector artwork as SVG or PDF and other work as JPEG, TIFF, PNG, or PDF. Images can also be imported from Pexels, Pixabay, and Unsplash, with an internet connection. The free version is operational, but exporting, printing, and image tracing require a license. iPad and iPhone in-app purchases start at $2.99 a month; Mac lifetime licenses are listed at $29.99, paid once for one user and $49.99, paid once for five seats.

Linearity Curve is a design app for vector and raster artwork, with illustration tools, templates, brand kits, and presentation design. Native apps run on iPad, Mac, and iPhone; supported systems include iPadOS 14 and macOS Big Sur or later. Users can edit PDFs as Curve files, including transforming, annotating, and signing them, then export to PDF, SVG, EPS, and other print or digital formats. AI tools include background removal, AI Grab, and Magic Eraser. Core design features, local files, and exports work offline, though cloud features may be limited. Users can switch among personal, team, and client workspaces and share files across devices, but real-time collaboration is not available. The free plan includes 250 lifetime credits, one basic brand kit, and 5GB of cloud storage, with no credit card required. Paid plans start at $8 per month billed annually, and a seven-day trial is listed. Students, teachers, schools, and institutions save 58% on the yearly Pro Plan. Files are not used for AI training unless users opt in within the app.
