Amadine vs SVGSketch

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.

SVGSketch is a browser-based editor for drawing and editing SVG paths, then exporting scalable vector graphics. Its path tools include anchor nodes and handles, direct editing of path data, and cubic and quadratic Bézier curves. A vectorizer traces raster images into editable SVG paths, while a keyframe timeline supports animation exports in browser-native SMIL without a JavaScript runtime. The editor imports Illustrator, EPS, and PDF files as editable vector documents. Free export formats include SVG, PNG, JPEG, WebP, ICO, and HTML; additional formats are listed for Pro. Plugins support workflows such as charts, maps, LaTeX, barcodes, flowcharts, chemistry, and music notation. Developers can use a TypeScript SDK and CLI to build, validate, render, convert, and generate code from documents. The Free plan costs nothing and includes local editing without an account, with limited cloud storage. Pro costs $9 a month and adds real-time collaboration, expanded cloud storage, document history, and priority support. When used without signing in, artwork stays in browser storage and is not uploaded to SVGSketch servers.
