Linearity Curve vs SVGSketch

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.

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.
