Pedalweave plans a guitar pedalboard the way you will actually build it: to scale, on a real board, with every pedal checked against the power supply output it plugs into. LAY OUT YOUR BOARD TO SCALE - Start from 13 real Pedaltrain board sizes or enter your own measurements - Drag pedals into place; positions snap to 5 mm and pedals rotate 90° - Overlaps and pedals hanging off the edge are flagged in red - See how much of the surface you have used - Auto-arrange in signal order: the chain starts at the back right and snakes across the rows CHECK THE POWER ON EVERY OUTPUT - Add your supply: Strymon Zuma or Ojai, Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus, CIOKS DC7, Truetone 1 Spot Pro CS7, 1 Spot daisy chain, or build a custom supply - Switchable outputs keep the right current limit for each voltage (for example 9 V 500 mA, 12 V 375 mA, 18 V 250 mA) - Errors for overloaded outputs, voltage above a pedal's rating, too little voltage, AC/DC mismatch, and a supply's combined limit - Warnings for outputs above 80% of their rating, center-positive pedals that need a reversing cable, digital pedals on a daisy chain, and pedals with no power source - Auto-assign gives each unplugged pedal its own compatible output SIGNAL CHAIN AND PATCH CABLES - Drag to reorder the chain, or apply the conventional order by pedal type - Patch-cable lengths are worked out from the jack positions on your layout, rounded up to common stock lengths - A shopping list by length, the total cable for a solderless kit, and the number of plugs; stereo links count two cables GEAR AND COST - Library of popular pedals with dimensions, voltage, and current draw, plus size templates and your own custom pedals - Edit any spec to match your unit - Track prices for pedals, supplies, the board, and extras, split into owned and still to buy EXPORT AND BACKUP - PDF rig sheet with a to-scale drawing, the chain, every output with its pedals, the cable list, and costs - CSV gear list for spreadsheets and plain-text rig sheet - One backup file holds every board; importing adds boards and never deletes anything EVERYTHING INCLUDED, ONE PURCHASE No subscription, no ads, no account, no tracking, no network. Your boards stay on your device. Works on iPhone and iPad. Pedalweave compares the values you enter and does not certify electrical compatibility. Library specs are typical published figures; check your own pedals' labels or manuals and confirm voltage, polarity, and current with each manufacturer before powering up.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Avid Control at Free against Pedalweave's $3.99. Avid Control also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
