A graph (a mathematical concept) is used to describe the intricate relationships between various things in reality. Nodes represent an object, and edges represent connections between objects. Graph Editor provides a visual way to create and edit Graph based on the open source software Graphviz. Graphviz is a visual graphics tool open sourced by AT&T Research and Lucent Bell Labs, which can be easily used to draw structured graph networks and supports output in multiple formats. Graph Editor supports creating directed and undirected graphs, using dot layout. Usually Graphviz uses scripts as input, and Graph Editor can create complex and beautiful graph structures just by clicking on the screen, which is completely automaticly. You can set the color, width, and line style of nodes and edges, and you can also group some nodes into a subgraph. Graph Editor performs various operations on Graph directly in memory, and users do not have to worry about the calculation time of complex graphs. Graph Editor supports exporting the created Graph to PNG, JPG, PDF, and SVG files, and will support more export types in the future. #More graph concepts In mathematics, a graph is a structure described by a set of objects, some pairs of which are "related" in some sense. These objects correspond to mathematical abstractions called vertices (also called nodes or points), and each related pair of vertices is called an edge (also called a link or line). Typically, graphs are graphically depicted as a set of points or rings of vertices, connected by lines or curves of edges. Graph is one of the research objects of discrete mathematics.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Adobe XD at 4.7 against Graph Editor's 2.8. Adobe XD also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (11K vs 4). Graph Editor's advantage is review sentiment (82% vs 40%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Adobe XD holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Adobe XD has 11K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Adobe XD's written reviews are positive against 82% of Graph Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Adobe XD ships an update every 5 weeks, Graph Editor every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
