DragginMath is a new way to teach, learn, and do algebra. This app converts equations into interactive pictures. Get serious about math: turn equations into playthings! Yes, it's fun, but this is definitely not a toy. See the internal structure of equations. Then commute, associate, distribute, factor, simplify, and solve by dragging math under your fingertips. This is real algebra, not something that sort of looks like it. Not a function-graphing app. Not restricted to a few limited examples or prepared problem sets. This app can do an astonishing amount of symbolic math, but it is aimed at the algebraic novice. Do you or your students need help understanding the order of operations? Unsure what the various algebraic properties are or how to use them? Is solving an equation just some arcane mystery? DragginMath lets you see and experiment with symbolic math concepts. You still have to direct the work yourself, but without burning through erasers or reams of paper, and without needing someone to check your work. DragginMath is not curriculum. It is a tool, and it is curriculum-independent. If your textbook has expressions and equations in it, DragginMath can help you teach it, or learn it. You might even enjoy doing it. Are you a teacher? Create animated lessons just by using the app as you normally would. Add annotations and homework problems, then email them to your class within the app. Students watch your lessons, do their homework, and email it back to you within the app. Returned homework is formatted for easy management.
Beautiful Functions

Functions make sense when you can see them. Beautiful Functions turns every change in an equation into an immediate change on the graph. Move a slider, watch the curve respond, and understand what each parameter actually does - before memorizing a rule or solving an exercise. NOT JUST A GRAPHING CALCULATOR This is a visual learning environment designed to show how functions work. Watch a line cross a parabola twice, become tangent, then miss it completely. See a function reflect into its inverse. Switch the same parabola between Standard, Vertex, and Factored forms. Change amplitude, frequency, and phase, and watch every wave transform. EXPLORE WITH PURPOSE Use roots, intercepts, vertices, symmetry, extrema, inflection points, and asymptotes as visual guides instead of isolated definitions. Collapse the graph when you want to focus on an explanation, then bring it back to test your intuition. START FREE Start with Linear, Quadratic, Cubic, and Logarithmic Functions. Pro unlocks: • Linear + Quadratic • Exponential Functions • Trigonometric Functions • Function Transformations • Rational Functions • Absolute Value Functions • Inverse functions and slope relationships • Vertex and Factored form editing One-time purchase unlocks every Pro screen and feature. No subscription. Built for high school and university students, teachers, tutors, parents, and anyone who wants to understand functions instead of memorizing them. Download Beautiful Functions and see what equations mean.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Beautiful Functions at Free against DragginMath's $9.99. DragginMath's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
