sketchometry vs Vectors and Planes
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
sketchometry
This app transforms your finger drawings into precise geometric shapes on your iPhone or iPad. It turns math into an experimental subject, encouraging learners to discover concepts through hands-on interaction rather than presenting pre-made solutions.
- Finger-to-geometry conversion
- Dynamic mathematical exploration
- Experimental learning approach
- Interactive geometric drawing
- Supports iPhone and iPad

Fascinatingly simple. Simply fascinating. sketchometry is a different kind of dynamic math software. You draw with your finger on your iPhone or iPad. sketchometry automatically converts these (finger) sketches into exact geometric objects. Mathematics becomes an experimental subject. No ready-made results are presented, learners are encouraged to go on a journey of discovery by themselves.
Vectors and Planes
This app visualizes and explains complex 3D geometry concepts, including linear and quadric structures and their intersections. It offers interactive 3D graphs and step-by-step calculation algorithms for a deeper understanding of mathematical principles.
- Visualize 3D linear structures
- Visualize 3D quadric structures
- Interactive 3D graphs
- Step-by-step calculation algorithms
- Combinations of structures
- Linear Algebra concepts

Vectors and Planes App helps visualize and understand 3D linear and quadric structures and their intersections. List of linear structures and combinations: 1. Two vector combination. 2. Plane. 3. Line and plane combination. 4. Two plane combination. 5. Three plane combination. Current list of quadric structures: 1. Two sphere combination. 2. Standard ellipsoid. 3. Ellipsoid in a form of positive-definite matrix. 4. Standard cone. 5. Cone in a form of indefinite matrix. 6. 1-sheet hyperboloid. 7. 1-sheet hyperboloid in a form of indefinite matrix. 8. 2-sheet hyperboloid. 9. 2-sheet hyperboloid in a form of indefinite matrix. 10. Standard cylinder. 11. Cylinder in a form of positive-semidefinite matrix. 12. Hyperbolic paraboloid. 13. Elliptic paraboloid. Current list of combinations of quadric and linear structures: 1. Matrix ellipsoid and line. 2. Standard ellipsoid and plane. 3. Matrix ellipsoid and plane. 4. Matrix cone and line. 5. Standard cone and plane. 6. 1-sheet hyperboloid in matrix form and line. 7. 2-sheet hyperboloid in matrix form and line. 8. Matrix cylinder and line. 9. Elliptic paraboloid and line. 10. Hyperbolic paraboloid and line. Interactive 3D graphs are provided for all of the above. Step by step calculation algorithms are provided for all intersection point sets. Many of the algorithms are based on Linear Algebra concepts. Those, in turn, are explained in our “Matrix Solver Step by Step” app. Version 10 was completely redesigned. Developers hope to get feedback from users at graphmath@aol.com.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Vectors and Planes at 100% against sketchometry's 65%. Vectors and Planes also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). sketchometry's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
sketchometry holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 11 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of sketchometry's written reviews are positive against 100% of Vectors and Planes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
sketchometry ships an update every 10 days, Vectors and Planes every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
