Turn your parts list into a clear cutting plan. CutMatryx plans one-dimensional cuts for bars, tubes and profiles — for metalwork, woodworking and your workshop. PLAN WITH YOUR MATERIAL Enter quantities, lengths, profiles and material grades. Include existing remnants, purchase lengths, kerf and allowances. See how your parts fit across the bars and what material remains. STRAIGHT AND MITER CUTS Set start and end angles and account for your saw’s capabilities. Clear cutting diagrams help you check orientation and cutting order. FROM JOB TO WORKSHOP Organize projects and parts lists. With Pro, compare purchasing options, plan material costs, release production plans and record your progress. Material, purchasing and workshop PDFs bring the key details together. BRING IN YOUR LISTS With Pro, import CSV, Excel (.xlsx), PDF, images and scans. Export from Numbers as an Excel file first. Check recognized details before accepting them. START FOR FREE Basic includes one saved project with one parts list, up to 10 items and 50 parts. Calculation, straight cuts, miter cuts, remnants and the full PDF preview are included. UNLOCK PRO ONCE A one-time in-app purchase raises project and quantity limits and unlocks imports, saving/sharing/printing PDFs, workshop progress, and purchasing and cost planning. Technical capacity limits still apply. The current price is shown before purchase. Purchases can be restored through Apple. ON IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC Enter data and calculate locally on your device. When iCloud sync is available, your projects stay connected across the same Apple Account. Choose millimeters, centimeters, meters or inches. CutMatryx supports planning and does not control machinery. Check dimensions, materials and saw settings before production. The app optimizes linear cuts, not surfaces or sheets.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FINOpti at none against CutMatryx's 1. FINOpti also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 8 months) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.6). CutMatryx's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
