Beautiful Functions
Read full descriptionHide full description
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.
Plott

Plott is a fast, native graphing calculator for 2D and 3D ā a desktop-class grapher rebuilt for touch. Plot a function, a family of curves, a polar rose or a glowing 3D surface, then pan, zoom and orbit at a silky 120fps. Everything works offline, with no account and no sign-in. Type one line and Plott works out the rest ā explicit y = f(x), polar, parametric, implicit, inequalities and vectors, all classified as you type. ā GRAPH ANYTHING ā ⢠Functions, piecewise, polar, parametric and complex curves ⢠Implicit equations and shaded inequalities ⢠Families: sweep a whole set of curves from a single line ⢠Data tables, scatter points and best-fit regression ⢠3D surfaces z = f(x, y), parametric surfaces, space curves and knots ⢠Vector fields, slope fields, differential equations and attractors ⢠Contour lines and level-curve heat maps ā MATH, BUILT IN ā ⢠Sliders: drag a parameter and watch every curve update live ⢠Calculus: derivatives, tangents, integrals and area under a curve ⢠Evaluate limits, sums, products, matrices and determinants ⢠Points of interest: tap to snap to roots, intercepts, extrema and intersections ⢠Trace any curve for a live coordinate readout ā TRUE 3D ā ⢠Real surfaces you can orbit to any angle ā free rotation, no gimbal lock ⢠Pinch to zoom, drag to pan, tap to read a point in space ⢠Isometric, top and front view presets ⢠Smooth at 60/120fps and fully offline ā MADE FOR PHONE & TABLET ā ⢠A calm, high-contrast drafting studio in two themes: a luminous blueprint dark and a warm vellum light ⢠On tablet, a desktop-class side rail edits every object at once ⢠A purpose-built math keyboard with templates for every curve type ⢠Apple Pencil and hardware-keyboard friendly ā YOURS, ALWAYS ā ⢠Unlimited undo/redo, autosave and session restore ⢠Export to PNG or PDF, or share a sheet as a file ⢠A gallery of first-party examples to learn from Plott is made for students, teachers, engineers and the mathematically curious ā precalculus and calculus, algebra and geometry, statistics and beyond. Replace a clunky handheld and a pile of apps with one beautiful grapher. Graph beautifully. Download Plott.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Plott at 15.0 against Beautiful Functions's 17.6. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
