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
Vector3D and Plott are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters ā price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them ā neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
