Platform information checked 2026-10-28. README supports GNOME/Linux and OpenGL 3.3+, with Flathub and documented distribution/source routes. No Windows/macOS package was established.
Plot mathematical functions, polar equations and implicit curves locally in a GNOME application.
Free local function plotter
The GPL-3.0-or-later application has no required software subscription. You supply compatible hardware; its README requires OpenGL 3.3 or newer. It covers local mathematical plots, not WolframAlpha’s entire knowledge service, symbolic computation or guided-solution features. WolframAlpha has basic free use and separate Pro capabilities.

About Plots
Plot mathematical functions, polar equations and implicit curves locally in a GNOME application. Visit the project website to check the currently available deployment options.
Release status
Provider downloads or installation route reviewed; AltStack did not install or execute the application.
Install on your computer · Instructions checked 2026-10-28
Open the official README and select its Linux/GNOME Flathub or documented distribution-installation route.
Confirm that the graphics environment supports the provider’s OpenGL 3.3-or-newer requirement.
Enter a small mathematical expression and inspect the corresponding curve before building a larger collection of plots.
Check the plotted result against an independently known case. Local graphing does not establish parity with a symbolic computation or guided-answer service.
GNOME/Linux graphing application with a graphics requirement; no WolframAlpha query compatibility, knowledge database or universal symbolic solver is promised. These are provider-documented starting steps; AltStack did not install or execute the application.

Devices / hardware
README supports GNOME/Linux and OpenGL 3.3+, with Flathub and documented distribution/source routes. No Windows/macOS package was established. Hardware, storage and backups are supplied by you; no universal RAM minimum was verified.
No one-line command has been verified for Plots; follow its official installation instructions instead of guessing a Docker image or installer.
Text-based diagramming that renders in code and docs.
The Mermaid renderer source is MIT-licensed with installation and integration instructions. You can render diagrams in your own app without a source-license subscription. Mermaid Chart's limited hosted plans and AI capabilities are separate offerings, not included in this renderer price.
Free Cloud tier · Pro from USD 19/month plus usage
Unified observability for metrics, logs, traces, and more.
Grafana Cloud Free costs USD 0 with service-specific usage limits. Pro starts at USD 19/month plus usage; Enterprise starts at USD 25,000/year spend commitment. AGPL self-hosted Grafana uses your infrastructure and does not include unlimited cloud telemetry or enterprise features.
Self-serve data exploration and dashboard builder.
The Apache Superset repository edition is available under Apache-2.0 with documented installation or build instructions and no required source-license subscription. Your server, storage, backups and administration remain your costs. This check covers that source edition; managed services, premium extensions and commercial relicensing, if offered, are not included or price-verified.
Unlock data insights with powerful, user-friendly analytics.
Official pricing lists Open Source free with unlimited users; cloud Starter is $100/month with first 5 users and additional per-user charges. README says AGPL OSS and separately licensed commercial code coexist in this repository.
Design database diagrams and generate SQL scripts instantly.
Provider explicitly says the full AGPL database editor runs free in the browser without an account, storing diagrams locally. Pro adds cloud sync, teams and collaboration. Paid plan amounts could not load in the collected page and remain unverified; local storage needs backups and optional AI/cloud services have separate terms.
The Redash repository edition is available under BSD with documented installation or build instructions and no required source-license subscription. Build/setup work, your device or compute and storage remain your costs. This check covers that source edition; managed services, premium extensions and commercial relicensing, if offered, are not included or price-verified.
