CorelDRAW wins, 7.7 to 6.7
CorelDRAW is a licence you keep outright, $22.42 a month if paid yearly; Curve is free for individuals, with paid plans from $10 a month for Curve, Move and Linearity AI. CorelDRAW also opens native .ai and .eps files and works in spot colour and CMYK for print, none of which Curve does. Curve still generates artwork from a prompt and traces raster images, and CorelDRAW does both too.
Pick CorelDRAW if you want a licence you own and native Illustrator file support.
Pick Linearity Curve if you want a free plan for individuals and a lower price.
