Neither of them. They achievements were very useful but are not directly comparable because they are in different areas of study.
Pythagoras contribution to geometry was the Pythagorean theorem, which states the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides of the triangle.

Plato's contribution to geometry was talking about how geometrical diagrams were imperfect imitations of the perfect mathematical objects that they represent. He felt that mathematics provided the perfect training for the mind.
