AnswersAi
alternatives
People usually leave AnswersAi for one of two reasons: the free allowance runs out immediately, or they want the tool inside the browser rather than on a phone. These five cover both routes out.
Disclosure: Solvecoon is our own product and it is on this list. Checked August 2026.
How we judged them
- Is there a free tier that renews rather than a one-time trial?
- Does it work where your homework actually is?
- Are steps included or extra?
- How broad is the subject coverage?
- Is the screenshot policy stated?
The list
Solvecoon
OursBest for: a free tier that renews daily
Five solves every day, every day, with full working. A Chrome extension that reads the page you are on: highlight text for a four-action toolbar, or snap a region for diagrams and PDFs. Only the region you drag is uploaded, and it is discarded by default.
Watch out: No mobile app, so paper homework needs photographing into a tab first.
Gauth
Best for: phone and laptop together
iOS, Android, web, and a Chrome extension, with wide subject coverage and a large public solution library.
Watch out: Daily free cap, and solved questions feed a public library.
Question AI
Best for: PDF and photo uploads
Takes typed questions, photos, and PDFs on web and mobile across a named subject list, with step-by-step math solutions advertised.
Watch out: Free limits are not clearly stated.
Solvely
Best for: browser-based screenshot solving
Chrome and Edge extension with screenshot solving, step-by-step explanations, and a large set of standalone calculators.
Watch out: Retention policy for captures is not published on the extension page.
Wolfram Alpha
Best for: computation you can trust
A computational engine rather than a generative one, dependable across technical subjects.
Watch out: Steps are paid and the syntax takes learning.
Questions people ask
- Why do people look for an AnswersAi alternative?
- Most often the free allowance, which is advertised as the first five questions on mobile rather than an ongoing daily amount.
- Is there a free AnswersAi alternative?
- Solvecoon gives five solves a day on the free plan indefinitely. Khan Academy is free for learning the topic, though it does not answer your specific question.
- Which alternative works in the browser?
- Solvecoon and Solvely are both browser extensions. Gauth has one alongside its apps.
- Are these prices current?
- They were checked in August 2026 and this category changes fast. Confirm on the vendor's own site before subscribing.
