Best AI homework
solvers in 2026
Every tool here will answer a homework question. They differ on the part that actually decides whether you keep using one: how the question gets in, whether the working comes out, and how quickly the free tier runs out.
Disclosure: Solvecoon is our own product and it is on this list. Checked August 2026.
How we judged them
- How the question gets in: typed, photographed, uploaded, or read off the screen.
- Whether the working is shown by default, not as a paid extra.
- What the free tier actually gives you, and whether it renews.
- How broad the subject coverage is beyond math.
- What the tool says about exams and graded work.
The list
Solvecoon
OursBest for: questions that are already open in a browser tab
A Chrome extension rather than a destination. Highlight text and a four-action toolbar appears, or press Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + S and drag a box around a diagram, a PDF, or a scanned worksheet. Every answer comes back as the question restated, the answer, then numbered steps. Five solves a day are free and reset daily.
Watch out: No mobile app. If your homework is on paper, a phone camera app will serve you better than a browser extension.
Gauth
Best for: one tool across phone and laptop
A large multi-platform homework app with iOS and Android apps, a web product, and a Chrome extension, spanning a wide subject range and backed by a very large library of published solutions.
Watch out: Free questions are capped per day, and solved questions feed a public library, which is a different privacy posture from a private history.
Question AI
Best for: starting from a file
Takes typed questions, photos, and PDF uploads on web and mobile, across math, biology, history, social science, English, and business, with step-by-step solutions advertised for math.
Watch out: Free tier limits are not clearly stated up front, so plan to check before relying on it.
AnswersAi
Best for: photographing paper homework
A screenshot-and-photo answering tool with a Chrome extension and mobile apps, with detailed explanations rather than bare answers, and an annual plan that is cheap relative to the category.
Watch out: The advertised free allowance is five questions on the mobile app, so it is a trial rather than an ongoing free tier.
Solvely
Best for: a homework toolkit with calculators
A Chrome and Edge extension that solves from a screenshot, backed by a large set of standalone solvers and calculators for math, chemistry, statistics, and finance.
Watch out: Positioned tightly around schoolwork, so it is less useful for the rest of your browsing.
Wolfram Alpha
Best for: computation you need to be right
A computational engine rather than a chatbot. Where it has a method, the result is dependable, and it covers a very large range of technical domains.
Watch out: Step-by-step solutions sit behind a subscription, and you have to type problems in its syntax, which is the slow part.
Questions people ask
- Which one is free?
- All of them have some free access, but the shape differs. Solvecoon gives five solves every day that reset. Several others give a fixed number of questions once, which is a trial rather than a free tier.
- Which is best for showing working?
- Anything that separates the answer from the steps. Solvecoon does it by default in every subject; Wolfram Alpha has excellent steps but puts them behind a subscription.
- Can any of these be used in an exam?
- Not under our policy, and not under most schools'. Solvecoon excludes exams, graded quizzes, and proctored tests in its acceptable use policy.
- How often is this list updated?
- It was checked in August 2026. Pricing and limits in this category change frequently, so verify on the vendor's own site before subscribing.
