Chegg Study vs Course Hero

Chegg Study provides students with homework and textbook help for coursework through searchable solutions and expert Q&A. Chegg says its study library contains more than 100 million solutions and supports more than 50 subjects. Step-by-step explanations, sometimes with illustrations and definitions, address complex topics. The Chegg Study app lets users photograph an assignment to receive step-by-step solutions, and is available on Android and iOS alongside the web service. Chegg also lists writing and citation tools such as plagiarism checks, expert proofreading, grammar checks, and instant citations. Users can create an account and explore free tools before choosing a subscription. The Chegg Study plan costs $15.95 a month and includes homework solutions. Study Pack costs $19.95 a month and adds quiz and exam help, expert proofreading, plagiarism detection, and math help. Study Pack terms describe a 30-day free trial that changes to a monthly subscription unless canceled before it ends; subscribers can cancel anytime. Chegg notes that some features are unavailable for certain Q&As and some topic content is not available for all subjects.
