Cymath vs ShowYourWork

Cymath solves math problems step by step using artificial intelligence and heuristics, with coverage of algebra, calculus and graphing on Android, iOS and the web. Algebra topics include equation solving, factoring, logarithms, exponents, complex numbers, quadratic equations, trigonometry, partial fraction decomposition and polynomial division. Calculus includes product, quotient and chain rules, along with u-substitution, integration by parts and trigonometric substitution. Graphing features can generate graphs and identify intercepts, asymptotes, domains and ranges. The website also offers practice problems in pre-algebra, fractions, algebra and calculus, with full solutions and steps. On iOS, a user can capture a problem with the camera instead of typing it. The free plan provides step-by-step solutions. Cymath Plus costs $5 a month and adds ad-free use, detailed sub-steps and explanations on most problems, bookmarks, solution history, definitions and examples; cancellation is available at any time.

ShowYourWork turns typed, photographed, or URL problems into handwritten-style solutions with step-by-step work. It covers Math, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science, and History, and is presented for studying, group work, and test preparation. On the web, users can attach images, enter up to 350 characters, choose among four handwriting styles or try a custom style, select one of three paper types, and set detailed or summary output at 1024, 2048, or 4096 square resolution. A photo of one page can be used to clone handwriting; each account gets one free attempt, with unlimited cloning on paid plans. Solutions can be exported as PNG or PDF, copied, printed, or shared by link. Batch processing handles 10 or more problems at once, and Grader Mode provides red-ink corrections and error analysis. The free plan is free and resets monthly, allowing three generations per month. The Weekly Pass is $2.99, paid once for one week; monthly plans are 7.00 USD, 25.00 USD, and 45.00 USD. It is listed for Android, iOS, and web.
