OpenTutor vs Photomath

OpenTutor is a homework helper for working through questions from a photo. Photograph a homework problem and it provides an answer with a worked solution and step-by-step explanation. Its Scan and Solve feature is described for economics, chemistry, and math, and the maker says the app works in every language. The FAQ says anyone with a smartphone and homework can use it. Downloading and using the app costs nothing; the maker also mentions an optional paid version without ads but gives no price or terms. On Android, the app listing also describes expert subject tutors, study notes, guides, Q&As, saved materials, and tailored reminders. The Android listing identifies ads and in-app purchases. Android, iOS, and web apps are listed, though the FAQ labels web as coming soon. Google Play reports that the app may collect location and financial information among other data types, encrypts data in transit, and allows deletion requests. Support options include Discord, email, and Twitter. Google Play names Coffee & Chapters - Press as the developer and identifies Wojciech Augustynowicz in its developer details.

Photomath is a mobile app for working through math problems on Android and iOS. It can scan a problem with a device camera or accept input through its smart calculator, then show a step-by-step solution. It can handle word problems as well as other math questions, and a scan may offer multiple methods to choose from. Its listed subject range spans elementary math through college math, including algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics and calculus. Interactive graphs can be zoomed and tapped for information, with definitions available in context. The free Basic plan includes step-by-step explanations; Photomath Plus adds custom visual aids and extra “how” and “why” tips, with Animated Tutorials and teacher-approved definitions also listed as Plus features. A free trial may be offered, but a subscription trial converts to paid billing unless canceled before it ends. Plus is listed at $9.99 per month or $69.99 per year. Paid Services are billed through Google Play or the iOS App Store, and use is limited to personal, non-commercial purposes.
