Solvely vs StudyBru

Solvely is an AI study tool for homework, studying, exams, and class notes, available on web, iOS, Android, and as a browser extension. Its homework solver accepts photos, PDFs, and typed questions, then provides step-by-step solutions across subjects and checks answers with multiple AI models. Students can upload notes and past exams to identify likely topics and create mock exams, cheat sheets, and review plans. Slides, PDFs, and YouTube links can become topic breakdowns, study guides, flashcards, and adaptive quizzes. Live lecture recording produces searchable transcripts, AI-generated notes, and study sets. Solvely also offers video and visual explanations, including for 3D geometry, calculus graphs, and physics simulations. The mobile app scans math, physics, and chemistry problems; its Chrome extension captures question screenshots and works on Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, Google Classroom, and other sites. A free plan and free trial are listed. Unlimited plans include $4.83 a year billed $57.99/year, $8.99 a month, or $11.66 a month billed $34.99 every three months. Some extension features or higher usage limits may depend on the account or plan.
