Cymath is a plain, fast solver that handles the problems a typical algebra or calculus class assigns: its own examples include solving a linear equation, factoring a quadratic and integrating a power of cosine. The free solver shows step-by-step answers on the web and in iOS and Android apps. Cymath Plus costs $5 a month, can be canceled anytime and adds what matters most for checking homework: detailed sub-steps on how each step is done and an explanation of why it is taken, both available for most problems. Plus also removes ads, keeps a history and bookmarks of past solutions, and links each rule to definitions and examples. Cymath says it relies mainly on Plus members to fund its operation. The limits are scope and depth: there is no AI chat, no tutor and fewer subjects than Mathway or Wolfram|Alpha. We compared documented features and published prices.
