Mathway review

Mathway has been a dedicated math solver for more than 20 years and is owned by Chegg. It covers 11 subjects: Basic Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Trigonometry, Precalculus, Calculus, Statistics, Finite Math, Linear Algebra, Chemistry and Physics, so a student taking several STEM classes can check all of them in one place. Problems can be typed or uploaded as a photo of handwritten or printed work, and choosing a subject first tells Mathway which solving method to use. Mathway says the site is free to use with step-by-step solutions and no sign-up, and an optional subscription opens the full experience. It also lists 59+ free calculators for equations, factoring, derivatives and statistics, and Chegg reports more than 5 billion problems solved. We could not find a public USD price, so check the Upgrade screen. Compared with Symbolab, it lacks a tool for checking your own answer. We compared documented features and published prices.
