Stork's verdict on UpStudy

UpStudy makes photographed homework easier to unpack with step-by-step solutions, but live-tutor help sits behind Premium.

overview

What UpStudy does

UpStudy takes a photo of a question and returns a step-by-step solution. Its math solver covers pre-algebra, algebra, pre-calculus, calculus, trigonometry, geometry, statistics and matrices, and its question bank spans physics, chemistry, biology, history, economics, English, engineering and more. Around the solver sit a general AI chat, PDF Chat, Browsing Chat, an "Ask Real Tutor" option, a quiz maker, SAT, AP and ACT practice, and a set of calculators (percentage, slope, standard deviation, RREF and others).

UpStudy is available on the web, as iOS and Android apps and as a Chrome extension. The app was previously called CameraMath: its Google Play package is still com.crazylab.cameramath. The terms say the service is provided by Crazysloth Pte. Ltd., which is also the developer on both app stores. UpStudy does not say which AI models power its answers.

Who UpStudy is best for

UpStudy suits students who want a photo solver plus occasional human tutor help at a low yearly price: billed yearly it works out to about $40 a year. The Chrome extension is handy for questions on web-based homework platforms.

If you want the largest free tier across subjects, Gauth is a closer match. If you want a math tutor that explains through hints and video rather than answers, Mathos AI or Khanmigo fit better.
