# PhotoMath Solver AI vs Math Scanner

PhotoMath Solver AI and Math Scanner both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 55% of PhotoMath Solver AI's written reviews are positive against 0% of Math Scanner's. PhotoMath Solver AI also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 16). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PhotoMath Solver AI sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per 7 days and Math Scanner sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Math Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PhotoMath Solver AI has 13K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of PhotoMath Solver AI's written reviews are positive against 0% of Math Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
