DeTeXt vs GraphMath
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
DeTeXt
Easily find LaTeX commands for symbols by drawing them or searching a comprehensive database. Get the exact command you need for your documents without memorization.
- Draw symbols to find LaTeX commands
- Neural image classification for symbol recognition
- Searchable database of 1098 symbols
- Supports Apple Pencil on iPad
- Copy commands, symbols, or Unicode codepoints
- Offline symbol database

Finding the symbol you want to use in LaTeX can be hard since you can't memorize all the commands and packages for every symbol. DeTeXt tries to solve this problem by giving you two ways to find the command you want: - Draw the symbol you want and DeTeXt's neural image classification engine will identify what it thinks are the 20 most likely LaTeX commands that will generate a symbol closest to the one you drew. DeTeXt supports Apple Pencil drawings on the iPad. - Search the entire symbol set of 1098 symbols from packages like tipa, amsmath, amssymb, textcomp and more, in addition to the default mathematical symbols. - Copy the symbol, or the character itself, or its Unicode codepoint to the system clipboard, to paste anywhere else. DeTeXt's neural engine processes your drawn symbol and finds the best matches in its symbol database, all on your device without requiring you to be online. All the symbols are stored within the app as well.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: GraphMath at free against DeTeXt's paid. GraphMath also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). DeTeXt's advantage is ratings volume (40 vs 12). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for DeTeXt against 5.0 for GraphMath. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 40 and 12 respectively. Written reviews are what separate them: 92% of DeTeXt's written reviews are positive against 100% of GraphMath's.
DeTeXt ships an update every 2 months, GraphMath fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
