Both are free to download. PicSolve sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Solve Expressions asks for nothing beyond the download.
PicSolve holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PicSolve has 7.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Solve Expressions's written reviews are positive against 39% of PicSolve's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Solve Expressions ships an update every 7 months, PicSolve every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
