Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SwipeMath AI at 5.0 against Photo Math Solver's 4.3. SwipeMath AI also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Photo Math Solver's advantage is ratings volume (255 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Photo Math Solver sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and SwipeMath AI sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SwipeMath AI holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Photo Math Solver has 255 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Photo Math Solver's written reviews are positive against 67% of SwipeMath AI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.

  • Glitchy
  • It a good math ai but when accessing the camera it freezes. How do I resolve the issue
  • Terrible
  • Keeps crashing
  • It's so manipulative. It told me I needed a credit to scan a math problem, and I could get a credit by watching an ad. After 1 watched one ad, it said I needed to watch 3. Fine. I watched 3. Then 6. Then 7. No word of a lie. Deleting. Don't waste your time. Also the ads are ads for gaming apps. Not helpful for students. 🙄
