# Photo Math Solver vs Math Scanner

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Photo Math Solver at 74% against Math Scanner's 0%. Photo Math Solver also leads on ratings volume (255 vs 16). Math Scanner's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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 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 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Photo Math Solver has 255 ratings behind it against 16, 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 0% of Math Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

- 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. 🙄
