The math tutor that teaches — not just answers. Chalk draws every step on a real whiteboard in human handwriting, explains its thinking out loud, and hands you the next step to try — like a great tutor at the board. Write a problem with Apple Pencil, type it, or scan it, and work through it together. WATCH IT DRAW Every step appears on the board stroke by stroke — equations, graphs, diagrams — in real handwriting, never a wall of text. HEAR IT THINK Chalk talks you through each move in a natural voice, so you follow the reasoning, not just the result. IT CATCHES YOUR MISTAKES Write your own work on the board and Chalk checks it live, underlines the exact step that went wrong, and shows you why. IT TEACHES, AND IT ANSWERS WHEN YOU ASK Chalk works the problem with you a step at a time, shows the reasoning on the board, and lets you try the next one yourself so it sticks for the test. Ask for the answer outright and you get it, with every step shown. EVERY COURSE, ONE TUTOR Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Linear Algebra, Statistics and more — with lessons that adapt to your pace and progress tracking that shows your mastery climb. MADE FOR iPHONE AND iPAD Full whiteboard with Apple Pencil support on iPad, and a beautiful board built for one hand on iPhone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MyScript Math at 4.5 against Chalk's 3.6. MyScript Math also leads on ratings volume (80 vs 5). Chalk's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 25%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. MyScript Math sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Chalk sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
MyScript Math holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyScript Math has 80 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of MyScript Math's written reviews are positive against 33% of Chalk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MyScript Math ships an update every 8 days, Chalk every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
