Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Course Hero at 4.7 against The Math Solver App's 3.8. Course Hero also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (65K vs 371). The Math Solver App's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 28%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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. Course Hero sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and The Math Solver App sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Course Hero holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Course Hero has 65K ratings behind it against 371, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Course Hero's written reviews are positive against 67% of The Math Solver App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Course Hero ships an update fortnightly, The Math Solver App every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
