# Course Hero vs Homework Help, AI Math Solver

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Homework Help, AI Math Solver at 88% against Course Hero's 28%. Course Hero's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (65K vs 171). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Course Hero sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Homework Help, AI Math Solver sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 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 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Course Hero has 65K ratings behind it against 171, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Course Hero's written reviews are positive against 88% of Homework Help, AI Math Solver's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Course Hero ships an update fortnightly, Homework Help, AI Math Solver every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
