# Course Hero vs Math Equation Solver+

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Course Hero at 65K against Math Equation Solver+'s 83. Course Hero also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and chart position (#94 vs unranked). Math Equation Solver+'s advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Course Hero sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Math Equation Solver+ sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. 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 83, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 28% and 29% positive.

Course Hero ships an update fortnightly, Math Equation Solver+ every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
