AI Homework Helpers
As of , EffectHub tracks 10 AI tools for homework help; 9 of the 10 have a free tier, and paid plans run from $4.50 to $20 a month.
StudyX, TutorGPT and Learnrithm AI lead the list on click-through.
AI homework helpers come in three kinds: photo solvers that read a math problem and show the steps, conversational tutors that explain a topic and quiz you on it, and writing helpers that outline and edit essays. The useful ones show their working; the ones that only hand over an answer are the ones that leave you unable to do the next problem on your own. For anything with numbers, check the answer — language models still make arithmetic mistakes.

Compare homework help tools head-to-head
How to choose a homework help tool
- Prefer tools that show every step and let you ask why, over tools that return a final answer.
- Check the free tier's cap: many helpers allow a handful of solves or questions a day before asking for a subscription.
- Verify answers on anything graded. Rework the last step yourself, or check a math result with a second solver.
- Read your school's academic-integrity policy. Explaining a concept is usually fine; submitting generated text as your own usually is not.
- For younger students, check the age limit and what the app collects — most accounts require a parent for users under 13.
Questions about homework help tools
Is there a free homework help tool?
Yes. 1 of the 10 AI tools for homework help on EffectHub's list is free to use — Monster Quest AI Tutor; 8 more have a free tier with paid upgrades.
How much do homework help tools cost?
As of October 27, 2026, paid plans for the 10 AI tools for homework help on EffectHub's list run from $4.50 to $20 a month. Each card shows the pricing model and the cheapest paid plan as EffectHub last verified it; 9 of the 10 can be started for free.
Which homework help tools have an API?
EffectHub has not confirmed a public API for any of the 10 AI tools for homework help on its list — check each vendor's developer docs before you plan an integration.
Do AI homework apps give correct answers?
Usually, but not always. Step-by-step math solvers built on symbolic engines are reliable for standard problems; chat-based tutors built on language models can make arithmetic and reasoning errors while sounding certain. Treat an answer as a worked example to check, not as a final result to copy.
Is using an AI homework helper cheating?
It depends on how it is used and on your school's policy. Using a tool to understand a method, check your work or get unstuck is generally treated like a tutor; submitting generated answers or essays as your own work is generally treated as misconduct. When in doubt, ask the teacher before the assignment is due.
