Photomath vs Gauth
Photomath is a maths-focused solver; Gauth (ByteDance) spans more STEM subjects in a chat model and adds live human tutors.
The verdict — For maths depth, Photomath; for broad homework help with a tutor fallback, Gauth. As with all solvers, both risk giving the answer rather than teaching it — supervise use for younger students.
Independence: Addestra builds learning products too (MathsTutor, TinkerWell). We never review or score our own, and no tool pays to be listed or to rank higher — how we assess fit.
Where Photomath wins
Photomath: cleaner, maths-specific step-by-step working from a computer-algebra engine, and a more polished photo-solve for equations specifically.
Where Gauth wins
Gauth: broader subject coverage beyond maths, a chat-style interface, and the option to escalate to a live tutor — backed by ByteDance's distribution.
