Overview

The service covers Math, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science, and History. It is designed for students, study groups, and test preparation, with step-by-step work presented in a handwritten format. That presentation can help make a solution easier to follow, but the central value is seeing the working, not merely receiving an answer.

On the web, typed input is limited to 350 characters, with image attachment as another route for longer or visual problems. Users can choose detailed or summary output, three paper types, and square output at 1024, 2048, or 4096 resolution. These controls give room to tailor a result, while the shorter text cap may be restrictive for lengthy prompts.

Key features

Handwriting cloning uses a photo of one page of the user's writing. Each account gets one free try, while paid plans include unlimited cloning. The four standard handwriting styles and custom style controls—ink bleed, pressure, paper texture, and messiness—make the visual output more adaptable than a fixed template. That is useful for presentation, though it matters less to readers who only need a concise explanation.

Grader Mode provides red-ink corrections, detailed feedback, and step-by-step error analysis, making the service more than a generator of worked answers. Batch Processing handles 10 or more problems at once through a multi-threaded solution engine, a practical option for a worksheet or group study session. Both are included in the paid tiers described.

Exports include PNG and PDF, clipboard copying, printing, and shareable links. PDF Export and Public Links are active; Notion is export-ready, while Canvas LMS and Google Classroom are coming soon. The Smart Engine claims 99.9% accuracy for math, physics, and chemistry, but that claim should not replace checking solutions, especially when learning depends on understanding each step.

The iOS app lists voice input, camera upload, offline mode, and cloud sync. Those mobile features suit solving away from a desk, while the web app's detailed controls are useful when presentation settings matter.

Pricing

Free forever costs 0.00 USD per free, with billing resetting monthly. It allows 3 generations/month, with referral +3 generations; explanations and practice problems are always free. This is enough to sample the generation workflow, not to rely on it as a daily solver.

Weekly Pass costs 2.99 USD per once, billed one week. It includes all Starter features for one week, has no monthly commitment, and can be canceled anytime. It is the lowest-cost way to access the paid feature set briefly, but it is a short pass rather than an ongoing monthly plan.

Starter costs 7.00 USD per month and includes 10 generations/month, 1K resolution, 2 handwriting styles, 50 history items, and 20 saved problems. It also includes grader mode, PDF export, batch upload, and priority processing. This is the clearest fit for occasional use, though the quota and resolution are the lowest among the monthly tiers.

Standard costs 25.00 USD per month. Its 50 generations/month, up to 2K resolution, all 4 handwriting styles, 200 history items, and 100 saved problems suit heavier study use. It retains the same listed grader, export, batch, and priority features as Starter, so its added value is chiefly capacity and output options.

Pro costs 45.00 USD per month and raises the allowance to 100 generations/month, 4K Ultra-HD resolution, 500 history items, and 500 saved problems, with all 4 styles and the same paid features. It is for frequent users who need the largest stated quota or highest resolution; those who do not need that capacity may find Standard more proportionate.

Platforms

ShowYourWork is available on Android, iOS, and the web. The listed iOS app features include voice and camera input, offline mode, and cloud sync; those capabilities are specifically stated for iOS.

Who it's for

Students preparing for tests, study groups working through multiple questions, and learners who benefit from visible step-by-step solutions are the strongest fit. Image input helps with photographed problems, while batch processing and shareable outputs serve group or worksheet workflows. It is a weaker fit for someone who needs many free generations each month or does not care about handwritten presentation.

Pros and cons

Multiple ways to submit problems: typed text, photos, and URLs accommodate different question formats, though web text entry stops at 350 characters.
Presentation is configurable: handwriting, paper, detail level, and resolution choices help tailor a solution, but the higher resolution and larger monthly allowances require more expensive plans.
Useful review and sharing tools: grader feedback, batch processing, PDF/PNG export, and public links support practice beyond a single answer, with some classroom integrations still coming soon.
Small free quota: three generations per month makes the free tier a sampler rather than a dependable study allowance.
Paid tiers scale sharply in price: the move from 7.00 USD per month Starter to 25.00 USD per month Standard is worthwhile mainly for readers who need substantially more generations, saved problems, or resolution.

Alternatives

Choose AskSia instead if daily problem solves, step-by-step solutions, and photo input on its free plan are a better fit; it also spans Android, iOS, web, desktop, and browser extension platforms.

Mathway is another freemium solver with free access to its solver and calculators and step-by-step solutions; an optional subscription unlocks additional access.

Choose Cymath for a focused math alternative with free step-by-step solutions, or Cymath Plus at 5.00 USD per month for ad-free use and detailed sub-steps on most problems.

Photomath offers a free Basic plan with step-by-step explanations, while custom visual aids and extra how-and-why tips are excluded from that tier.

Sovi.AI is a freemium alternative available on Android, iOS, and web.

OpenTutor is a free-to-download and use alternative on Android, iOS, and web.

Choose Kedovo AI if its Learner plan's 5 practice questions per chapter and AI chat tutor allowance of 10 per day suit your needs; it is web-only.

SnapSolve is an Android alternative with a free plan offering 20 solves per day and photo, text, and voice input.

Verdict

ShowYourWork is a good choice for students who want flexible problem input, handwritten-style working, and tools for reviewing or sharing solutions. Its paid plans make the most sense when batch processing, grader feedback, or higher monthly volume will be used regularly. Look elsewhere if a small free generation allowance is a deal-breaker or if handwritten output is not worth paying extra for.
