Question AI
Question.AI is an AI homework helper that solves math, science and language problems with step-by-step working. Accurate on standard schoolwork, but the free plan is a demo and the trial auto-renews at $14.99 a month.
An accurate, easy homework solver that explains its steps well, wrapped in a free plan that gives you almost nothing and a trial that rolls into $14.99 a month.
Should you use Question.AI?
Students on standard homework in math, science and language arts who want a correct answer with the working shown, and will pay for it.
You expect a usable free tier , or you need real multilingual translation or reliable work on complex, multi-step problems.
The free plan is a demo. Real use starts at a $0.59 three-day trial that auto-renews at $14.99 a month unless you cancel first.
The card is charged by a different company name than the site, and some users report charges they say they never signed up for.
Key features & how they perform
Each feature rated from hands-on testing blended with aggregated review sentiment.
Answer accuracy
Independent testing puts math around 85% and language arts in the low 80s. Strong on standard school work, shakier past multi-step reasoning.
Step-by-step working
Answers arrive as numbered steps, the most-praised part in reviews. Depth is inconsistent, sometimes thorough, sometimes rushed.
Subject coverage
Ten-plus subjects plus AI Writing, Search and Translate modes. The breadth is real, even if not every mode is equally strong.
Photo & screenshot solve
Scan a problem by image or screen grab. Handwriting recognition is unreliable and the upload sits behind the paywall on free.
Translate mode
Billed as "multilingual," but the dropdown holds three languages: English, Spanish and French. Free tools cover a hundred or more.
Math rendering
The one feature marked free, the calculator, still pushed an upgrade, and typed math came back as raw code instead of clean fractions.
Feature ratings blended from hands-on testing plus App Store, Trustpilot and competitor hands-on reviews.
One correct answer, then a paywall on nearly every click
From a clean home screen to a blocked calculator, tracing where the free plan stops and the upgrade nag starts.
First look at the tools on offer
The home screen sets big expectations. Across the top I counted ten subjects plus four modes: solve all-subject homework, AI Writing, AI Search and Translate.
The input box sits right there with icons for both image upload and a calculator, so it reads like a full study suite the moment you land.
Testing basic math: right answer, broken display
My first test was a simple algebra problem. I wanted two things at once: whether the answer is correct, and whether the working is clear enough for a student to follow.
"Solve for x: 3x + 7 = 22. Show each step."
The math itself was spot on. It subtracted 7 from both sides, then divided by 3 to land on x = 5, with the logic laid out in numbered steps.
The free plan falls apart fast
The algebra answer went through while I was logged out, which felt promising. Then I clicked "Explain it" for a deeper breakdown, and that single click forced a login. After I logged in, the upgrade popup took over and refused to let go.
From there, the same Plus popup appeared on nearly everything. Asking a second question triggered it. Clicking Explain triggered it. The tool had given me one free answer, then shut the door.
Even the "free" calculator pushed me to pay
So I went straight to the one thing the table promised was free. I opened the calculator and entered a clean fraction problem with a known answer of 5/6.
Input methods look flexible, until you try them
Question.AI accepts a question in a few forms. You can type or paste text, drag or upload an image, and there is a dedicated Screenshot button for grabbing part of your screen.
"Multilingual" translation means three languages
The home screen describes the Translate mode as "multilingual accurate translations." I opened the language dropdown expecting a long list.

Who Should Use Question.AI, and Who Should Avoid It?
Question.AI is an accurate, easy solver for standard schoolwork, as long as you accept that the real product is the paid one and you watch the trial-to-subscription billing.
Who Should Use Question.AI?
Best suited for these workflows
Students on Standard Homework
Math, science and language arts at school level are where accuracy is strongest, around the mid-80s, with the working shown step by step.
Anyone Who Learns From the Steps
The numbered explanations are the most praised part, useful if you want to understand the method rather than just copy a final answer.
Phone-First Snappers
Photographing a problem and getting a fast answer across ten-plus subjects is where the app feels quickest, once you are on a paid plan.
Budget Annual Subscribers
Paid yearly, it works out around five dollars a month, cheap for a student who will actually use it most days of a term.
Who Should Avoid Question.AI?
Consider an alternative if you need
Anyone Expecting a Real Free Tool
The free plan gives roughly one answer before a login and upgrade wall, and even the calculator it lists as free pushed an upgrade.
Students on Complex, Multi-Step Work
Accuracy slips to around 65% on layered problems, and users report the app changing its answer when it is questioned.
Language Learners
The "multilingual" Translate mode covers three languages. For anything beyond English, Spanish and French, a free translator does more.
Anyone Wary of Subscription Traps
A 59-cent trial auto-renews at $14.99, the biller name differs from the site, and some users report charges they say they never started.
Our Recommendation
Question.AI earns its place for students who need correct, well-explained answers on standard homework and are willing to pay for them. The accuracy and the step-by-step working are genuinely good. The free plan is a demo, not a tool, so judge it on the paid experience. Before you subscribe, start the trial only if you can set a reminder to cancel, double-check answers on anything advanced, and confirm the current price on your own app store.

A capable homework solver with a free plan built to make you pay
Strip away the first impression and Question.AI does the core job well. Independent testing and user reviews put math accuracy in the mid-80s, the step-by-step working is the thing students praise most, and the interface is fast and simple across ten-plus subjects. Paid yearly, it is cheap. The trouble is everything around that core. The free plan hands you roughly one answer before a login and upgrade wall, the calculator it advertises as free still pushed me to pay, typed math rendered as raw code, and "multilingual" translation turned out to be three languages. The billing deserves the most caution: a 59-cent trial auto-renews at $14.99 a month, the charge comes from a different company name than the site, and some users report being billed for subscriptions they say they never started. If you are a student who will pay for a solver and set a cancel reminder, it is a genuinely useful one, so treat the free tier as a demo and judge it on the paid plan. If you want a tool that is actually usable for free, or you work on complex, multi-step problems, you will be better served elsewhere.
