OneClass

The first point to consider is the quality of the online documents. Students who upload documents to OneClass have an incentive to share top-quality materials. OneClass Elite Note Takers can earn 400 percent more by producing top-quality study resources. In comparison, Course Hero doesn't offer any quality incentives to note-takers.

Chegg

Chegg offers several different learning tools and a textbook portal to rent or buy books. Learning tools are generic and are not tailored to your school or class.

Socratic

Socratic is a homework help app. It’s powered by AI rather than real people who are subject matter experts.

Brainly

Brainly is a platform for homework help where students can answer each others’ questions. While some students report the app to be helpful, others caution that there have been errors either because other students may not understand the material better than you. In some cases, student users don’t even try to answer questions correctly because they’re trying to game the system and rack up points.
