I've been using Maxima since my undergraduate (over 10 years), now with Ubuntu20.04 lts, I become a newbie of SageMath. For a small project (both symbolical and numerical), in particular, student lab activities, Maxima has been a powerful tool for analyzing and visualizing data. (The Android version is also fantastic, but the poor keyboard.)
Mathematica is always enemy/friend. (My coworkers are all Mathematica speakers.)
Based on our record, Maxima should be more popular than Photomath. It has been mentiond 27 times since March 2021.

Photomath - Step-by-step explanations help you master math from arithmetic to calculus to continue building on your skills. Claims to be your study buddy from second grade to senior year! Source: 11 months ago
That said, depending on what capabilities you are looking for exactly, you'll find a number of possible alternatives—if you want math solvers, for example, you could look at Open Omnia, Symbolab, Photomath, or MS Math Solver... Just don't expect to find a ton of open source options. Source: 12 months ago
Why waste time typing in an equation when you can use Potomath. Source: over 1 year ago
According to their site Photomath scans the equation, or it can be manually entered in their calculator function; and then demonstrates how to solve it as part of the programs function/service. This isn’t done locally and that why it needs internet. You’re not connecting for the answer, you’re connecting to get the answer and show how it’s solved. Source: about 2 years ago
Photomath Never used one of these as they didn’t exist when I was younger but lots of websites and apps that will help with this kind of thing. Good luck!! Source: over 2 years ago
I think the really neat piece of software behind this is maxima (https://maxima.sourceforge.io/), a rather influential computer algebra system of ancient lineage still in use today in more place than you might think. - Source: Hacker News / 21 days ago
In the maxima computer algebra system[1] which was ancestrally based on lisp it has a single quote operator[2] which delays evaluation of something and a "double quote" (which acually two single quotes rather than an actual double quote) operator[3] which asks maxima to evaluate some expression immediately rather than leaving it in symbolic form.[4] [1] https://maxima.sourceforge.io/ [2]... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
