Mathos AI is a math solver that tries to act like a tutor. You can ask it for a single nudge or the full worked solution, and it can turn any solution into a quiz, a flashcard deck or a short animated video. Its adaptive learning feature looks at the pattern behind a missed question, works on the missing prerequisite, and then brings the learner back. The free plan needs no card and includes 6 video minutes a day, limited image input and flashcards and quizzes. Paid plans are billed weekly: Basic at $5.98 and Prime at $9.98 per week, with a 3-day free trial. Weekly billing is the main drawback, because a month of Basic costs more than ChatGPT Plus. It is a good fit for a student who learns from video during a hard unit, less so as a year-round subscription.
