A free alternative to paid tutoring and study apps
COSMIQ is a free, voice-driven AI tutor for every K-12 student — with a step-by-step smart board, standards-aligned practice, and realistic mock tests. Compare it with the tools you already know.
- Free alternative to Khan Academy — Khan Academy is a beloved free library of videos and practice. COSMIQ takes a different shape: instead of watching a lesson, you talk to a tutor that works the problem with you, out loud, on a live board.
- Free alternative to IXL — IXL is known for endless standards-aligned practice questions. COSMIQ keeps the standards alignment but adds a tutor you can talk to and a board that shows the working, so a wrong answer becomes a lesson.
- Free alternative to Kumon — Kumon is known for structured worksheets and center visits. COSMIQ brings the daily-practice habit home, with a tutor you can talk to any time instead of a fixed schedule.

- Free alternative to Chegg — Chegg is known for homework help and study resources. COSMIQ focuses on teaching you the how: instead of handing over an answer, it works the problem with you so you can do the next one alone.
- Free alternative to Course Hero — Course Hero is known for shared study documents. COSMIQ gives you a tutor that explains the material itself — talk it through and watch the concept get built on the board.
- Free alternative to Photomath — Photomath is known for scanning a problem and showing steps. COSMIQ lets you talk through the math — ask why a step works, try the next line yourself, and get feedback in the moment.
- Free alternative to Quizlet — Quizlet is known for flashcards and study sets. COSMIQ adds a tutor around the review: spaced repetition brings skills back at the right time, and a voice tutor explains the ones you miss.
- Free alternative to Brainly — Brainly is known for community-posted homework answers. COSMIQ gives you a tutor that reasons the problem out with you — so you can trust the method and repeat it yourself.
- Free alternative to Prodigy — Prodigy is known for game-based math practice. COSMIQ keeps learning fun with a 3D game arcade, but pairs it with a real tutor and a step-by-step board so the learning is front and center.
- Free alternative to Numerade — Numerade is known for video walkthroughs of problems. COSMIQ makes the walkthrough interactive — talk to the tutor, pause to try a step, and get feedback instead of watching passively.
