Why SnapGPT is the best Gauth alternative
Built for the browser, not the camera roll
Gauth (formerly GauthMath) is a phone-first app: you photograph a problem, then read the solution on your phone. That's fine for a paper textbook — but most graded homework now lives in Canvas, McGraw Hill Connect, ALEKS, or Google Forms, in a browser. SnapGPT is a browser extension, so the answer arrives on the same page as the question, in one click.
Every subject, not math-plus
Gauth's roots are in step-by-step math. SnapGPT routes every question to GPT-5.6 or Claude, which are equally comfortable with stoichiometry, supply curves, Spanish conjugation, and essay prompts. Multiple choice comes back as the exact letter; free-response streams in with SmartScan; math renders with proper notation.
The workflow difference on real quizzes
Photographing a laptop screen with a phone mid-quiz is slow, obvious, and error-prone — glare, cropped answer choices, retyping. SnapGPT screenshots the page directly, so the AI sees exactly what you see, including every answer option. And with Subtle Mode and URL-bar answers, the whole flow stays quiet and inside one tab.
Pricing
Gauth's free tier is limited and its paid plan runs about $12/month, with human-tutor help priced on top. SnapGPT is free for 5 answers a day, and Plus — unlimited answers, chat, SmartScan, Autopilot — starts at $3.99/week or $89.99/year. See pricing.

SnapGPT vs Gauth: FAQ
Is SnapGPT better than Gauth for online homework?
For homework that lives in a browser — Canvas, McGraw Hill Connect, ALEKS, Google Forms — yes. SnapGPT answers the question in the same tab in one click, while Gauth expects you to photograph the problem with your phone and read the answer there.
Does Gauth work on Canvas or other online quiz sites?
Not natively. Gauth is a phone app (with a web upload page), so using it on online quizzes means photographing your screen or copy-pasting questions. SnapGPT is a browser extension that reads the quiz page directly.
Can SnapGPT solve math like GauthMath?
Yes. SnapGPT uses GPT-5.6 and Claude with vision, so it solves algebra through calculus, reads graphs and diagrams, and renders steps in proper math notation. It also covers chemistry, physics, biology, history, and essay questions — it isn't a math-only tool.
How much does SnapGPT cost compared to Gauth?
SnapGPT is free for 5 screenshot answers and 5 chat messages a day; Plus is $3.99/week, $9.99/month, or $89.99/year. Gauth's paid plan runs about $12/month, and live tutor help costs extra.
Do I need my phone to use SnapGPT?
No. SnapGPT runs entirely in Chrome or Firefox on your computer. One click (or Alt+Shift+X) captures the question and shows the answer on the same page.
Can SnapGPT answer image and diagram questions?
Yes. SnapGPT captures the question as a screenshot, so charts, graphs, chemical structures, and geometry figures are all read by the vision model exactly as they appear.
Is it OK to use SnapGPT on graded work?
SnapGPT is a study aid. Your school's academic-integrity policy governs what's allowed on graded work — check it before using any AI tool on an exam, and take responsibility for how you use the answers.
