Are there any free online and/or offline alternatives to the step-by-step-solution feature of Wolfram|Alpha Pro?
This feature is able to display step-by-step-solutions of a wide variety of algebra problems, as shown in the example screenshot below.

Another great alternative is: https://www.symbolab.com/
It has also got a premium area, but its step-by-step solutions are free.

1Aditya at softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/48818/… says it is not free anymore. @itaton can you confirm?– Nicolas Raoul ♦Commented Feb 26, 2018 at 2:48

1Seems to be not free any more, and more expensive than Wolfram mobile Commented Apr 1, 2018 at 15:08

Still works for me on the website I linked. I don't know about (and haven't tested) any mobile app, which is what the question Nicolas Raoul referenced is asking.– itatonCommented Apr 13, 2018 at 19:07

1After using symbolab for a while, very disappointed. It's not free (requires payment for many advanced features, pretty much like WolframAlpha), it's just horribly buggy, and the functionality is very limited. You can't even copy and paste the formula in the graphing area, for example.– mojubaCommented Oct 16, 2018 at 19:05

This is not true (at least as of now). I see a padlock "Show steps" button, and it says: "Subscribe to get much more: Full access to solution steps", "From $1.99". Commented Feb 17, 2021 at 21:08
I know this isn't free, but the Wolfram Alpha mobile phone app has a one-time cost of $2.99 (at least on Android) and offers step-by-step solutions without needing a Pro account.

One good alternative is: http://gamma.sympy.org/
It doesn't show steps for factoring but it does show steps for more complicated things in Calculus like derivatives and integrals.

It looks like it doesn't show steps for many complicated limits, integrals, etc. for which WolframAlpha does have steps available. Commented Dec 24, 2020 at 13:42
Another free option is photomath. Not as advanced as WolframAlpha, but may be suitable. It is available for Android.
Another free option is www.emathhelp.net

Does this have step-by-step? Cause I don't see anything that looks like it.– MaxDCommented Apr 21, 2021 at 21:12

1@MaxD this is not a one page website. The calculators are on different pages. Derivative calculator - emathhelp.net/calculators/calculus-1/derivative-calculator Use search in the upper-right corner. Or google "your query emathhelp", e.g. "factoring calculator emathhelp".– Paul RCommented Apr 22, 2021 at 17:33
Open Omnia is an alternative to Wolfram Alpha Pro and Symbolab. Disclaimer: I am the developer.
You can find the web application here: https://openomnia.com and the android app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.openomnia.openomnia
Feel free to try it out.
Microsoft Mathematics is a great alternative to Mathematica.
Note that I am a user of both Wolfram Mathematica and Microsoft Mathematics 4.0 .
Though the User Interface is a bit outdated, it has a lot of Mathematica-grade features.
Recent versions of Microsoft Edge come with something called Math Solver:
It provides the option to either type in the math problem or select it on the screen.
Math Solver is also accessible if you try searching for a math problem on Bing:
Also through a direct URL: https://mathsolver.microsoft.com/en
I tried it and was quite impressed:

1MS Mah Solver does not support pasting equations but one can replace the last part of the URL after 'solve-problem/' instead Commented Dec 30, 2022 at 5:56
I've just found fxSolver... It doesn't seem to show all the workings, but it does provide help and background on the inputs, and allows plotting.

I can't find any step-by-step feature on this site. Note that this question doesn't ask for a general alternative to Wolfram, but specifically for the step-by-step solution feature.– MaxDCommented Jan 19, 2018 at 11:03
