Chegg
Homework help with textbook solutions, expert Q&A, and AI-assisted study tools
About
Chegg is a subscription study service for high school and college students, originally a textbook rental company founded in 2005. Chegg Study offers step-by-step solutions for thousands of textbooks plus Expert Q&A where students post questions and get answers from verified subject experts, usually within hours. The Chegg Study Pack bundle adds a Math Solver with step-by-step equation solving and a graphing calculator, Chegg Writing with grammar and plagiarism checks plus citation help, and Chegg Practice with subject-specific practice exams. Most of the heavy lifting is automated — humans double-check work and handle proofreading with 48-hour turnaround — which keeps pricing at $15.95/month for Study and $19.95/month for the Study Pack. Honest caveats: review scores are middling, there is no live tutoring, and the company has faced sustained pressure from free generative AI alternatives, which shows in its business trajectory.
