The short version. Solvely is a broad study app for the web, phones and Chrome: you give it a problem as a photo, PDF or typed text, and it also does lecture notes, flashcards and exam prep. CleverNode does one thing: it works inside your homework site, reads the question there, and puts the answer beside it.

Where CleverNode is the better pick
- You do not want to leave the page. You click the question where it is, and the answer appears beside the blank. No popup, no photos, no copying the problem into another app, no switching tabs.
- Your homework is on WebAssign, Mastering, Connect or Cengage. CleverNode is built for each of these sites, so it reads the question the way the site lays it out.
- Your questions have several blanks. Each blank gets its own answer, placed on that blank, and dropdown picks are outlined.
- The question depends on the page. CleverNode reads dropdown options, figure descriptions and the earlier parts of a problem straight from the page.
- You want to know the price up front. CleverNode's plans and what they include are on the home page.
Where Solvely may suit you
Solvely does far more than answer homework: it records lectures, makes notes and flashcards, and predicts exam topics. It runs on your phone, and works with problems from anywhere, including paper worksheets. If you want a study app rather than help inside your homework site, Solvely covers more ground.
