Is MathSense AI an alternative to Examino?

For handwritten math, yes. Both grade step by step against a rubric and keep the teacher’s approval before anything goes out. Examino covers every subject and is built around phone scanning; MathSense AI is built only for math, with each step scored against your point values and a separate arithmetic check.

Does Examino grade handwritten math?

Yes. As of October 17, 2026, Examino’s math page describes OCR trained on handwritten equations, fractions, square roots and matrix notation, and partial credit awarded step by step from your rubric.

How much does each cost?

As of October 17, 2026, Examino’s Discovery plan grades 10 papers a month free, Standard is $7.50 a month for 100 papers and Plus $17.90 for 300. MathSense AI grades your first assignment free, up to 5 papers, then costs $49 or $99 a month with a 7-day trial.

Can I try MathSense AI on my own tests?

Yes. On the free Starter plan your first assignment is graded free — up to 5 student papers — with no credit card. Upload one of your own handwritten assignments and review the grades and feedback before deciding.

MathSense AI vs ExaminoScan any subject with a phone, or a grader built only for handwritten math?

Examino is a French grader for any subject: students or teachers scan the paper with a phone, and the AI grades it step by step against a rubric with points per step. MathSense AI is built only for math: it reads handwritten work, scores every step against your rubric and point values, runs an arithmetic check, and drafts feedback you approve.
