Cost & Features to Develop a Robust EdTech App Like Photomath
Introduction:
Learning Mathematics has always been a challenge for many while growing up. Students always face problems with maths when they are unclear with their fundamentals and don’t understand other algebraic and trigonometric equations moving forward.
Entrepreneurs around the world observed this pain and how potential consumers were trying to solve the same by using calculators and other mathematical aids. This is where the idea of an app like photomath hit Deputat Family Corp, a company based in Zagreb, Croatia.
The education industry has seen a surge in entrepreneurs investing in creating apps similar to photomath and other dedicated education portals that cater to millions of individuals around the globe. We – Technource, an on-demand app development company have too received many consultation requests related to ways one can go about investing in the education sector by merging technology.
So we decided to write this blog. This blog brings you the essentials you need to know about creating a Photomath clone, where our primary focus would be on learning the required features and costing structure related to the same. Read on to make the best of it.
Overview: Photomath App
Photomath is a mobile app that is famously known as ‘Camera Calculator’. It captures your mathematical problems or equations using a camera and offers a stepwise solution for the same. The app makes use of text-recognition software to recognize mathematical equations.
It wouldn’t be wrong to say that maths isn’t a challenging subject. But it’s also extremely interesting if one understands the concepts well. We can understand the same by the example of constructing a building. If the base of a building isn’t sturdy then the building might not survive the tests of nature and collapse eventually.
Unlike prior times now we can leverage technology to help students become better at this subject. And so it has been done by the education platforms and apps like Photomath. Technology has empowered individuals to become students at any age and make the best of these learning platforms through remote learning.
Photomath has achieved the same by enhancing a student’s experience in learning mathematics. The app is available for Android, iOS, and Windows mobile devices. The upside to the app is that the platform doesn’t provide the answers to the mathematical equations and just shares the method as that would compromise the purpose of learning.
There are many other apps similar to photomath that are present in the market but yet Photomath has stood out due to its seamless design. Using the app one would feel like they’re always in the presence of a personal tutor that fits in their pocket. Developing such an app can be a learning curve for you and a goto place for your learners.
The stand-out features of the Photomath app include:
- Handwriting recognition
- Instructions with animations
- Stepwise solution
- Graphs
- Calculations using the camera
Features and functionalities are the modes of interaction with your users for your app. Hence, you must choose features for your app wisely.
Let’s have a look at some of the most recommended features that are recommended by our experts.

Cost Structure: Photomath App
Learning the exact cost of creating an app is not as simple as buying a pair of sneakers. It doesn’t come with a price tag and there are various factors that can influence the cost. The mobile app development phase can be divided into 4 different parts. Let’s learn how much these phases would cost you in terms of percentage and what they are.
- Business Analysis: 10%
- UI/UX Design: 15%
- Development Phase & QA: 60%
- Project Management: 15%
Let’s understand each of the above in brief.
Business Analysis:
- The app you’ve imagined can be built by their programmers.
- It’s developed keeping Apple’s and Google’s best practices in mind.
- Your app is built using the most relevant and effective tech stack.
Business Analysis Development Cost: 1,000 USD – 10,000 USD
Designing UI/UX:
