Equatio review
Accessible math creation with speech, handwriting, LaTeX, graphing, and Google Forms tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Equatio gives students and educators tools to create, edit, and work with mathematical expressions. It supports speech input, typing, handwriting recognition, LaTeX editing, and equation prediction, with additional tools for graphing, whiteboard work, and accessible equations. Educators can also create math assessments in Google Forms. Its focus is well suited to math and STEM learning, particularly when students need more than keyboard entry to express their work.
The plans cover individuals, K–12 groups and districts, and higher education. The K-12 district plan is listed at $2.15 per seat per year, billed annually, while the K-12 group plan is $17.85 per seat per year, billed annually. An individual license is $179 per year, billed annually; higher education pricing is based on student enrollment. Equatio also has a free plan and a separate 30-day premium trial. The listed plans include Windows, Chrome, iOS, macOS, and LMS integrations. Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, Brightspace D2L, and Google Forms are named integrations, giving it a clear fit for education workflows.
The feature set goes beyond equation entry: Screenshot Reader makes equations readable, Desmos supports graphing and tables, and Math Mentor offers step-by-step explanations and practice problems. Availability spans web, Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and a Chrome extension, with cloud, desktop, mobile, and browser-extension deployment options. Support channels are email and documentation, and the listed compliance standards are GDPR and ISO 27001. Equatio is a fit for schools and individuals prioritizing accessible math expression and assessment creation. It is less suitable for buyers seeking general-purpose writing or productivity software, since its capabilities center on mathematics and STEM.
