Pros
- A Library Built Over Twenty Years: Chegg publishes more than six million textbook solutions and a searchable library of over 100 million curated answers across 50-plus subjects.
- The Study Pack Bundles Four Tools: At $19.95 a month it adds citations in 7,000-plus styles, plagiarism and grammar checks, expert proofreading within 48 hours and a maths solver with graphing calculator.
- Twenty Expert Questions a Month: Study Pack members can ask up to 20 questions a month alongside unlimited access to the solutions library, and can pause a membership for up to 90 days a year.
Cons
- Cancellation is completed on a desktop rather than inside the mobile app, and fees are billed in advance, so diary a reminder a few days before each renewal and keep the confirmation email.
- Chegg Study at $15.95 covers homework solutions only, with writing, proofreading and maths tools sitting in the Study Pack, so weigh the two tiers against the work you actually have on.
The Verdict
What sets Chegg apart is the size of its solutions library, which few free tools match on course-specific textbook problems: Chegg, Inc. is a Delaware company listed on the New York Stock Exchange as CHGG, founded in 2005 by Iowa State students Aayush Phumbhra and Osman Rashid and now run from San Francisco under Dan Rosensweig, who returned as chief executive in October 2025. What it sells today is study software rather than books: Chegg Study for step-by-step textbook solutions, the Chegg Study Pack adding Chegg Writing, the Math Solver and Chegg Create, plus Busuu for languages and Chegg Skills for workplace training. Printed and digital textbooks moved to partner Valore in July 2025, so a book search on chegg.com now hands you to Valore's marketplace for the purchase and for any order questions afterwards. Pricing is simple. Chegg Study is $15.95 a month and the Chegg Study Pack $19.95 a month, with no annual tier published. The Study Pack covers homework solutions, quiz and exam help, expert proofreading within 48 hours, plagiarism detection and maths help, with up to 20 expert questions a month, while eTextbooks through Valore start at $6.99. Memberships can be suspended for up to 90 days in a membership year during breaks. The reservations concern billing, and they are documented. In September 2025 Chegg agreed to pay $7.5 million to settle Federal Trade Commission allegations under the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act that its cancellation process was hard to locate and took multiple clicks, and that the company had charged nearly 200,000 consumers after they asked to cancel; the resulting order requires cancellation to be at least as easy as signing up, with compliance reporting for ten years. A separate 2022 FTC order addressed four security incidents, including a 2018 breach of roughly 40 million customer records. Fees are non-refundable after cancellation, Trustpilot reads 2.0 across 6,706 reviews, and BBB holds an A+ accreditation rating alongside a 1.0 customer score from 61 reviewers. Revenue fell 51% year on year in the second quarter of 2026 as the company moves its weight toward corporate skilling. Made for students working through course-specific textbook problems: the solutions library answers questions most free tools leave open. Pick the tier that matches your coursework, plan to cancel on a desktop, and explore now.

About this review
How this was written, who paid for what, and how the verdict stays independent.
Is this Chegg review sponsored?
No. Chegg did not pay for this write-up, see it before publication, or have any say in the verdict. If we earn anything it is a commission after you buy, and it comes out of the merchant’s margin rather than your price.
How was the Chegg assessed?
By using it and by checking the claims made about it against what it actually does. Where our time with something has been limited, the review says so rather than implying more testing than happened.
What else have you reviewed in Media & Entertainment?
Everything in Media & Entertainment sits in the review library, where you can filter by budget and sort by rating, price or how recently it landed.
Do you update reviews after publishing?
Yes — when a product changes, when a price moves for good, or when we get something wrong. Corrections are made on the piece itself with a note saying what changed.
