The ranking at a glance

The picks, in order

1. Google Gemini (Guided Learning + Live)

Best for: Best free all-rounder, with voice and screen sharing on phones. Price (October 2026): Free; AI Plus $4.99/month; AI Pro $19.99/month. Platforms: Web, Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac, Chrome.

Guided Learning breaks problems down step by step with questions, images and quizzes. Gemini Live is free voice chat that can see your camera or full screen on Android and iPhone. Gemini also makes free flashcards, study guides and full SAT practice tests.

Why it ranks here: Free, with full screen and camera sharing in Live on Android and iPhone, and screen context in the Mac app. It can highlight things in the camera view on some phones, but does not draw over a computer screen.

Watch out: Live is not in the Gemini web app, and Live in Chrome is not available to users under 18. 13+ (under 13 only through a parent's Family Link). Full comparison.

2. DuckyHelper (our product)

Best for: A live voice tutor that sees and marks up your screen, any subject. Price (October 2026): Free (about 6 min of talking a week); Plus $20/month; Pro $200/month; Unlimited $200/week. Platforms: Web app in any browser, including Chromebooks and Windows; Mac app (macOS 14+, Apple silicon).

A live voice tutor. Talk to Ducky and it sees your screen, explains out loud, and shows you: in the web app it draws marks on the preview of a tab, window or screen you share; in the Mac app it draws circles, arrows and labels right on your real screen and walks you through steps in your own apps, checking each one. Both make quizzes, worked steps, interactive graphs and pictures; flashcards, simulations, maps, timelines and the code runner are Mac app only, and longer practice tests are web only. A dashboard tracks time learned, streak, topics, mastery and test scores.

Why it ranks here: The most complete for studying: sees a tab, window or screen you share in any browser (including Chromebooks), or your whole Mac screen, while you talk; draws marks one at a time; on a Mac, checks each step you do in your own apps; and makes quizzes and graphs. Second because it is new, has no phone app, and is paid beyond a small free plan.

Watch out: New, with no track record yet. The free plan is small, and you get far less talking time per dollar than with chat apps. Drawing on your real screen, step checks inside other apps and flashcards are Mac only. No phone app. Under 13 only with verified parental consent.

3. Microsoft Copilot

Best for: Windows users; screen help with Copilot Vision. Price (October 2026): Free; Microsoft 365 Personal $9.99/month, Premium $19.99/month. Platforms: Windows, Mac (US, UK, Canada), iPhone, Android including Chromebooks, web.

Copilot Voice is free. Copilot Vision can see a shared screen or apps on Windows and highlight parts of it, and Copilot Learn makes quizzes, practice tests and flashcards.

Why it ranks here: Copilot Vision sees a shared screen or apps on Windows and can highlight parts of it. It needs Microsoft 365, and it is a general assistant.

Watch out: Vision needs a Microsoft 365 Personal, Family or Premium plan. 13+, with some features limited under 18. Full comparison.

4. Clicky (HeyClicky)

Best for: General Mac help that points at buttons and does tasks. Price (October 2026): Free (25 talk messages a month); Pro $20/month; Max $100/month. Platforms: Mac (macOS 14.2+); Windows waitlist.

A Mac voice assistant that sees your screen when you press its hotkey, draws on your screen to point the way, takes dictation, and has an agent mode that does tasks for you. Pro has unlimited talk.

Why it ranks here: Sees your Mac screen and points at buttons, with unlimited talk for $20. Built for software help, not school subjects.

Watch out: Built for software help, not school subjects: no quizzes, flashcards or progress tracking found. Full comparison.

5. ChatGPT study mode

Best for: Free step-by-step help on any device. Price (October 2026): Free; Go $8/month; Plus $20/month; Pro from $100/month. Platforms: Web, iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows.

Study mode asks questions, gives hints and checks your understanding instead of only giving answers. It is free on every plan, and it can quiz you inside the chat. Voice is on all plans; Plus includes up to 3 hours a day of Live voice.

Why it ranks here: Screen share works in Advanced voice on the phone apps; the default voice cannot see your screen.

Watch out: It can still give direct answers. The default Live voice cannot see your camera or screen; screen share is in Advanced voice on the phone apps. 13+, with a parent's permission under 18. Full comparison.

6. Penseum

Best for: A web study tutor that talks and works on a canvas. Price (October 2026): Free tier; paid plan. Platforms: Web.

A study tool that makes materials from your notes and offers a real-time voice tutor. Penseum says it "sees your actual work on screen" and "draws diagrams and works through solutions live on your canvas."

Why it ranks here: A web study tutor that says it sees your work and draws on its own canvas; we could not verify prices.

Watch out: We could not verify its paid prices or age rules.

7. A human tutor with screen sharing (Wyzant, Tutor.com)

Best for: A person who sees your screen and knows you. Price (October 2026): Wyzant about $35 to $60 an hour plus 9%; Tutor.com from $39.99/month or free through libraries. Platforms: Web, phone apps.

A human tutor can watch your shared screen and draw on a shared whiteboard during an online lesson. Wyzant's Learning Studio supports screen sharing; Tutor.com has a shared whiteboard and is free through many libraries.

Why it ranks here: A person sees your shared screen and knows you, but you schedule and pay by the hour.

Watch out: You have to schedule, and it costs more per hour.
