Menlo Park, California, United States
What it is
Bartleby is an online homework-help service for students, with web access and Android and iOS apps. Its study tools include step-by-step textbook and homework solutions, Expert Q&A, live tutor chat, and a Math Solver that offers guided help with math problems. The app listing describes a library of more than 8 million answers and support across more than 30 subjects, including math, science, and social science. Students can send homework questions to experts for detailed explanations; responses may arrive in as little as 30 minutes, though timing varies. Bartleby also has an institutional offering with customizable features, LTI integration, single sign-on, technical and marketing support, and student engagement reporting. Textbook solutions subscriptions are available through Bartleby.com, mbsdirect.net, and participating college websites. Bartleby is scheduled to retire permanently on November 9, 2026, and says it will not move content or product features to another platform. Recurring charges will stop before that date, and eligible subscribers with paid time remaining may qualify for a prorated refund.
