It is down more than it is up
Every time Chegg or Course Hero change their site, Homeworkify and its mirrors stop working until someone patches them.
StudyFox vs Homeworkify
The Homeworkify alternative that doesn't go down every month
Homeworkify unblurs someone else's answer when it works. StudyFox works out the answer for your question, every time, with the steps.
The short version
Homeworkify became popular as a free way to see Chegg and Course Hero answers without paying. That only works while those sites don't change anything, so it breaks constantly, the clones are full of ads, and the answer you get was written for someone else's version of the question. StudyFox does not look anything up. It solves the question you give it, with the reasoning written out, inline on Canvas, Blackboard and Moodle, and turns the topic into flashcards and quizzes so you are not searching for the answer next time.

Where Homeworkify falls short
Why students look for a Homeworkify alternative
Someone else's answer
The archive answer was written for a different edition, different numbers or a slightly different question. Close is not the same as right.
Ads, redirects and lookalikes
Most Homeworkify links today lead to clones packed with ads and pop-ups, and some are outright malicious.
What StudyFox does differently

A study tool, not a workaround
Turn the topic into spaced-repetition flashcards, a practice quiz or a mind map so you are ready before the next assignment.
To be fair
When Homeworkify is still the better pick

StudyFox vs Homeworkify: common questions
StudyFox has a free plan with no credit card and no ads. Paid plans raise the monthly AI allowance.
No. StudyFox solves the question you give it instead of looking up archived answers, which is why it works when unblur tools do not.
Unblur tools depend on the sites they scrape. Whenever Chegg or Course Hero change something, Homeworkify and its mirrors break until they are patched, and many current links lead to ad-heavy clones.
