Brainback vs Chegg
Chegg sells you answers. Brainback refuses them.
Chegg's core product is a database of textbook problem solutions plus a Q&A service where humans answer homework questions.
Brainback is the categorical opposite. Every design decision we make is aimed at preventing exactly the outcome Chegg optimizes for: the student getting a completed answer without doing the work.
