What is "Photomath"?

Photomath is a helpful app that lets you take pictures of math problems and shows you step-by-step solutions. It's great for students or anyone needing a bit of extra help with math. They offer a subscription service that gives you extra features for a monthly fee, so if you see a charge on your bill, that might be why.

Photomath: The name of the company providing the service or product, which in this case helps with math problems.
RECURRING: Indicates that this transaction is part of a repeated payment, usually for a subscription or ongoing service.
SUBSCRIPTION: Refers to paying for access to a service or content over a period of time, often monthly or annually.
PAYMENT: This term signifies that the transaction is a payment being made, typically for services rendered or products purchased.
TRANSACTION ID: A unique number assigned to this specific transaction, which can be used for reference or tracking.
AUTHORIZED: Implies that the payment has been approved and completed successfully.
XXXXXXXXXXXX: A masked version of your payment card number, to protect your financial information. Only the last four digits may be visible.

Verify With Receipt

The best way to tell if this charge is fraudulent is to find the receipt. You may have an electronic copy of the receipt, which Chargeback can help you find by searching your email accounts.

Chargeback helps you identify unwanted subscriptions and charges, and help you fight them to get your money back.

Why do people get charges like this from Photomath?

Subscription Fees: Customers may see recurring charges if they signed up for a premium subscription plan, which often includes additional features not available in the free version.
In-App Purchases: Users might accidentally make in-app purchases for specific features, services, or content that requires payment, leading to unexpected charges.
Free Trial Expiration: After a free trial period ends, users may automatically start being charged if they did not cancel the subscription in time.
Multiple Accounts: Some users report being charged on multiple accounts, often forgetting that they have more than one account with active subscriptions.
Payment Information Errors: Occasionally, incorrect payment information can lead to unexpected charges appearing, especially if there's a delay in processing a payment.
Shared Accounts: Charges might appear due to shared family or group accounts, where one person's subscription covers multiple users.

If I see this charge, what should I do?

If you see this charge and aren’t expecting it, you have various options.

First, try to contact the photomath.com via one of the support methods we listed below and inquire about the charge. See if they will refund it and cancel any associated subscriptions you might have.

If the photomath.com refused to issue a refund or you cannot get in touch with the company, call your bank or financial institution and open a credit card dispute. Record screenshot evidence from your prior conversations with photomath.com, and use that to open your credit card dispute. Tell your bank or credit card issuer that you do not recognize the charge and do not recall signing up for the service.

If this sounds like too much of a hassle, you can have Chargeback do it for you.
