FastSolve vs Smodin
Smodin is an AI writing suite you paste homework into. FastSolve answers questions directly on your LMS quiz page — no pasting, no tab switching.
Updated August 2026
Solves In Place, No Pasting
FastSolve reads the question already on your quiz page and fills the answer. Smodin's Omni solver needs you to copy each question into its website first.
Built for LMS Quizzes
Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, Brightspace, ALEKS, Schoology, Knewton, and Learnosity are natively supported. Smodin has no LMS integration.
Invisible on Screenshare
Zero visual footprint during a quiz. Using Smodin means switching to a visible smodin.io tab — exactly what proctoring software flags.
Auto-Fill Answers
Answers populate directly into the LMS input field — MC selections, text boxes, essays. Smodin shows the answer on its site for you to retype.
Under 2 Seconds
FastSolve returns most answers in under 2 seconds. Smodin Omni takes around 10 seconds per answer — after you've retyped the question.
Free Every Day
FastSolve's free tier is 10 solves per day. Smodin's free plan caps Omni at roughly 5 questions per week.

Deep Dive
Why FastSolve is the Best Smodin Alternative
Different Categories: In-Page Solver vs AI Writing Suite
Smodin is a multi-tool: an AI writer in 50+ languages, a text rewriter, a plagiarism checker, an AI detector and humanizer, and a paste-in homework solver called Omni with subject variants for math, physics, chemistry, and more. FastSolve is one focused tool — a Chrome extension that detects and answers quiz questions inside your LMS. They overlap only on the question-answering step, and even there the workflow is opposite: Smodin expects you to bring the question to it; FastSolve acts on the question in front of you.
Workflow on a Live Quiz: Auto-Detect vs Copy-Paste
Using Smodin during a timed Canvas or Blackboard quiz means selecting the question text, switching to the smodin.io tab, pasting it into Omni, waiting roughly 10 seconds, reading the answer, switching back, and typing it in — and proctoring software logs every tab switch. FastSolve compresses all of that into one double-click on the question: the answer generates in under 2 seconds and auto-fills the input field with zero visual footprint, invisible even over screenshare.
ALEKS and Math: Native Solving vs Retyping Problems
Students searching for an ALEKS math solver often land on Smodin's Omni pages. The practical problem: ALEKS questions are interactive and frequently rendered as graphs or images, which are painful to retype into a paste box, and Smodin's free plan caps Omni at about 5 questions per week. FastSolve supports ALEKS natively — it reads the question in place, handles image-based questions through its built-in screenshot flow, and answers with Claude and GPT-4o, backed by the homepage's 98% accuracy badge.
Where Smodin Genuinely Wins: Writing Assignments
For take-home writing, Smodin is the broader product. Its AI writer drafts essays in 50+ languages, the rewriter paraphrases, and the AI detector and humanizer help check how machine-generated a draft reads before submission — none of which FastSolve does. Its Chrome extension also works inside Google Docs and Gmail for rewriting, though it does not solve quiz questions. The honest split: Smodin for essay assignments, FastSolve for live LMS quizzes and homework questions.
Pricing: Daily Free Solves vs Weekly Credits
FastSolve has a free tier of 10 solves per day, with Pro at $9.99/week, $19.99/month, or $99/year. Smodin's free Starter plan is credit-based — roughly 3 weekly writing credits and about 5 Omni questions per week with a 1,000-character input cap — and paid plans are listed at about $15/month (Essentials), $29/month (Productive), and $79/month (Ultimate). Smodin's site blocked our automated pricing check, so treat its exact figures as approximate; the structural difference is real either way: FastSolve's free tier resets daily, Smodin's weekly.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions: FastSolve vs Smodin
For LMS quizzes, FastSolve — it's the only one of the two that works on the quiz page itself. FastSolve auto-detects questions inside Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, ALEKS, and four more platforms, answers in under 2 seconds, and auto-fills the input invisibly. Smodin's Omni solver is a separate website: you paste each question in and retype the answer back. Smodin is the better pick for essay writing and paraphrasing.
No. Smodin has no LMS integration — to use its Omni solver on an ALEKS or Canvas question you must copy the question into smodin.io yourself, which fails for interactive and image-based problems and shows a tab switch to any proctoring tool. FastSolve reads the question in place on both platforms, including image-based questions via its screenshot flow.
Partly. Smodin's free Starter plan is limited — roughly 3 weekly writing credits and about 5 Omni homework questions per week, with paid plans listed from about $15/month (its site blocked our automated check, so treat exact figures as approximate). FastSolve's free tier is 10 solves per day, every day, with Pro from $9.99/week.
No. Smodin's Chrome extension detects, humanizes, and rewrites text in places like Google Docs and Gmail — it's a writing helper. It does not read or answer questions on an LMS quiz page. FastSolve's extension is the quiz solver: it detects the question on the live page and fills the answer.
Yes — they cover different work. Use Smodin for take-home writing: drafting essays, paraphrasing, and checking drafts with its plagiarism checker and AI detector. Use FastSolve during LMS quizzes and homework sets, where questions need to be answered in place, fast, and invisibly on screenshare.
