More detail

Chegg's value is its solution database — useful if you want a worked-out answer to copy. iTutor's value is teaching — it explains the underlying concept, generates practice problems, and tests your understanding. Cost difference matters too: Chegg is $239.40/year, iTutor is free for individuals. For students who care about learning the material (not just turning in homework), iTutor wins on cost and on outcome.
