High-cost commercial software alternatives:
These options are enterprise-level solutions designed for large scale commercial licenses and business or university applications. The costs range from $300-to several thousands of dollars.
Low-cost software alternatives:
This option is a viable individual pricing model. Mathemechanix must be downloaded and does not offer much in the way of support.
Free software alternatives:
The following options are available at no cost, but are limited in their offering. Most focus only on one or two math concentrations, such as algebra, financial math or graphing.
Graphing Calculators:
While individual graphing calculators from Texus Instruments and Casio are still expensive ($80-$160), they are useful tools in the math and science classroom. There are many low cost or even free graphing calculator apps for phones, tablets and computers such as Desmos - the online free calculator (Free), Graphing Calculator on iTunes $0.99, Calculator + + (Android) Free, Algeo Graphing Calculator (Android) Free,
No-tech alternatives:
It must also be said that pencils, rulers, protractors and graph paper are low or no tech alternatives to GeoGebra.
