AskSia's extension only imports your Canvas files—forcing you to switch tabs to solve.
Students install the AskSia Chrome extension (asksia.ai) expecting an in-page quiz solver, only to discover its actual function: it injects a “Sync to AskSia” button onto your Canvas dashboard to bulk-scrape your course modules into an external web workspace—and forces you to switch browser tabs (firing window.blur) whenever you want to solve a question or DeltaMath problem.
ExamGhost solves Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, and DeltaMath questions directly inside your active exam tab in 0.3s via a Closed Shadow DOM HUD—starting with 50 Free Solves ($0, no credit card).
“Collect courses and automatically extract course content and information from your LMS with AskSia.”
→ Built as a course-file exporter, not a live in-exam stealth solver“Places a Sync to AskSia button onto course cards... reads course modules, files, assignments, pages, and syllabi into your AskSia library.”
→ Bulk automated crawling of your university Canvas account“1 free course sync, then ~$25/mo or $76–$210/yr across Plus, Super, and A+ subscription tiers.”
Why AskSia Fails During Timed Canvas & DeltaMath Exams
Click each tab below to compare AskSia's bulk Canvas module scraper, its external tab-switch solver, and its Plus/Super/A+ pricing against ExamGhost.
Automated downloading of every module, file, and syllabus
When you install the AskSia Chrome extension, it injects a visible “Sync to AskSia” button onto your Canvas dashboard cards. Clicking it triggers a background script that crawls your authenticated Canvas session to download every course module, page, assignment, and file to AskSia's external servers.
University IT security systems monitor abnormal bulk file downloads from student LMS sessions—and AskSia only gives you 1 free course sync before demanding a paid upgrade.
Upload only the PDFs you choose—zero automated LMS crawling
ExamGhost never crawls your university Canvas endpoints in the background. You selectively drop your study guide or lecture slides into our Course Materials Vault, and ExamGhost uses them to ground your live quiz answers inside a Closed Shadow DOM HUD.
Forces you to leave the exam tab to use its AI solver
AskSia markets a DeltaMath Solver and AI Homework Helper, but those tools live inside the external asksia.ai web dashboard. During a timed Canvas, Blackboard, or DeltaMath assessment, switching tabs to paste a problem or upload a screenshot into AskSia immediately triggers window.blur and document.visibilitychange.
Solve Canvas & DeltaMath equations without ever leaving the tab
ExamGhost runs directly inside your active exam tab. Press ⌘+B for instant DOM extraction or ⌘+Shift+S to snip any DeltaMath graph or calculus integral—and view the step-by-step solution inside a Closed Shadow DOM overlay with Focus Shield blocking 100% of blur events.
Confusing Plus, Super & A+ tiers costing up to $210/year

Every feature unlocked on every plan. 50 Free Solves upfront.
ExamGhost never splits features across confusing Plus/Super/A+ tiers. You get 100% of our 24 stealth tools on every plan, starting with 50 Free Solves.

Frequently Asked Questions: AskSia vs ExamGhost
Does the AskSia Chrome extension solve live Canvas quizzes in-page?
No. AskSia's Chrome Web Store description states its purpose is to “collect courses and automatically extract course content and information from your LMS with AskSia.” It places a visible “Sync to AskSia” button onto Canvas course cards to import files and syllabi into its external web workspace—meaning you must switch tabs to asksia.ai to use its AI solver, triggering window.blur in Canvas SpeedGrader.
Can Canvas detect AskSia's “Sync to AskSia” course scraping?
Yes. AskSia injects a “Sync to AskSia” DOM button onto your LMS dashboard and fires automated background requests to download all course modules, files, assignments, pages, and syllabi into AskSia's cloud servers. University IT logs and Canvas access tokens record bulk module downloads, whereas ExamGhost reads only the active question locally inside a Closed Shadow DOM.
How does AskSia's DeltaMath Solver compare to ExamGhost?
AskSia's DeltaMath Solver is an external web portal on asksia.ai where you must manually upload screenshots or type problems in a separate browser tab. ExamGhost solves DeltaMath, ALEKS, WebAssign, and Canvas STEM equations directly inside your active exam tab in 0.3 seconds via ⌘+Shift+S Snap-It Vision OCR with zero tab switching.
How much does AskSia cost compared to ExamGhost in 2026?
AskSia allows 1 free course sync or a $0.99 3-day trial, then bills ~$25/month or $76–$210/year across its Plus, Super, and A+ subscription tiers. ExamGhost gives you 50 Free Solves upfront with zero credit card required, plus $19/mo Monthly, $99/yr Academic Year ($8.25/mo), or $199 Lifetime.
