Who owns GeoGebra in 2026?

GeoGebra is owned by Think & Learn (Byju's), which filed Chapter 11 in Delaware on February 1, 2024. As of mid-2026 no source confirms GeoGebra has been divested from the bankrupt estate; ownership remains unresolved.

Is GeoGebra profitable?

GeoGebra's core tools are free, so it has no clear independent revenue model. Its parent Byju's is bankrupt, with founder Byju Raveendran hit with a $1.07 billion default judgment in November 2025, leaving GeoGebra's finances tied to a distressed estate.

Could ChatGPT or AI replace GeoGebra?

AI already erodes GeoGebra's homework-solver use case, per CLRN's July 2025 analysis calling its AI use limited. But its interactive drag-and-build geometry construction and proof workflow, used in classrooms, is not replicated by chatbots or Photomath.

Who is GeoGebra's biggest competitor?

Desmos is GeoGebra's closest peer in K-12 interactive math visualization. Photomath, acquired by Google in 2023 with an estimated 25% of the global math-solver market and ~35 million MAUs as of 2025, dominates the adjacent homework-solving niche.

Did Byju's founder go to jail?

Yes. Byju Raveendran was sentenced to six months in prison in Singapore in May 2026 for contempt tied to asset-disclosure failures, following a $1.07 billion default judgment from a Delaware bankruptcy court in November 2025.

Will GeoGebra survive Byju's bankruptcy?

Unclear. Byju's US unit filed Chapter 11 on February 1, 2024, and India's Supreme Court revived insolvency proceedings in October 2024. As of mid-2026 GeoGebra has not been confirmed as sold, spun out, or abandoned within the estate.

The call

GeoGebra keeps growing teacher use and traffic while its bankrupt parent's legal chaos leaves its ownership and funding future unresolved.

GeoGebra makes interactive geometry and math tools that teachers use to show students how math works visually. It is hard to replace because over one million teachers have built lessons and activities inside it, and their students know how to use it, so switching costs real time and effort. Google bought Photomath (a homework-solving app) in 2023 and has been building it into its other products, and AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini can now explain math problems and generate graphs too, so fewer students may need GeoGebra's specific tools. The one thing that could save or sink GeoGebra is whether its parent company Byju's (which is bankrupt and whose founder is now in jail) will spin it off as its own company or sell it to someone else, or whether it just gets abandoned, the answer should come in the next few years as the bankruptcy court decides what to do with the assets.

Why

AI pressure: Photomath (Google) and ChatGPT-style homework solvers. AI solvers instantly answer homework problems, pulling students away from GeoGebra's manual construction and exploration tools. Could AI do the core job? Only partly.

Bigger players: Google (via Photomath acquisition, integrated 2025). Google folded Photomath into its ecosystem, giving it distribution and AI features GeoGebra's small team struggles to match quickly. Could a giant copy it? Probably.

What protects it. Teachers worldwide built over 1 million free lesson materials on GeoGebra, creating classroom habits that are hard to replace overnight.

What would change this call

Delaware bankruptcy court rules on GeoGebra's ownership fate (sale, spin-out, or abandonment). Shows whether GeoGebra gets a stable owner or stays trapped in Byju's estate limbo.
Byju Raveendran's appeal of the $1.07B judgment is decided. Affects how much control and delay the founder retains over estate assets including GeoGebra.
GeoGebra ships a competing AI solver feature or partnership within the next year. Indicates whether it can defend its user base against Photomath and ChatGPT-style tools.
