Comparison · Anki
Love Anki’s spaced repetition, not the setup? Brainfy keeps the SM-2-style scheduling you rely on, adds AI that drafts cards from your notes, and wraps it in a calm interface — with full import/export so you’re never locked in.

Anki’s decade-deep add-on ecosystem and enormous shared-deck libraries are unmatched, and its scheduler is endlessly tweakable. If you live inside massive community decks, that gravity is real — which is why Brainfy imports and exports decks so you can use both.
Yes — free during beta with no deck caps. (Anki is free too, except the one-time paid iOS app.)
Yes. Export your Anki notes as “Notes in Plain Text” (tab-separated) and paste or upload them in any deck’s Cards tab. CSV works too.
Yes — every deck exports to CSV, which re-imports into Anki, Quizlet, or a spreadsheet. No lock-in.
It uses an SM-2-style algorithm — the same family Anki’s classic scheduler is built on — with a four-button rating and per-day new-card caps.
