A Free StudyFetch Alternative — No Credits, No Paywall

StudyFetch packs a lot in, but the AI runs on credits and the best parts sit behind a subscription. Brainfy gives you AI flashcards and an AI tutor from your own notes and PDFs — free during beta, no credit meter ticking down.

Free where it counts

Where StudyFetch genuinely leads

StudyFetch supports more source types out of the box — including audio and video lectures — and bundles them into one workflow. Brainfy is honest about its inputs: it handles pasted text, text-based PDFs, and images via OCR, but not audio or slides. If lecture-recording ingestion is your core need, StudyFetch covers more formats today.

Frequently asked questions

Is Brainfy really free?

Yes — free during beta. AI flashcards, the AI tutor, spaced repetition, and the focus tools are all included, with fair-use guards rather than a paid credit meter.

Does Brainfy charge credits for the AI?

No per-action credits. There are reasonable safeguards on cost to keep the beta sustainable, but you do not buy or refill a credit balance to generate cards or chat.

Can Brainfy turn my PDF into flashcards?

Yes — upload a text-based PDF, paste notes, or upload a photo, and the AI drafts question-answer cards you can edit before they enter your deck.

Does Brainfy import audio or video like StudyFetch?

No. Brainfy handles pasted text, text PDFs, and images (OCR). It does not transcribe audio or video, so StudyFetch covers more source types there.

What happens to the cards after the AI makes them?

They join an SM-2-style spaced-repetition schedule, so reviews resurface weak cards automatically rather than just sitting in a pile.
