Top Recommended Replacements
Knowt
FREEBest Overall Free Alternative
Why we like it
The closest '1:1' Quizlet replacement; allows you to import Quizlet sets directly; includes AI flashcard generation, practice tests, and 'Learn Mode' for free; built-in video-to-notes AI.
Keep in mind
Newer platform with occasional UI bugs; some advanced AI limits on the free tier.
Anki
FREEBest for Long-Term Retention
Why we like it
The gold standard for Spaced Repetition Systems (SRS); 100% free on web and Android; highly customizable with thousands of community add-ons; zero data tracking or ads.
Keep in mind
Steep learning curve; the interface looks like legacy software from 2005; the iOS app is a one-time paid purchase ($25).
RemNote
FREEBest for Complex Subjects (Med/Law)
Why we like it
Combines note-taking with flashcards; every bullet point can become a card; powerful 'aliasing' and 'linking' for complex knowledge webs; excellent AI-powered PDF highlights.
Keep in mind
Can be overkill for simple vocabulary or basic exam prep; mobile app is not as 'snappy' as Quizlet.
Brainscape
FREEBest for Confidence-Based Repetition
Why we like it
Uses a unique 'Confidence-Based Repetition' algorithm; extremely fast for rapid-fire studying; vetted 'Certified' decks for major standardized tests (MCAT, LSAT, etc.).
Keep in mind
The free version is quite limited in terms of creating and sharing decks; UI is very focused on speed rather than 'fun' gamification.
Knowvio (formerly Zorbi)
FREEBest for Web Research
Why we like it
A browser-based flashcard tool that lets you create cards directly from any website or PDF; automatically handles spaced repetition; very lightweight.
Keep in mind
Lacks the massive community-shared library found on Quizlet or Anki.
StudyKit
FREEBest for Gamified Learning
Why we like it
Features 'Tracks' which act like RPG quests for your study material; includes a 'Learn' mode similar to the old free Quizlet; very modern, student-focused design.
Keep in mind
Smaller user base; less collaborative features compared to Quizlet.
Mochi
FREEBest Minimalist Design
Why we like it
Uses Markdown for card creation; extremely clean and distraction-free; excellent support for LaTeX and code snippets.
Keep in mind
Lacks a community library; requires users to build or import their own content.
