The scheduling algorithm matters more than the interface. Most people pick on the interface.
| App type | Scheduling | Sync | Free limit |
|---|
| Open-source SRS | Configurable | Manual or free | Unlimited |
| Subscription SRS | Fixed, tuned | Automatic | 100-500 cards |
| Built into platform | Basic | Automatic | Course-bound |
| Paper | None | None | Unlimited |
What to check
- Can you export? Cards you cannot move are cards you will lose.
- Does it support cloze deletion and images?
- Is the daily new-card cap adjustable?
