Brainscape is a flashcard app with Confidence-Based Repetition: you rate 1 to 5 after each card and the scheduler uses that. Making and studying your own cards is free. Pro is $7.99 a month on the website when billed annually. App Store SKUs include $19.99 monthly, $95.99 yearly, and a $199.99 lifetime. Prices checked 21 September 2026.
Certified and other people’s decks sit behind Pro. If you only need your own cards, stay on Basic. If you wanted Anki’s open scheduler and add-ons, this is simpler and less powerful.

Cleaner than Anki, thinner than Anki. Fine for a professional exam deck you will rate honestly. Weak if you need cloze templates and add-ons.
