Mindgrasp is the other large “upload the lecture, get the kit” app: structured notes, a summary, flashcards, quizzes, and a 24/7 tutor from PDFs, slides, YouTube, audio, web links, and live recording. Work is organised as sessions (one lecture, one chapter). Paid plans advertise unlimited uploads.
There is no permanent free plan. A 4-day trial asks for a card and converts if you forget. Basic is $9.99 a month or $71.88 a year ($5.99 a month billed annually). Scholar ($107.88/yr) and Premium ($131.88/yr) add live-recording hours, the Chrome extension, and iOS. Figures compiled from 2026 plan pages and secondary checks on 16 September 2026.
The door is the problem. You cannot really try it without a card, and the features that make it useful in class sit above Basic. StudyFetch at least publishes a free demo. Studycamp’s free plan does not ask for a card.
