Algor Education started as a concept map tool and has added AI flashcards and quizzes. Upload notes, PDFs or photos and it creates mind maps, summaries, flashcards and quizzes, so a student can first see how ideas connect and then drill the same material. Automatic maps accept text of up to 100,000 characters on every plan, and paid tiers add speech synthesis and print and export. The app listing says over 5 million students use it. The free plan is free forever, and the paid Beginner, Base and Pro tiers can be bought for one month up to a year, with the yearly option discounted. From our location the pricing page showed only euro prices, so the US price is pending. Algor is the right pick for visual learners who want maps and cards together; students who want a spaced repetition schedule should choose RemNote, Brainscape or Anki, which document how reviews are timed.
