Knowt review

Knowt is the strongest free option for students coming from Quizlet. Its app store listing says one click turns notes into flashcards, and the AI can summarize lecture videos and draft cards on the key points. Practice tests come from any note, PDF or video, and Learn mode is free with unlimited rounds, alongside Practice Test, Match and Spaced Repetition modes. You can also bring in existing sets from Quizlet. The free plan covers unlimited file creation, live collaboration and storage and lets you browse 5 million shared resources, which is enough for most high school courses. Ultra costs $7.99 per month billed upfront at $95.99 a year, or $24.99 month to month, and adds an ad-free experience, AI summaries of PDFs, videos, images and PowerPoints, lecture recording summaries, an AI podcast generator, an AI voice tutor and full AP, SAT and ACT prep. Be careful with the monthly plan: it costs three times the yearly rate, and refunds are limited to 24 hours after a charge.
