BrushUpIQ vs Dende

BrushUpIQ turns uploaded PDF, Word and text documents into quizzes with explanations. It runs on the web and is presented for learners, trainers and educators. Text extraction takes place in the browser, so original files stay on the user’s device; the homepage says extracted text alone is sent to generate questions. The Free plan allows five quiz generations each month, up to five questions per quiz and documents up to 2 MB, with multiple-choice questions only. Learner costs £6.99/mo or £59/year and raises the monthly generation allowance to 50, the question limit to 25 and document size to 10 MB; it adds true/false, multiple-answer and mixed quizzes, AI explanations, history and retakes.

All plans have fair-use monthly limits and users receive a prompt before running out.

Dende is a web study tool that turns learning materials into quizzes, flashcards and a study plan for exam preparation. It accepts PDF, Word, PPT and TXT files, including scans, and supports any language. Quizzes draw from document content and can use multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank or true-or-false questions. Dende gives feedback after each answer and tracks progress to help learners identify topics needing attention. It also makes flashcards for active recall. Learners can rate their confidence in a card, and cards they are still learning are shown sooner. Generated questions and answers are editable; cards can include images or highlighted text and be grouped into custom decks. Flashcards can be reviewed from any device, including mobile. Dende says results from handwritten notes depend on their quality and recommends digital files, including scans. The free plan allows one file upload and limited questions. Premium costs €6.90 per month and includes unlimited uploads and all questions.
