BrushUpIQ vs PDFQuiz

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. Creator costs £14.99/mo or £149/year, with 200 generations, up to 50 questions and 25 MB documents, as well as editing, collections, PDF and CSV exports and public quiz links. Team is marked coming soon at £39/mo for three seats; Business / Enterprise is also coming soon with custom pricing. All plans have fair-use monthly limits and users receive a prompt before running out.

PDFQuiz uses AI to turn PDFs and other uploaded documents into interactive quizzes. Its listed 16 upload formats include office documents, images, and text formats; six question types range from single choice and matching to open ended. OCR can read scanned pages and photos. Users can take quizzes online, study questions as flashcards, download quizzes and results as PDFs, and export quizzes to Anki depending on plan. Paid plans can generate quizzes in a chosen output language from a list of more than 180. The free options allow a 10-question quiz without an account, or three quizzes of up to 10 questions each for a free account; account quizzes can use documents of up to 20 pages. Paid tiers add differing character limits and features such as invitation links, timers, editing, API access, and Zapier integration. The Elite plan lists up to 1,500 quiz invitations per month, API access, and Zapier integration. Uploaded files, quizzes, and results are retained while an account exists, though users can request deletion. The listed starting price is $5/mo (annual).
