Cogni vs Jambo

Cogni combines study notes, AI-generated flashcards and spaced-repetition reviews. It can make editable question-and-answer or cloze cards from text, PDFs, web pages and photos of notes. Notes support headings, bold, highlights, lists and images, and cards created from a note remain linked to it. During review, learners rate cards Again, Hard, Medium or Easy; Cogni adjusts each card’s review schedule based on those ratings. Progress views show daily streaks, retention by deck, cards due tomorrow and a forecast of upcoming weeks. Cogni is available on the web and in Android and iOS apps. The mobile apps support offline review and sync reviews across web and mobile when the device reconnects. The mobile app can import Anki .apkg decks, including subdecks, cloze cards and media, but does not transfer review history. Free access includes notes, spaced repetition, device sync and Anki import, subject to a daily review limit. Cogni says it does not sell study content or personal information, use study content for third-party ads, or use notes and cards to train a Cogni model.

Jambo is a flashcard app for language learning and exam revision, with spaced repetition, translation, and AI-assisted card creation. Its Slam review schedule uses fixed intervals of 1, 3, 7, 14, and 30 days. Card generation can start from a prompt, pasted text, a URL, or an uploaded PDF. The built-in Translator supports 30 languages and can save results to a selected deck; free translations use Gemini, while paid tiers also offer DeepL for longer translations. Every tier supports CSV export, and Sushi adds Anki.apkg export with spaced-repetition progress. Coffee and Sushi include ElevenLabs audio plays with daily limits. Class Mode lets teachers share decks with students invited by email, and updates preserve student progress. Jambo is available on Android, iOS, and the web, and the maker says there are no ads on any tier. The free plan allows 2,000 cards, 15 decks, five AI generations per day, and 100 translations per day. A 14-day trial is also listed.
