FlashLeap vs Mochi

FlashLeap is an Android and iOS flashcard app that turns study material into question-and-answer cards and schedules reviews with spaced repetition. Users can paste notes, type a topic, photograph material, or write cards by hand. AI creates cards at a chosen difficulty, and users can edit them before saving. Cards can also include photos, OCR-scanned textbook pages, voice notes, Apple Pencil sketches, math, and code blocks. Study tools include flexible modes, per-deck accuracy and study-time measures, retention curves, streaks, and streak protection. The app works offline in guest mode; an account is needed for cloud backup or syncing across iPhone and iPad. AI generation runs on a secure server, and the site says submitted text is not stored after the request finishes. The free plan includes core card creation and spaced-repetition study, five AI generations per month, and a per-device deck limit. The listed Pro annual plan costs $14.99 a year and includes unlimited decks, 100 AI generations per month, every study mode, and full analytics; a 7-day free trial is listed. Pro lifetime costs $39.99, paid once with those listed features. Payments and subscription management are handled by Apple.

Mochi is a flashcard and note-taking app for making study materials with Markdown and reviewing them through spaced repetition. It is available on Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android. The Free plan is free forever, does not require sign-up, and includes unlimited cards and decks, import and export, and unlimited offline use. Data stays on the user’s device and syncs when online. Pro adds synchronization of cards and notes across devices, 10 GB of cloud storage for synced materials and attachments, and the ability to publish decks by link or in the deck library. It also includes AI completion, AI integration and language services subject to monthly limits. Limits reset at the start of each calendar month, unused amounts do not carry over, and a service stops when its limit is reached. Pro costs $5 per month when billed annually; monthly Pro is also listed at $5 per month. Documentation and forum support are included, with email support on Pro. After downgrading, cards and notes remain usable offline, but Pro features stop at the billing period’s end.
