Lernoa vs Mochi

Lernoa is a study application for turning documents or topics into structured courses and for building, importing, and studying flashcard decks. Upload a PDF or DOCX, or enter a topic, and it can create chapters, quizzes, and a final exam. AI features include summaries, flashcards, quizzes, and narrated audio with read-along highlighting. Course and document chat answers are based on the supplied material and include source citations, within a small daily question allowance. Review uses an Anki-style SM-2 scheduler and retires cards recalled reliably over long intervals. Anki and CSV decks can be imported, decks exported as CSV, and courses moved in Markdown or text formats. Lernoa connects to Claude, ChatGPT, and other Model Context Protocol assistants; generation uses credits. The first chapter of each course is free, while later chapters cost one credit each. It runs on Android, iOS, and the web, with a free plan and no free trial.

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.
