Each calendar month: 25 AI generation runs, 750 AI-graded answers, and 300 covers. One run processes one submitted source through generation and review; adding another file uses another run. Allowances reset on the first of each month at 00:00 UTC, including during the seven-day trial. After a limit, keep studying, use free BYOAI imports, and self-check written answers. Manual cards and core study stay unlimited.

What to expect

Every Trustpilot complaint people leave about the other apps should be impossible to leave about us.

A trial with no automatic charge

New accounts get 7 days of Premium with no card and no auto-enrollment — when it ends you simply move to Free. You are only ever charged after entering payment details yourself.

Keep studying your existing cards

Anything you made or studied stays free to study forever, even if you downgrade. We will never lock you out of your own work.

Study with the Free plan

No ads. Manual cards, studying, and BYOAI prompts remain useful without a paid plan.

Renewal reminders and flexible cancellation

We email you 5 days and 1 day before every renewal, with the amount and the date. Cancel any time from your Alca account, linked from Settings — it takes effect at the end of the period you already paid for.

Premium is a subscription that covers ongoing AI generation and grading costs. You can continue studying your existing cards on Free.
