Choose your learning adventure

Yes, and it needs no card. Free gives you 2 study sets, and they are a one-off allowance for the account rather than a monthly refill, so it is a proper trial rather than a plan to live on. That is enough to upload something real, see the questions GeniusPal writes from it, and decide whether the output is worth paying for. A free set is 10 questions and runs as a scored quiz, which is the mode that tells you where you actually stand. Flashcards, written active recall, and sets of up to 30 questions arrive with Student at $14.99 a month or Genius at $59.99 a year. The boundary to know before you start: because the 2 never refill, spend them on material you genuinely need to be tested on. Sets you generate on Free stay in your account permanently, whether or not you ever upgrade.

One upload turned into one set of questions: 10 on Free, up to 30 on a paid plan, which also reads proportionally more of your document in one go. Every set runs as a scored quiz. A paid plan additionally runs the same questions as flashcards and as written active recall, with no extra generation spent to switch between them, so one set can be worked three different ways for the price of one. You only spend another set when you generate a fresh one. Re-sitting a quiz, redrilling the questions you got wrong, flipping the same deck again, and reading back an old set all cost nothing. Re-uploading a document you have already used does not reset it either: GeniusPal recognises the same material by its text and carries on into the next section rather than regenerating the pages you have already been tested on.

Because Genius is billed once a year and Student is billed monthly, so a year of Student comes to more than a year of Genius. That is deliberate, and it is not a pricing mistake: we would rather have you for a year at $59.99 than for two months at $14.99. Student exists for people who want a term, or a single exam season, without committing to a year. Genius is the better deal by a wide margin if you are studying across two semesters, and the pricing page shows it as $5.00 a month so the two are directly comparable. The catch is the one every annual plan has: Genius is charged once, up front, for the whole year. If a year is longer than you can see ahead, Student is the honest choice.

It means a ceiling you will not hit while studying normally, rather than a literally infinite one. Genius allows 1000 study sets a month, which works out at more than thirty a day, every day. The cap exists to stop automated abuse rather than to ration you, and we would rather name the number here than hide it behind the word. For scale, 1000 sets at up to 30 questions each is tens of thousands of questions a month, which is more material than a full degree year contains. The ceiling refills at the start of each calendar month like any paid allowance. If you ever do reach it, that is a conversation to have with us rather than a wall we leave you standing at, because the only traffic it was built to stop is a script.

Any time, from your billing settings, and you keep everything you paid for until the end of the period you have already been charged for. Study sets you have already generated stay in your account after a plan ends, so cancelling does not take your revision material away. Cancelling stops the next renewal rather than ending the current one immediately, which means a Student cancellation leaves you paid up to the end of that month and a Genius cancellation to the end of that year. The one thing that does change at the end of the period is what your existing sets can do: quiz stays available on Free, while flashcards and written active recall are paid modes, so a set you studied as cards goes back to running as a scored quiz until you resubscribe.
