Brainscape's free tier is limited to a small slice of its "Certified" content, the rest sits behind a Pro subscription.

No. FlashKeepers is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Brainscape Inc. It supports the same kind of confidence-based flashcard review many students already rely on.
Yes. Every deck is free to study. The $7.99 Pro unlock adds extras, it doesn't gate the library itself.
Instead of just flipping the card and rating yourself, you speak your answer out loud. On-device speech recognition transcribes it, and an AI grades whether you actually got it right, with a one-line explanation of what you missed and a suggested spaced-repetition rating.
No. It's a single one-time unlock, $7.99, yours for good, no monthly or annual renewal.
No, never, on the free tier or Pro.
