Rent versus a one-time iPhone app
Quizlet is sets you search, share, and cram. Anki is spaced repetition you build. Medical and language decks live in Anki. Last-week vocabulary lives in Quizlet. Swapping because Japan is ¥900 is how you lose a year of cards.
Desktop Anki is free and syncs through AnkiWeb. You pay AnkiMobile when you want the official iPhone client. That is a platform tax, not a “Pro” tier. AnkiDroid is a different client.
How you pay
Both dated cells are App Store prices. Quizlet also bills on the web; we have not dated a web Plus sticker here. Buy AnkiMobile on the Apple ID you will actually use — licenses do not hop countries with a VPN.
A tunnel cannot make desktop Anki cost money, and it cannot make Plus a lifetime plan.
