The bottom four rows are the honest cost of buying from a new product. If those matter more to you than the top five, buy the other thing. We would rather you did that than churn in a term.
The short version
Three sentences
Against story platforms
They give a class good reading and no memory model, so what a student forgets is gone. We give the same reading plus the thing that decides whether it stays.
Against flashcard apps
They have the scheduler and leave the hard part, the first meeting and the content, entirely to you. We ship the hooks, the words and the stories.
Against streak apps
They are very good at getting you to open the app. They are not built to get a class through a curriculum, and they will not tell a teacher anything.
