Anki pioneered spaced repetition for a generation of learners. Pratiquer takes the same proven science and rebuilds it for 2026 — a smarter algorithm, real linguistic AI, and tools for whole classrooms. Here's exactly how they stack up.

PratiquerComparison reflects out-of-the-box capabilities. Anki is extraordinarily extensible through community add-ons — many gaps above can be closed with configuration and third-party plugins. Where a capability needs a paid tier elsewhere, it's included free with the relevant Pratiquer account during the beta.
Anki's SM-2 dates back to the 1980s and reschedules with fixed multipliers. FSRS v5 models the actual shape of your forgetting curve for every card.
No plugins, no API keys to wire up. Gender, part of speech, synonyms and context arrive the moment you type a word.
Beginners recognise; experts produce. Pratiquer moves you from multiple-choice to typing automatically as your stability rises.
Anki is a solo tool. Pratiquer is a platform — rosters, enrollment, differentiated paths and per-deck rules built in.
Our importer reads native .apkg files — cards, media and study progress included — so years of reviews come with you. No starting over.
File → Export → Anki Deck Package (.apkg), with media and scheduling.
Drag the file in. We preserve your symmetric card structure and progress.
Run Expert Analysis to add gender, POS, context and synonyms across the deck.
And it works both ways — if Pratiquer isn't right for you, learners and educators alike can export any deck straight back to Anki .apkg, media and progress included. No lock-in, ever.
We love Anki — Pratiquer wouldn't exist without it. If these matter most to you, Anki is a fantastic choice.
Anki is free on desktop and fully open source, with a one-time fee only on iOS. Hard to beat on price.
Two decades of community plugins mean there's an Anki tweak for almost any workflow imaginable.
Your collection lives on your machine. For privacy purists who want full local ownership, that's ideal.
Import a deck, study ten cards, and feel how a modern engine schedules your next review.
