All the flashcards, none of Chegg's monthly bundle.
Chegg's Study and Study Pack plans run roughly $14.95 to $19.95 a month for a bundle of textbook solutions, Expert Q&A, an AI math solver, and flashcards. If flashcards and quizzes are really what you need, MindLoad does that one thing with AI, using pay-as-you-go tokens instead of a subscription and no credit card required to start.
5 free tokens on signup. No credit card, no subscription, nothing to cancel.

Switching from Chegg, answered.
How much does Chegg cost compared to MindLoad?
Chegg's Study and Study Pack plans are typically listed around $14.95 to $19.95 a month, billed whether or not you use the flashcard tool that month, and its free trial requires a credit card and auto-renews if not cancelled. MindLoad has no subscription: 5 free tokens on signup, and small token packs start under $2, spent only when you generate a new AI study set.
Does Chegg do more than flashcards?
Yes, and that is the core tradeoff. Chegg bundles flashcards and practice questions with textbook solutions, an AI math solver, a writing checker, and Expert Q&A across a broad subscription. MindLoad is focused specifically on turning your own PDFs, notes, scans, and lectures into flashcards and quizzes.
Can I import my Chegg flashcards into MindLoad?
MindLoad does not currently offer a one-click Chegg import. Upload the same notes, PDF, or textbook pages you were studying in Chegg and MindLoad's AI will generate a fresh, editable set. Quizlet and Anki decks can be imported directly.
Does MindLoad require a credit card or trial to start?
No. Sign up with Apple, Google, or email and get 5 free tokens immediately, no credit card and no trial period that auto-renews into a paid plan.
Can I study offline with MindLoad?
Yes. Once a study set is generated, flashcards and quizzes work fully offline on iOS and Android. Only generating new AI sets requires an internet connection.
No bundle. No card required.
Free to try on iOS and Android. Upload the material you already have and start studying in under a minute.
5 free tokens included. No subscription, and nothing to cancel later.
