# Spaced Repetition SmartCards+ vs Flashcards Maker

Both are free to download. Spaced Repetition SmartCards+ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Flashcards Maker sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
