# Flash Cards Flashcards Maker vs Knowt

The clearest difference is ads: Knowt at none against Flash Cards Flashcards Maker's shown. Knowt also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and chart position (#78 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flash Cards Flashcards Maker sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Knowt sells 27 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Knowt holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 18K and 11K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Flash Cards Flashcards Maker's written reviews are positive against 62% of Knowt's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Flash Cards Flashcards Maker ships an update every 9 days, Knowt weekly. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
