Graid helps GCSE students revise smarter, not harder. Using AI, Graid generates curriculum-aligned flashcards for all major GCSE subjects — Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, History, Geography and more. Every card is tailored to your exam board and tier, so you're always revising the right content. SMART REVISION THAT ADAPTS TO YOU Graid uses spaced repetition (SM-2) to show you the cards you need to see most. Cards you find easy appear less often. Cards you struggle with come back sooner. Over time, Graid learns what you know — and focuses your revision where it matters most. KNOW WHAT TO FOCUS ON Your progress dashboard shows your recall vs quiz accuracy and highlights the topics you're struggling with most — so every session counts. BUILD A DAILY HABIT Your streak tracks how many days in a row you've revised. Earn badges, climb the weekly league, and stay motivated right through to exam day. TOOLS FOR EXAM CRUNCH Sprint Mode lets you power through all your cards for a subject in one focused session — perfect for the final week before exams. Surprise Me mixes cards from across all your subjects for variety. TWO WAYS TO REVISE Recall Mode — flip the card, think of the answer, rate yourself honestly. Quiz Mode — four options, one correct answer. Great for testing whether you really know it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Eduspot at none against Graid's 2. Eduspot also leads on iOS requirement (12.2 vs 15.1). Graid's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
