Insanely expensive. 18$ usd per month?? I’m going to guess it’s also an Electron monstrosity

RemNote founder here - the free version has unlimited cards and notes!
You can upgrade to the Pro version for $10/month if you want tables, PDF uploads, and more.
The $18 version is our most expensive plan that includes AI credits as well.

It’s amazing how many people try to make an inferior clone of Anki and profit off of it. The only people who ever fall for it are ones with low computer literacy.
The majority of the population has low computer literacy
Yup.
As H. L. Mencken observed in 1926 [0]: "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the North American public."
Perhaps there should be an event next year to note the centenary of that astute observation, which seems to have aged quite well.
What about this is inferior? I'm a software developer (that is to say, not low in computer literacy), and I've bounced off Anki a few times, the UX is terrible. I haven't used RemNote any more than you have, but unlike Anki it seems actually care about reducing UI friction.
It's not an Anki clone and I don't have low computer literacy. I'm a senior staff ML engineer at a large public company. I don't have the time or patience that Anki requires to make it a passable product. Not a childless student without real responsibilities and all the time in the world.

It also appears to require an account even for local-only use. It’s nice to see any kind of local support, but making an account mandatory renders that feature somewhat moot. I understand requiring an account for syncing (Anki does this too), but otherwise there’s not much of a good reason for it.
