Anki (2006) is a much more established software than NeuraCache (2019). Being so long in the market has both pros (feature set, plugins, community) and cons (aesthetic, speed of development, integrations) NeuraCache tries to address these problems by providing β€” ease of use, beautiful design, and direct coupling with second brains (Obsidian, Notion, Evernote, Logseq, OneNote). Whatever app you choose, you won't regret it as you invest time in one of the most precious aspects of your life β€” Learning. We recommend starting with NeuraCache πŸ’œ β€” only because it's so easy to try it out. It's free, and there is no need to signup for an account. Just start using it. And if you find that its feature set is limiting β€” try Anki πŸ‘Œ Happy Learning 🧠
