Klarrity vs Knowt: Extension vs All-in-One (2026)
Knowt is the most app-like option here: a web app, phone apps, and its own review system, so nothing has to leave. Klarrity is deliberately smaller — it writes the cards, then gets out of the way.
Knowt is the better pick if you want one app for writing, storing and reviewing, especially on a phone. Klarrity is the better pick if your review queue already exists somewhere else and you want the writing step to stop costing you evenings. On price, Klarrity's free tier is 5 a day with no card and Pro is $7 a month; Knowt's Basic is free and Ultra is $24.99 a month.

What each one is good at.
Klarrity
In its favour
- 5 generations a day, free, with no card asked for
- Anki .apkg export on the free tier, so the cards are portable from day one
- Clip-based YouTube capture: the 30 seconds you rewound, not the whole video
- Klarrify quizzes you first and writes cards only on what you missed
Against it
- Chrome only — no phone app for reviewing on the way to class
- No review system of its own; cards are made to be exported
- Quizlet, Notion and Obsidian export are Pro, at $7 a month or $49 a year
- Knowt's Basic plan is free with no daily generation cap published; Klarrity's free tier is 5 a day
Knowt
In its favour
- Basic is free, and knowt.com/plans lists notes, flashcards and study modes on it
- Its own study modes, so cards can be reviewed without exporting
- Phone apps as well as the web app
- Multiple-choice and hint options on cards
Against it
- Ultra is $24.99 a month, or $149.99 a year — the highest published figure on this page
- knowt.com/plans names no export targets, so moving cards out is not something we can describe
- Its review system is its own, not Anki's FSRS
- The free plan's generation limits are not printed on the plans page
Questions
- Knowt has a free plan — why pay for Klarrity?
- You do not have to. Klarrity's free tier is 5 generations a day with no card, and includes Anki, CSV and clipboard export. Pro at $7 a month buys the daily cap lift, image capture, YouTube Study Klips, Klarrify, and Quizlet, Notion and Obsidian export.
- Should I review in Knowt or export to Anki?
- If you do not already run Anki, reviewing inside one app is simpler and Knowt does that. If you have an Anki collection with years of scheduling in it, Klarrity's AnkiConnect send keeps everything in that one queue.
- Does Klarrity have a mobile app?
- No. It is a Chrome extension, because that is where the reading happens. For phone review, export to Anki or Quizlet, both of which have apps.
- What does Knowt cost?
- knowt.com/plans printed Basic as free, Ultra at $24.99 a month, and Ultra annual at $12.49 a month billed upfront at $149.99, when it was read on 2026-09-02.
- Can Klarrity read a YouTube lecture?
- Yes, on Pro. Study Klips takes a range — the last 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 2 minutes, or a range you set — and every card it writes links back to that moment in the video.
