The Lifetime Subscription (The #1 Hack)
If you are a long-term learner, do not pay monthly or annually. Brainscape offers a Lifetime subscription. It is a one-time payment that is often the most cost-effective option if you plan to use the platform for more than two years.
The 'Cram Session' Strategy
If you only need Brainscape for a specific exam period, subscribe to the monthly plan. Use it intensively to prepare for your test, and then cancel it before the next renewal. This is much cheaper than an annual plan for short-term needs.
Check for Group & Educator Discounts
If you are part of a class or study group, have your teacher or group leader contact Brainscape. They offer significant bulk discounts for educational institutions and groups, which is far cheaper than individual subscriptions.
Pre-Cancellation Safety Checklist
You Keep All Your Created Flashcards
CRITICAL: Any flashcard class or deck you have created is yours forever. You will NOT lose your cards when you cancel Pro. Your hard work is 100% safe.
Your Learning Progress Is Saved
VERY IMPORTANT: Your spaced repetition progress and mastery data for your flashcards are saved to your account. You will not lose this valuable learning history when you revert to the free plan.
You Lose Pro-Only Features
After cancelling, you will lose access to Pro features like unlimited flashcard creation (you'll be limited to 100 cards per class), image/sound uploads, bookmarks, and advanced editing.
Confirm Your Billing Source (Web vs. App Store)
The cancellation process depends on how you paid. If you subscribed on the Brainscape website, you must cancel there. If you subscribed via the Google Play Store or Apple's App Store, you MUST cancel it in your phone's subscription settings.
