Free plan limits
The exact free plan numbers - 300 translations a month, 10,000 cards, 100 decks, 100 tables, 1,000 folders, 100 texts and 10 notebooks.
The free plan limits how much you can create, not how much you can study. Reviews, games and streaks are unlimited on every plan.
The numbers
| Resource | Free plan |
|---|---|
| Machine translations | 300 per month |
| Cards, in total | 10,000 |
| Decks | 100 |
| Tables | 100 |
| Folders | 1,000 |
| Texts | 100 |
| Notebooks | 10 |
Premium removes all of these, subject to reasonable use.
Public decks on the free plan also get text-to-speech audio for their cards. Private-deck audio, text audio, and the Audio game stay Premium.
Two extras that apply on both plans: a single translation request is limited to 1,000 characters, and PDF uploads are 20 MB each.
When you reach a limit
You keep full access to everything you already have. Only new creation pauses:
- Translations reset at the start of each month, so waiting is a real option.
- Cards, tables, folders, texts and notebooks need you to delete something or upgrade.
The messages are specific about where you stand. Adding a batch of cards that would cross the limit tells you how many you can still add, rather than failing outright - so a large import can be trimmed to fit.
Checking your usage
Your Plan shows live meters for translations this month, decks, cards, tables, folders, texts and notebooks. Worth a look before starting a big import.
Getting more out of the free plan
- 10,000 cards is a lot. If you're approaching it, a good part of it is probably vocabulary you already know from saved public decks. Delete those decks, or mark the items Learnt in your vocabulary.
- Translate selectively. Only look up the word actually blocking you, and type meanings you already know rather than translating them.
- Reuse decks instead of duplicating them. Editing a deck costs nothing; another copy of it counts against your totals twice.
- Texts are cheap. 100 texts is far more reading material than most learners get through, so use them freely.
