Pricing

3 answers

Is Swiftflip free?

Yes. Core features like spaced repetition, practice, import and export are free forever. Create as many decks and cards as you want, completely free. Premium adds extra niceties like Smart Decks, but key functionality is never gated behind a subscription.

Premium is available as monthly, yearly or lifetime purchase. Subscribe and manage your plan through the App Store. If your subscription ends, you keep all your decks and cards but lose access to premium features like Smart Decks and unlimited content until you resubscribe.
