What you get on the Free plan
The free plan is built to actually be usable, not to nudge you to upgrade. You can study a full subject on it.
- Up to 5 lectures or uploads per month. Record live in the browser, or upload audio (MP3, MP4, M4A), PDFs, or slide decks.
- Unlimited flashcards and quizzes. Spaced repetition built in. Quizzes are marked instantly with feedback on exactly where you went wrong.
- AI tutor with 30 messages per day. Every answer cites the exact slide, page or lecture timestamp it came from.
- 2 podcasts per month. Two AI hosts narrate your notes as a 10 to 15 minute conversation.
- No credit card required. Sign up with email and start studying.
What Pro adds for AUD $14.99 / month
Pro removes the caps. Everything else, including the citation-grounded tutor and the privacy guarantees, stays the same.
- Unlimited lectures and uploads. For students taking three or more units in a semester.
- Unlimited AI tutor messages. No daily cap.
- Unlimited podcasts. Generate one per lecture if you want.
- Priority access to the latest AI models. Pro users get newer model versions first as they roll out.

Privacy and billing
- Your content is yours. Never sold, never used to train shared models, never shown to anyone else.
- Stripe handles billing. Cognia AI never sees your card details.
- No third-party analytics or advertising. We do not run ad pixels or sell data.
