12 Best Quizlet Alternatives & Competitors (2026)

Anki is the most widely used cross-platform spaced repetition system built on the same SM-2 algorithm that powers CleverDeck. It offers completely free desktop and Android apps plus a paid iOS app, massive user-shared language decks, and powerful add-ons. Unlike CleverDeck's curated 3000-word sets, Anki relies on community content and requires more initial setup, but it works on every device and has no subscription cost for core use.

Padlet offers collaborative boards where students can post video or audio responses. It is flexible for creative projects but provides fewer grading and reuse features than Lingt’s purpose-built assessment tools for schools tracking fluency progress.

Flipgrid is a video discussion platform widely used in K-12 classrooms for student video responses. It emphasizes topic-based prompts and peer interaction rather than structured teacher-created assignments with reusable templates. While it supports easy mobile recording, it offers less emphasis on private graded submissions and year-to-year assessment reuse compared with Lingt’s focused workflow for oral proficiency tracking.

Duolingo delivers gamified language lessons with built-in spaced repetition rather than pure flashcards. It is free with ads or optional Super Duolingo subscription and covers many of the same languages as CleverDeck. While it lacks CleverDeck's focused vocabulary decks and native audio quality, it adds speaking and listening exercises that appeal to users wanting more than rote memorization.

Kahoot! is a game-based platform mainly for quick quizzes and polls. Its live format does not support the asynchronous, recorded speaking submissions and individualized feedback that language teachers create in Lingt.

VoiceThread enables multimedia presentations with voice and video commentary, popular in higher education for asynchronous discussions. It provides strong annotation tools but requires more setup time than Lingt’s drag-and-drop assignment builder. Pricing is typically subscription-based, making it suitable for departments already invested in broader digital storytelling projects.

Memrise combines user-generated and official language courses with spaced repetition and mnemonic techniques. Available on iOS and Android, it offers both free and Pro tiers. Compared with CleverDeck it provides broader course variety and community content but less emphasis on polished 3000-word core vocabulary decks with consistent native audio.

Schoology is a full learning management system that includes quiz and discussion features adaptable to speaking tasks. It integrates deeply with district SIS systems but lacks Lingt’s specialized speaking-only interface and quick assessment reuse. Larger schools may choose it when they need one platform for all subject areas rather than a dedicated language tool.

Google Classroom allows teachers to post video assignments and collect student recordings via Drive. It is free and widely adopted yet offers minimal built-in feedback or rubric tools compared with Lingt’s streamlined review queue. Many educators use it alongside dedicated speaking apps when budget is the primary constraint.

SuperMemo pioneered the SM-2 algorithm and offers advanced scheduling on Windows with mobile companions. It is paid software aimed at power users. Unlike CleverDeck's simple iOS focus and ready language content, SuperMemo provides deeper customization at the cost of a steeper learning curve and limited mobile polish.
