Pros
  • Truly open source (MIT) with a very active contributor base
  • Unifies almost every major LLM provider in one UI with BYO keys
  • Enterprise auth (OAuth, SAML, LDAP, 2FA) out of the box
  • Agents, artifacts, code interpreter, MCP, and web search included
  • Mature Docker deployment with 40M+ pulls
  • Eliminates the worst part of SRS: hand-authoring cards
  • Native MCP hooks into Claude and ChatGPT for inline capture
  • Modern FSRS scheduling, not legacy SM-2
  • Offline PWA with cross-device sync
  • Cheap Pro tier at $8/mo
Cons
  • Self-hosting overhead: Docker, Mongo, Meilisearch, RAG API to operate
  • No official managed cloud — you handle uptime and upgrades
  • Code interpreter sandbox is a paid add-on for hosted execution
  • UI/UX polish trails the best proprietary chat apps in spots
  • Anki sync is one-way only
  • Free tier capped at 30 AI notes per month
  • AI-generated cards still need human review for accuracy
  • Smaller ecosystem than Anki's plugin world
