Revizly vs Nomad Education: who really turns your courses into sheets?
Since November 2025, Nomad AI makes the same promise as Revizly: course photo → sheets, quizzes, summaries. The differences are in the details that matter: quotas, content expiry, price.
Nomad Education wins if you want a teacher-written catalog and orientation guidance. Revizly wins for generating materials from YOUR courses: a real free quota, content that never disappears, built-in spaced repetition, and unlimited at a third of the price.
The detail that changes everything: your sheets don't disappear
Nomad AI (free)
1 free generation every 30 days, and free-tier content expires after 30 days (Nomad Education support page, checked August 2026). Spaced repetition on content that erases itself is structurally impossible.
Revizly (free)
2 full courses per month, kept with no time limit. Your September flashcards are still there for February's mock exam and June's final — that is the whole point of spaced repetition.

AI generation from your course
| Feature | Revizly | Nomad AI | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| PDF / photo / text → sheets | Same core promise: both generate from a course document. | ||

Editorial content & guidance
| Feature | Revizly | Nomad AI | Details |
|---|---|---|---|

| Orientation guidance | Nomad offers orientation modules. Outside Revizly's scope. | ||
| Higher ed: your own lectures | Nomad covers tracks via its catalog; Revizly transforms any lecture since it's yours. |
Pricing (as of August 2026)

Conclusion
Nomad Education is a respected company: fifteen years of history, a catalog written by hundreds of teachers, a well-liked app. If you need a turnkey course or orientation help, it delivers.
But on the 'turn YOUR courses into study materials' promise, Nomad AI's free-tier conditions (1 generation per month, content erased at 30 days) and the price of unlimited (€29.99/month) make the comparison clear: Revizly offers 2 free full courses monthly, keeps your content forever, ships spaced repetition — and unlimited costs €8.99.
Frequently asked questions
Is Nomad AI free?
Partially. As of August 2026, according to Nomad Education's support page, the free version of Nomad AI allows 1 generation every 30 days, and free-tier content expires after 30 days. Unlimited access requires the Nomad+ subscription at €29.99/month.
Does Revizly content expire like Nomad AI's?
No. On Revizly, generated sheets, flashcards and quizzes — including on the free plan — remain accessible with no time limit. This matters for spaced repetition: content that vanishes after 30 days is incompatible with long-term memorization.
What is the price difference?
As of August 2026: Revizly offers a free plan (2 full courses/month), an Essentiel plan at €5.99/month (20 courses/month) and Premium at €8.99/month (unlimited). Unlimited Nomad AI requires Nomad+ at €29.99/month — 3 to 5 times more expensive than Revizly's paid plans.
Isn't Nomad Education more complete?
On editorial content, yes: Nomad Education offers courses and quizzes written by 300-400 teachers, orientation guidance, and a well-rated app (4.6★, 58,000 reviews). Revizly makes the opposite bet: starting from YOUR course rather than generic content — because your course is what you'll be tested on.
Do Nomad AI and Revizly do the same thing?
The promise is similar: photo or PDF → summaries, sheets, quizzes (Nomad AI launched in November 2025 on this exact promise). The practical differences are the free quota (1 generation/30 days vs 2 full courses/month), content persistence (30-day expiry vs unlimited retention), built-in FSRS spaced repetition on Revizly's side, and the price of unlimited (€29.99 vs €8.99/month).
