Our take
Pick Knowt if you're students who will stay on Free for unlimited sets and only buy Ultra when they need more than one AI summary a month. Pick LingQ if you're self-directed learners who will read and listen every day. Skip LingQ if you're people who want a speaking score (ELSA Speak) or a kanji SRS (WaniKani).
