Quick answer: Keep AnkiHub if live AnKing (or other shared-deck) sync is non-negotiable. Choose Neurako if you want a modern FSRS UI and AI card creation after a one-time Anki import — we do not offer live AnKing sync.
AnkiHub solved a real med-school problem: collaborative updates to huge decks like AnKing. That live sync is their moat. This page is an honest AnkiHub alternative framing — not a claim that Neurako replaces subscription deck updates.
Prices dated September 2026 from AnkiHub public pricing: Core $6/month, yearly $66, Lifetime $450. Neurako Pro is $6.99/month or $59.99/year. Free Neurako limits: 25 AI units, 50 decks, 1,000 cards; Pro: 500 / 500 / 10,000.
What AnkiHub is for
- Live collaborative updates to shared medical decks
- Staying on Anki's desktop ecosystem with add-ons and note types
- Paying Core (or Lifetime) so deck maintainers push changes to you
If that is your workflow, AnkiHub still wins. Neurako will not pretend otherwise.
What Neurako is for
- A mobile-first FSRS review UI without a $24.99 AnkiMobile gate for day-to-day study
- AI cards from photos, lectures, and notes within plan limits
- Importing your Anki text cards once via tools, then studying in Neurako
The Neurako import path (not live sync)
- Export or download an
.apkgyou are allowed to use. - Convert with the free apkg-to-csv tool.
- Open the cards in Neurako and review with FSRS.
What transfers: card text (and structure the converter supports). What does not: live AnKing update feeds, full review history parity, and every media/note-type edge case. Cloze-heavy decks may need a cleanup pass.
There is no claim of live AnKing sync in Neurako. If you need pushes from deck authors every week, stay on AnkiHub + Anki.
Price comparison (Sept 2026)
| AnkiHub | Neurako | |
|---|---|---|
| Core / Pro monthly | $6/mo Core | $6.99/mo Pro |
| Yearly | $66 Core | $59.99 Pro |
| Lifetime | $450 | No lifetime SKU |
| Product bet | Live shared-deck sync | FSRS UI + AI capture |
AnkiHub Lifetime at $450 has drawn mixed med-student discussion; treat it as a sync product purchase, not a generic flashcard app fee.
Who should use which?
Stay on AnkiHub if AnKing (or another subscribed deck) must stay current without re-importing.
Try Neurako if you already have an exported deck snapshot, care more about daily mobile review and AI capture, and accept that future AnKing updates will not stream in automatically.
Use both if you keep AnkiHub for the subscribed medical deck on desktop Anki, and use Neurako for lecture photos and personal vocab.
