Only current provider-owned pages or official app-store listings are used for material price and access claims. Every source records a checked date of 19 August 2026; prices may change after that date. When an exact UK price was hidden behind login, checkout or an upgrade flow, it is marked not publicly verified rather than estimated. The table separates product categories because a general flashcard tool is not a direct substitute for a curriculum-aligned revision platform. Revise Right publishes this index and has a commercial interest; corrections can be requested through its published editorial process.

Revise Right publishes this comparison and is not affiliated with the other platforms named on the page. We encourage students to check live details with every provider.
BBC Bitesize and Physics & Maths Tutor provide free public resources. Seneca and Cognito also describe substantial free access, while Medly offers free textbooks and Learn Mode plus daily-limited AI features. Always check the current provider page for limits.
This table cannot name one universal cheapest platform because products and access limits differ, and several exact UK prices were not publicly verified. Compare only products that cover the same qualification and solve the same revision job.
A price is marked not publicly verified when the checked official pages did not expose a current UK amount without entering a login, purchase or upgrade flow. We do not replace missing prices with third-party estimates.
We review comparison pages during the exam season and when material feature, coverage, or pricing changes are identified. Always confirm current details directly with the provider before buying.
