AvaStudy

A Membean alternative you can point at any word list

Membean is a subscription vocabulary program with its own fixed word sets. AvaStudy turns whatever list you actually need — the class set, SAT words, a novel’s terms — into 11 study games, free to start.

The biggest difference

With Membean

Membean’s spaced-repetition vocabulary training is well built, but it runs on its own curriculum and word lists, it is a paid subscription, and it usually comes through a school rather than something a student picks up on their own.

With AvaStudy

AvaStudy works from your list, not a fixed curriculum. Upload the words and it builds 11 game modes with confidence-scored repetition that re-drills what you miss — and the first 3 guides are free.
