Active Recall looks compelling but it makes me uncomfortable that it says "try for free" but there's no mention of pricing that I could find. What's the planned business model? As a user of Anki for multiple years now, longevity with these products is pretty important to me.
Hey! This will turn into a subscription service at some point but I’m still working out the exact pricing model. Any data that you put into the system however will always be available to you and exportable regardless of if you decide to pay or not. This is mentioned in an email when you sign up but I realize that the communication could be better around this.
Separately, it's pretty surprising to me to see the very first review by the "VP of Engineering at Shopify" without mentioning the fact that they are an investor in Active Recall. [0] Feels like this is counter to the FTC's rules on endorsements.
Dion was using the product long before he invested and it’s not something that we’ve been trying to explicitly hide (as you saw on his LinkedIn profile). I have updated the review to state that he’s an investor. Thank you for calling this out.
