Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds analytics, but the free plan is genuinely free forever. We make money from the small percentage of students who choose to upgrade — not from selling data or ads.

Every question is written against the published CIE IGCSE Literature in English syllabus and reviewed for accuracy before being added to the bank.

Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes so students learn exactly what marks are being awarded for.
