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.

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