What it is
Gizmo is a flashcard and quiz app for studying. Its help center says you can create cards and decks, quiz yourself in its Memorise mode, and use Magic Import to create decks. It also lists an AI Tutor, a practice test and Gizmo Live among its features. Its privacy notice says you can use Gizmo from inside ChatGPT, where ChatGPT writes flashcards and sends them to Gizmo as a new private deck.
Is it free
Yes, with limits. Gizmo's help center answers "Is it free?" with: "Yes, you can create unlimited cards and decks and do unlimited quizzing for free." The limits it lists: if you lose 15 lives (Hearts) while quizzing you wait 10 minutes before you can quiz again, and you can make only 2 decks a day with Magic Import, with a 20-minute wait between imports. The AI Tutor is marked "Limited" on the Free plan. The paid Unlimited plan removes these limits and is sold as a yearly plan (pay once for 365 days) or a weekly plan. We did not find a price on the help pages we read, so none is quoted here. A student discount may be available.
Is it available in India
The public help and privacy pages loaded during our check. This does not confirm India account access, app availability or local payment support. We did not test those. No INR price is quoted because the help pages do not give a paid price; check the actual purchase screen for currency, taxes, renewal and cancellation terms before paying.
How to try it
- Read the privacy notice and confirm you meet the age rules first. The notice prohibits under-13 use. If acceptable, follow Gizmo's free-account route, without choosing Unlimited or a paid trial.
- Make a small deck by hand using non-sensitive notes you own, or use Magic Import (2 a day, 20-minute gap on Free). Read and correct the cards against your original notes before studying.
- Quiz yourself in Memorise mode and watch your Hearts. Review wrong answers against your textbook or course material; AI-created cards are not an official answer key.
Limits and privacy to know
- Gizmo's detailed privacy notice says that in some cases it may use your personal information to train the models that power its AI features, and that this includes fine-tuning and testing. We did not find a clear opt-out on the pages we read.
- For the ChatGPT integration, the notice says a deck created that way sits in an account controlled by Gizmo and stays private, but the link it returns lets anyone who opens it view and edit the deck. Share that link only with people you want to have that access.
- AiCoN advice: do not put private notes, ID details or confidential work into any study app unless you have read its privacy notice.
- The privacy notice says your first name, school and profile photo may be visible to other users. Check account visibility settings. A follower request exposes your profile to its recipient even if your profile is private.
- Integration decks are not automatically deleted. The notice says to request deletion by emailing support@gizmo.ai with the deck link. Removing the integration does not itself delete the stored deck. Data erasure has legal and retention exceptions.
- We did not create an account, import notes, use the integration or complete a quiz.
Frequently asked questions
Is Gizmo free?
Yes. Unlimited cards, decks and quizzing are free. Quizzing is paused for 10 minutes after you lose 15 Hearts, and Magic Import is limited to 2 a day.
Does unlimited quizzing mean no waiting?
No. The Free plan pauses quizzing for 10 minutes after you lose 15 Hearts. Unlimited manual cards and decks do not remove that wait or the daily Magic Import cap.
Is an integration deck link private?
It is not listed publicly, but anyone who opens the returned link can view and edit the deck. Treat the link as access, not a harmless reference.
