Quizlet Plus is a paid tier that removes ads and adds offline study tools

Quizlet Plus is Quizlet's monthly subscription. It costs $11.99 per month when paid monthly, or $59.99 per year if you pay annually (which works out to about $5 per month). The main features are no ads, offline access to your study sets, and a few extra study modes that free users do not have.

You do not need Quizlet Plus to use Quizlet. The free version lets you create and study flashcards, take tests, and use most study modes. Quizlet Plus is for people who study frequently and want a cleaner experience without interruptions.

Key Takeaways

  • Quizlet Plus costs $11.99 per month or $59.99 per year, with no contract — you can cancel anytime.
  • The main benefit is removing ads; offline mode lets you download sets to study without internet.
  • Extra study modes (Ceiling Fan, Learn, and others) are available only to Plus subscribers.
  • Students may get a discount through their school if the school has a Quizlet institutional license.
  • Free Quizlet works for most study needs; Plus is optional and not required to learn.

What features come with Quizlet Plus

The core feature is ad removal. Free Quizlet shows banner ads and video ads between study sessions. Plus removes all of them. For people who study for 30 minutes or more at a time, this means fewer interruptions.

Offline mode lets you download your study sets to your phone or computer and study without an internet connection. This is useful if you commute, travel, or study in places without reliable wifi. You can download as many sets as your device storage allows.

Plus subscribers also get access to extra study modes. The exact modes vary, but typically include Ceiling Fan (a game-like mode), Learn (an adaptive mode that focuses on cards you struggle with), and sometimes Match or other games. Free users have access to Flashcards, Test, and Speller, but not these additional modes.

Quizlet Plus also includes progress tracking and the ability to see detailed statistics about which cards you know well and which ones you need to review more. Free users see basic progress, but Plus gives you more detailed breakdowns.

Pricing and payment options

Quizlet Plus has two payment plans. Monthly costs $11.99 and renews every 30 days. Annual costs $59.99 and renews every 12 months. You can switch between plans or cancel at any time — there is no lock-in period or cancellation fee.

Quizlet accepts credit cards, debit cards, and PayPal. If you pay monthly and later switch to annual, Quizlet will prorate the cost so you do not overpay. If you cancel mid-month, your access continues until the end of your billing period.

Some schools and universities have institutional Quizlet licenses. If your school has one, you may be able to use Quizlet Plus features for free or at a reduced price. Check with your school's IT department or learning technology office to see if this is available to you.

How to start a Quizlet Plus subscription

You need a free Quizlet account first. Go to Quizlet.com, create an account with your email, and verify your email address. Then log in and look for the "Upgrade" or "Go Plus" button, usually in the top right corner or in your account settings.

Click the upgrade button and choose your payment plan (monthly or annual). Enter your payment information and confirm. Your subscription will activate immediately, and you will see a confirmation email. You can start using offline mode and ad-free study right away.

If you are on the Quizlet mobile app (iOS or Android), you can also upgrade from the app. Tap your profile icon, go to Settings, and look for the subscription option. The process is the same: choose your plan and enter payment details.

Canceling Quizlet Plus

You can cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Log into Quizlet, go to your account or settings menu, find the subscription section, and select "Cancel Subscription." Quizlet will ask you to confirm, and your cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period.

After you cancel, you keep access to Plus features until your billing period ends. Once it ends, you revert to the free version. Your study sets and progress are not deleted — you just lose ad-free mode and offline access.

If you cancel and later want to resubscribe, you can do so anytime. Quizlet does not penalize you for canceling and restarting.

Is Quizlet Plus worth it

Whether Quizlet Plus is worth the cost depends on how much you study and how much ads bother you. If you use Quizlet a few times a week for short sessions, the free version is probably enough. If you study daily for long periods, or if you need offline access (for example, during a commute), Plus may be worth it.

The annual plan ($59.99) is better value than the monthly plan ($11.99 × 12 = $143.88). If you think you will use Quizlet for at least six months, the annual plan saves you money.

Keep in mind that Quizlet Plus does not teach you the material — it just removes ads and adds study tools. The quality of your learning depends on how well you use the flashcards and study modes, not on whether you pay. Many students study effectively with free Quizlet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Quizlet Plus on multiple devices?

Yes. Your subscription is tied to your Quizlet account, not to a single device. You can log into your account on your phone, tablet, and computer, and use Plus features on all of them. Offline sets download separately to each device.

What happens to my study sets if I cancel?

Your sets stay in your account. You do not lose them. You just lose ad-free mode and offline access. If you resubscribe later, your sets are still there and you can use Plus features again.

Does Quizlet Plus work with sets other people created?

Yes. You can study from any public set on Quizlet, and if you have Plus, you can download those sets for offline study and use the extra study modes. You can also add other people's sets to your own library.

Is there a student discount for Quizlet Plus?

Quizlet does not offer a direct student discount for individual subscriptions. However, some schools have institutional licenses that give students free or reduced-cost access to Plus features. Contact your school's IT or library department to ask.

Can I get a refund if I change my mind?

Quizlet's refund policy depends on how long you have had the subscription. If you cancel within a few days of purchase, you may be able to request a refund through your account or by contacting Quizlet support. After that, cancellations are final, though you keep access through the end of your billing period.
