Update, Sept 2026: ProtoQuiz no longer shows ads. The free tier now includes 3 per day of each generated feature.
Short version: every feature in ProtoQuiz is now free for everyone. No daily limits, no locked scenarios, no protocol caps.
Why We Changed
We ran classic freemium: pharmacology quizzes free, a limited number of scenarios and algorithm quizzes per day, everything else behind premium. The expensive features were gated. In practice, three things kept happening:
- Students hit the limit and left. A medic student prepping for a shift would burn their one daily scenario in five minutes, hit a paywall and close the app. The people I built this for were the ones getting walled off.
- People saw it as a paid app, even though most of it was free.
- Daily limits kill the habit. Studying works as a daily routine, and limits break it.
No friction. Download, upload your PDF, study. No trial countdown.
What Changes, What Doesn't
- No daily limits: unlimited scenarios, algorithm quizzes and protocol uploads for everyone.
- Still page citations on every answer. Your protocols stay yours, never sold or shared. Same extraction, scenarios, Learn Mode and Compete Mode.
Gating features most users need pushes away the people I built this for.
Next up: faster extraction, better scenarios, more protocol formats, and more work on the agency side. Feedback in the app, a comment below, or an email all reach me. I read all of it.
