Algor Education is a study platform that converts material you already have into five kinds of generated learning object: concept maps, mind maps, flashcards, quizzes and study notes. It is operated by Algor Lab S.r.l., an Italian company registered in Turin as an innovative startup. The catalogue is exactly those five: concept maps, mind maps, flashcards, quizzes and study notes.
The product does not supply subject content of its own. You bring the source — a chapter, a lecture recording, a set of notes — and the platform restructures it. That distinction matters for expectations: the ceiling on quality is set by what you upload, and nothing in the catalogue substitutes for having the material in the first place.
Two mechanics govern day-to-day use. Generation is paid for in credits, and every upload is bounded by a character limit that varies with your plan. Both are worth understanding before you commit a study session to the tool, because they determine how much of a syllabus you can actually push through it.
Source material can arrive as text documents, PDFs, images, audio recordings and YouTube videos, and one upload feeds every object in the catalogue. Used as an AI concept map generator, the platform reads that upload once and returns structure, not prose. The image path changes behaviour most for students working from printed textbooks, since photographing a page removes the need to transcribe it.
Templates are the part of the product that separates it from a one-shot summariser: they fix which tools run, in what order, and under what instruction. A template can chain a map, a table, flashcards and a quiz so that a single upload produces a complete revision set rather than one artefact.
Instruction is written per tool inside the template. You set how many branches a map carries and what each covers; as an AI flashcards generator the same template fixes how many cards to produce and whether they take question-and-answer, fill-in-the-blank or concept-definition form. Quiz instruction sits alongside, setting how many questions to generate across multiple choice, true/false and open-ended types. Templates can be saved for reuse and published for others.
Alongside summarising and mapping, the catalogue includes solver templates for maths, physics and statistics. According to the vendor, maths templates in particular act as homework helpers, returning step-by-step solutions with explanations rather than a final answer alone.
Generated maps are editable rather than fixed images. Text, colours and node styling can be adjusted, and images, video and audio can be embedded inside individual nodes. When the source is heavy, long or dense source material is split into several focused maps rather than compressed into one — a structural decision that keeps a single diagram from becoming unreadable, at the cost of leaving you with several artefacts to navigate.
The flow is three steps: pick a template, drop in your content, and receive the generated set. Nothing about it requires configuration before the first run, since pre-built templates already carry their instructions.
Pre-built templates are the faster path and cover common goals — summarising, solving, generating exercises. A custom template earns its cost when the same shape of task recurs: the per-tool instructions are written once and then reused against new material every week, which is a meaningfully different proposition from re-prompting a chatbot each time.
Because the limit applies per upload rather than per month, producing study notes from PDF chapters means splitting by conceptual unit, not by page count. That is also the point at which the paywall on printing and export becomes relevant, since a free-plan user cannot simply take the pieces out and reassemble them elsewhere. Splitting at a chapter or topic boundary preserves the internal logic of each generated map; splitting arbitrarily at the character ceiling cuts relationships in half and produces maps whose links point at material that is not in the same artefact.
Four patterns follow directly from the feature set:
The audience is defined more sharply by the terms than by the marketing. Registration is open from age 14; younger users need permission from whoever holds parental responsibility, collected during signup and retained for verification. That places the product squarely in the secondary-school-and-above bracket by default.
Beyond age, the licence is scoped to individuals. The fair usage policy states that the service is sized for personal, individual and good-faith use, and plan allowances are dimensioned against the average user rather than against a heavy one. This has a direct consequence: a teacher who wants to generate material for an entire cohort from a personal subscription is running against the intended envelope, and the correct route is the separate institutional offer for schools, universities and educational bodies, which is quoted on request rather than published.
It suits you if you already have the source material and want it restructured, if visual organisation helps your recall, if an AI quiz generator matches how you self-test, and if your volume fits a personal allowance. It suits you poorly if you need the tool to supply subject knowledge, if you need factual accuracy guaranteed without review, or if you mean to redistribute the output as your own product.
Independent product assessment is thin. Independent evidence is limited to satisfaction signals: a claimed profile on a third-party review platform carries an aggregate 4.4 across about 540 reviews, which is a directional signal about satisfaction rather than evidence about any specific capability — the platform itself states that it does not fact-check review content. No qualifying independent testing of output quality is publicly available.
Algor runs as a web application with a mobile-oriented app experience; there is no published desktop client and no public API for scripting generation into another system.
Distribution of finished work is where the platform boundary matters most. A finished map can be handed to someone by link or email, and the recipient views it without downloading anything or creating an account — useful for sharing with a study group or a class that has no Algor licence. Taking the artefact out of the platform is treated differently: printing and multi-format export of a map sit behind a subscription, so a free-plan user can show work but cannot readily take it away.
The institutional track exists as a separate arrangement for classrooms, schools and universities, with pricing, onboarding and plan shape negotiated directly rather than selected from the public table.
Four tiers are published, and the gap between them is measured in credits and upload size rather than in which tools you may open.
| Plan | Listed price | Position |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 0€ | Free, forever |
| Beginner | 2.99€ | Per month |
| Base | 5.49€ | Per month |
| Pro | 7.99€ | Per month |
Billing periods run monthly, in two-, three-, four- and six-month blocks, or annually, with the annual option marked 30% below the monthly rate. Subscriptions renew automatically; auto-renewal can be switched off from account settings at any time, and a cancelled plan remains active until the end of the paid period.
Credits are the real unit of consumption, and they are not charged at a flat rate: each generation draws a variable number of credits depending on the size and complexity of the content. That makes budgeting harder than a per-item price would, because a dense chapter and a short article both count as "one generation" but do not cost the same.
The free tier's published limits are inconsistent between two official pages, and both readings are reproduced here rather than resolved. On one hand, the pricing page puts the free ceiling at 15,000 characters per upload with 30 AI credits and a maximum of two study Cards. On the other, the help centre describes the same free plan as processing content up to 50,000 characters per upload, alongside 30 credits per month and a maximum of two AI-powered sets. The credit figure agrees across both; the per-upload character allowance differs by more than threefold, and nothing on either page reconciles the two.
Refunds are described in two different places, and the two descriptions do not agree. The help centre sets out a compound condition: a refund request must arrive less than 14 days after payment and the subscription must have used no more than 50 credits. The terms and conditions state instead that requests for refunds subsequent to the use, even partial, of credits or access to digital content will not be accepted. Which of the two governs a given request is not resolved on either page.
The credit price of an individual feature is not fixed for the life of your plan: it can be revised as models and infrastructure costs change, and a feature that is free today can start charging. The policy states the consequence plainly — the number of operations achievable with the credits in your plan may vary over time, and the likelihood of hitting your ceiling can rise or fall depending on which features you use.
The statutory withdrawal right and the published refund condition are stated in conflicting terms across two official pages. The terms and conditions say the right of withdrawal lapses at the moment the user begins to use the credits, download materials or access restricted content, and that requests for refunds subsequent to the use, even partial, of credits or access to digital content will not be accepted. The help centre, separately, presents a refund as available within 14 days of payment provided no more than 50 credits have been used. Both statements are official and neither page acknowledges the other, so the conditions under which money is actually returned should be confirmed with the operator before purchase.
Accuracy is disclaimed rather than warranted: the operator does not guarantee that generated maps, summaries and analyses are correct, complete or fit for any particular purpose, and states that content may contain errors, omissions or outdated information. For assessed work this makes review non-optional.
The prohibitions are broad and specific at once. Automated access through bots, scripts, scrapers or crawlers is barred; so is reselling, redistributing, sublicensing or sharing the service; so is sharing an account, credentials or credits with anyone else; so is commercial, professional or large-scale use beyond what the plan permits; and so is creating multiple accounts to multiply credits or work around limits. Usage significantly above the average of other users can itself be treated as non-conforming, assessed at the operator's discretion using statistical and behavioural parameters, including automatically.
Enforcement is unilateral and without notice. The operator may restrict features, cut the credit balance, apply account-level technical limits, suspend the account or terminate it outright, and none of these measures entitles the user to a refund or compensation.
One quieter boundary concerns ownership. You retain copyright in what you upload, but publishing into the Public Library grants a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable and sublicensable worldwide licence to use, reproduce and publish that content for the purposes of the Library and Algor's services. Publishing is therefore a decision with a licensing consequence attached, not merely a visibility toggle.
Text documents, PDFs, images, audio recordings and YouTube videos. Each upload is bounded by a character limit that depends on your plan.
The two official pages disagree on one figure. Both state 30 AI credits and a maximum of two generated sets, but the pricing page gives a 15,000-character upload ceiling while the help centre gives 50,000 characters per upload. Treat the smaller figure as the safe assumption until the site reconciles them.
Three paid tiers are listed: Beginner at 2.99€ per month, Base at 5.49€ per month and Pro at 7.99€ per month. Annual billing is advertised at 30% below the monthly rate.
Per generation, not per session, and the amount is not fixed — a long dense upload costs more than a short one. Paid plans raise the ceiling rather than remove it.
The two official pages give different answers. The help centre lists a refund as available when the request arrives less than 14 days after payment and the subscription has used no more than 50 credits. The terms and conditions state that refund requests after even partial use of credits are not accepted. Neither page reconciles the other, so confirm the applicable condition with the operator before you buy.
Uploaded material is passed to Google Gemini for processing on servers inside the European Union, and the operator states that this content is not used by the AI provider to train its own models. Payments run through Stripe and PayPal as independent controllers, so card details are not held by the platform.
Account data and uploaded content are anonymised within 30 days of a deletion request. Marketing data is deleted twelve months after the last interaction for inactive users, log and analytics data is held for at most 26 months, and accounting records are retained for the ten years Italian law requires.
Yes, and it has two layers. Anyone from fourteen upwards signs up directly, while below that a guardian must authorise the account. For under-14 accounts that consent is verified by email, with a confirmation link that must be activated within 48 hours or the account is not created and the collected data is deleted.
