    It's based upon the same source as Anki & is designed to sync with ankiweb. It's complimentary to Anki for desktop.

    Memrise used to be an efficient SRS for self-created flashcard decks, now it's mostly worthless unless you pay a monthly fee, which a popup prompts you to do every 3 minutes or so.

    Cross device syncing is paid option and all your file store locally. Otherwise it is good UI and good flashcard app.

    It's way better than Anki. Simpler and more intuitive interface and way more efficient in creating cards from notes. IMO, it fully replaces Anki.
