NodeLand's free plan is small: 1 workspace, 2 documents and no AI credits, so you cannot try the AI summaries without paying. Premium is $4 per month for 500 AI credits. Maps do not turn into flashcards automatically, and Canvas and Flashcards content is kept separate, so studying from a map means copying material over by hand. We also could not find a pricing page on the site.
Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) is Google's source-grounded assistant: upload your notes or readings and it answers questions and produces summaries, audio and slides. It has a free tier; a paid starting price is not stated in our verified data. It does not offer spaced-repetition flashcards in our data. Notion AI puts writing help, workspace search and meeting notes inside Notion, with a free tier and Plus at $12 per member, three times NodeLand Premium. Choose it if your notes already live in Notion and you do not need visual mind maps.
