Does Carna do everything Memrise does?
No. Memrise is free to start and built around vocabulary by spaced repetition. Carna scores vocabulary as one of eight skills, beside grammar, reading, listening, speaking, writing, pronunciation and general English, on a levelled path from A1 to C2.

Can I switch from Memrise to Carna?
Not on your own yet. The early-access list is how you hear first when individual access opens; schools and teams run on Carna today.
How did you build this comparison?
Each row asks the same question of both columns. The Memrise column reflects the plans and features Memrise publishes, as we checked them in May 2026. Carna is held to the same standard, so where it falls short we say so: individual learners join an early-access list today. "Partly" means a feature exists with a limit, and the limit is named under the row. Products change quickly, so check Memrise's own site for the latest.
