First impression:
Cram.com looks a bit old. 3 million members, but no one knows how many are active. I found some YouTube videos.

Score: 20
- Gaming elements
There are two games: Jewel Games and Stellar Speller. I tried them, but they did not work. The progress bars are too ugly to score any points.
Score: 0
- Pros
I am sorry, but I cannot think of a good reason to use Cram.com. Basic features are available to learn flashcards.
Score: 0
- Cons
★ A lot of ads in the free version (or use an ad blocker).
★ Old UI with a lot of ugly parts. The app (I tested the Android app) looks a bit newer but still feels old.
★ Premium is really expensive. No free trial period.
★ No AI.
★ No gaming.
Score: 0
- Price
Premium is expensive at $9.95 USD per month when subscribing for one year. The free version is full of ads. We subtract one point for that.
Score: 20
Overall:
Cram.com is hopelessly old, badly maintained, and expensive. I don't see any chance Cram.com is the best tool for you. However, I do see mainly positive reviews in the app stores, so some users using it are happy with it.
