Drillster - 2025 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

What is Drillster?

80% of new knowledge and skills fade away within the first week — especially when you use traditional learning methods or when you rely on exams. To really anchor new knowledge in the long-term memory, learning should be effortful, meaningful, contextual, and continuous.

Drillster the ideal tool to learn faster, more efficiently, and retain what has been learned, year-round. Research shows that learning with Drillster results in at least 10% higher ROI on learning in at least 40% less time.

The unique Drillster methodology consists of several crucial elements:

- Microlearning: Learning material is cut up into manageable learning modules of 5-10 minutes that focus on the key essentials of a specific topic. Short learning chunks make it easier to learn at short, regular intervals. This is more effective and engaging and makes it very suitable for mobile learning.

- Assessment-based learning: Learning takes place through questions, problems, cases, or dilemmas. This way of actively processing and recalling information ensures greater retention in the long term.

- Immediate positive feedback: Processing feedback immediately after each exercise has proven to enhance the learning effect, as people are then most receptive to it and remember it better. Add corrective feedback to incorrect answers, and complimentary feedback to correct answers. In both cases, it’s important to always focus feedback on the right information, to avoid an undesired learning effect.

- Adaptive learning: The smart algorithm adjusts the order, frequency, and pace of exercises based on the individual forgetting curve. Topics that people find difficult are automatically repeated more often than the ones they already know well. This guarantees a tailored, efficient, continuous learning process on an individual and micro level.

- The forgetting curve and spaced repetition: The truly unique Drillster algorithm calculates the forgetting curve for each individual. It knows when knowledge and skills decline and notifies every learner in time to brush up. Then, the app applies increasing time intervals between the repetition of learning items. Just-in-time and effortful retrieval of the right information from memory, strengthens the learning effect and ensures knowledge and competencies are deeply anchored in long-term memory.

Use Drillster stand-alone as web app, or on any iOS or Android device. Both the web and mobile app are available in 14 different languages. The Drillster application can also easily be integrated into your current learning ecosystem. Use Drillster on your website, learning management system (LMS), or other (HRM) system to create a smoother learning experience. Typical integrations include automated user and access provisioning, single sign-on, learner data exchange and push notifications. We have plugins readily available for a large number of LMS and HRM platforms.

As a company, Drillster always takes the information security process seriously. Our achievement for the ISO-27001 certification is evidence that we operate in accordance with strict security rules and requirements. Also, our suppliers, like our hosting providers, are in possession of the required security certifications and work accordingly.
