StudyFox vs Coursology
The Coursology alternative with no ads and real spaced repetition
Coursology does a lot. StudyFox does the same job on a free plan without ads, and its flashcards are scheduled to actually stick.
The short version
Coursology is one of the more complete homework extensions: screenshot solving, an AI chat, a writing tool, lecture transcription and basic study aids. The free plan carries ads and a low answer cap, so most of that lives behind Pro. StudyFox covers the same ground, solving questions inline on Canvas, Blackboard and Moodle with the reasoning written out, and goes further on the studying side with spaced-repetition flashcards, mind maps, Anki import and an interface in 15 languages, all starting on a free plan with no ads.

Why students look for a Coursology alternative
Study aids are an afterthought
Flashcards and quizzes exist, but there is no spaced repetition and no mind map. They are there to round out the feature list, not to get you through finals.
English only
If you study in Spanish, German, Arabic or Hindi, the interface is not built for you.
