What BrushUpIQ is
BrushUpIQ turns uploaded PDF, Word, and text documents into quizzes with explanations. It is a web tool presented for learners, trainers, and educators. Text extraction takes place in the browser, so original uploaded files do not leave the user's device; the homepage says only extracted text is sent to generate questions. The Free plan allows five quiz generations per month, up to five questions per quiz, and documents up to 2 MB, with multiple-choice questions only. Learner costs £6.99/mo or £59/year and allows 50 generations monthly, up to 25 questions per quiz, and documents up to 10 MB; it also includes additional question formats, AI explanations, history, and retakes. Creator costs £14.99/mo or £149/year, with 200 generations monthly, up to 50 questions, and documents up to 25 MB, plus question editing, collections, exports, and public quiz links. Team and Business / Enterprise offerings are marked coming soon. All plans have fair-use monthly limits, and users receive a prompt before running out.
