Will it stay for free like anki or will you move over to a paid plan?
I love anki because it's free and every time I've used a new software, which was better, to learn new things, I had to pay eventually.

It was never a utility problem, digital always beat physical in almost all regards there ('flicking through' notwithstanding). It's an input problem: some (many?) people just prefer to write. (And maybe output? I didn't realise at first, but now seems more likely GP is referring to e-paper devices being easier on the eyes.)
It’s not only that some people “just prefer to write”, there is published research[0] showing that writing things down by hand performs better in context of learning. [0] https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2020.0181... / https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24714990
The reason handwriting is helpful for learning is that handwriting naturally induces structuring of content. And in Note Garden, the content is naturally structured while taking notes.

There will probably be a paid plan eventually, but there will still be a free plan, and I guarantee it will at least be better than Anki.

Well, throw me in the bucket of people who've been lost by that decision. Sounds potentially interesting, but I'm by no means invested enough already to go through the whole account creation thing just to try it.
After reading your comments, Our marketers just decided to add the function to use the app as a guest again. So now you can use the app without signing up. Isn't it good?
How? I see nothing on the frontpage about that, when I click on Web Version there is only login options?

To be clear, I 'prefer to write', I wasn't putting it down.

What you say is pointless, because Note Garden was created to solve those problems.
Quite a rude response as these are just observations from someone who invested a lot of time into this niche.
They have quite a few other rude, dismissive responses on this thread. Turned me away from their product.

Maybe I'm being rude, but if you miss the chance to use Note Garden for that reason, I'll call you an idiot.

Did you read the paper?
> We conclude that because of the benefits of sensory-motor integration due to the larger involvement of the senses as well as fine and precisely controlled hand movements when writing by hand and when drawing, it is vital to maintain both activities in a learning environment to facilitate and optimize learning.
There is nothing about structuring content.
Which does not mean your statement is necessarily wrong; it’s just a speculation presented as a fact with no supporting evidence in the name of promoting your product.
