I like anki because it seems more customizable and ease of adding material, but I've always been interested in memrise due to the memory champion + Princeton neuroscience connection. I know that duolingo has some sophisticated features like feeding you easier cards when it senses that you are tired, etc but they don't have a japanese course yet afik. I'm wondering if memrise are doing anything more sophisticated than simply using an old supermemo algorithm like anki.
It has been a long time since I tried Memrise (a few years), so I don't know if they added anything new; from what I can tell, it's just a regular SRS; I think the draw is the format, community material, and the lack of customization.
Personally, I find Anki to be the superior of the two, because of the high amount of customization available.
