In the past I’ve mostly done Anki for Chinese and Japanese but am looking for something else since I’ve fallen off Anki.

For Chinese I really need a service that I can read and OCR words to easily identify in a dictionary. I’m at a high intermediate or low advanced level but looking up words is annoying.

For Japanese I just need input for an intermediate level.

  • Clozemaster?
  • Italki?

Listing services I’ve found

  • Clozemaster (but has a bad model now)
  • tutor with something like italki
  • Anki
  • busuu
  • librelingo

No prob, hope something in there ends up being useful to you!

Another couple I thought of that may be be of interest, since you mentioned things like italki:

  • HelloTalk - Language exchange chat/social app
  • HiNative - Q&A app to ask native speakers language questions

Tutoring sounds more useful than these though. Still, I haven't tried italki yet since it feels like I'd need to be at a higher level to make it worthwhile.
