The time for new year's resolutions or new year's savings (at any rate) are upon us.
WaniKani is great, I've been using it for a couple of years.

Hey OP, since you've been using it for a couple of years, may I please get your detailed review?
Does it help you with daily conversation or just reading kanji words? Cheers!mainly vocabulary and reading. If you want conversation then Bunpro is your best bet, currently lifetime is on sale for $USD120 (save $30)
Both go well together for best results.

It doesn't help you directly with daily conversation, I would say having regular conversation is the only way to help with that. But Wanikani does help on a secondary level, where it build your vocab and exposes you to the different versions of words to help you pick up what the conversation is about and for you to express what you want to say.
god thats a lot of kmoney when anki is free

The Anki deck is most likely just a rip off of Wani Kani without the attached service
what? anki has been around forever
You're both sort of right.
Anki has been around for ages, and probably before wanikani, they are both SRS memory tools. What wanikani has over anki is that it's a gamified experience, where you level up in stages, it tracks your progress and it makes you learn the foundations(Radicals and base kanji), before exposing you to more complex Kanji and vocab.
Depending on the deck you use in Anki, it only tracks the progress of the individual cards, and from there, it's up to you to say if you remember it or not. What I found frustrating about using Anki is that the decks are all over the place, once I finish a deck and move on to the next one, it had repeated cards from the previous deck.
What OP is referring to is a deck created based off of the order and structure of wanikani, sure it's great as it's free, but it misses out on all the great features offered in wanikani that will keep you motivate to keep progressing. The lifetime sub is worth it in the long run.
For those wondering, it's a Japanese learning site
