The Kahoot alternative with one simple price

Kahoot! is the best-known live quiz platform. It launched in Norway in 2013 and has been privately held since January 2024, when a consortium led by Goldman Sachs Asset Management completed its acquisition. A host shows questions on a shared screen and players answer on their own devices after entering a game PIN at kahoot.it. Beyond live games, Kahoot offers self-paced assignments, slides, AI quiz creation, a huge library of ready-made quizzes and separate plan families for teachers, schools, families and businesses (Kahoot! 360).

Best for: Schools and trainers who want the broadest feature set — many question types, AI creation, a ready-made library, self-paced assignments and LMS integrations — and are fine with tiered, mostly annual pricing.

• Player caps are tied to tiers: the free plan stops at 10 or 40 players, and paid teacher plans cap games at 50, 100 or 200 players.
• Teacher and work plans are billed a year up front — awkward if you need Kahoot for one event or one term.
• Features are spread across tiers: polls, puzzles, 5–6 answers, AI creation and full reports unlock at different price points.
• Business pricing starts at $228 per presenter per year for 50 participants, and the free work plan limits sessions to 15 players and 15 minutes.
• By default, players' phones show only colored shapes, so anyone who can't see the big screen is lost unless the host remembers to switch on questions on devices.
• Plans keep changing: in 2024 Kahoot halved the player caps of its $48 and $96 teacher tiers, and several work-plan prices changed during 2026.

• Monthly billing, one price

  $9/month with no annual commitment. Subscribe for a single event or term and cancel afterwards.

• 500 players without upgrading

  Every Quizzo game takes up to 500 players. On Kahoot, anything above 200 players means Kahoot! One ($228/year) or a business plan.

• Questions on every phone by default

  Quizzo always shows the full question and answers on players' devices — no setting to remember. Ideal for big halls, hybrid sessions and video calls.

• No feature tiers

  Everything Quizzo does is included in the one plan: nothing to unlock and no upgrade prompts in the middle of a lesson.

• Far cheaper for events and work

  A 300-person company quiz on Kahoot needs at least Pro Plus ($468/year per presenter) or a $299 one-off event plan. On Quizzo it's $9 for the month.

• Question variety

  Kahoot has 13+ question types — true/false, type answer, puzzle, poll, word cloud, slider and more — plus slides. Quizzo is multiple choice only.

• AI and a huge library

  Kahoot can generate quizzes from a topic, PDF, web page or slides, and offers a vast library of ready-made kahoots. Quizzo has neither yet.

• Homework, reports and integrations

  Self-paced assignments, team mode, downloadable reports and integrations with Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams and LMSs suit schools that track learning over time.

• Free for small classes

  If you teach K-12 with 40 or fewer students, Kahoot's free plan may be all you need — and Bronze is only $36 a year for 50 players.

As of October 2026, Kahoot's teacher plans are Bronze ($36/year, 50 players), Silver ($84/year, 100 players), Gold ($144/year, 200 players) and Kahoot! One ($228/year, 800 players), all billed annually; personal accounts can pay monthly, from $9 to $44.99 a month. For work, Kahoot! 360 runs from Pro Start at $19/month per presenter (50 participants) to Pro Max at $79/month (2,000), billed annually, and one-off event plans cost $199–$799. Quizzo is $9/month for up to 500 players, billed monthly. For a small class Kahoot can cost less; for groups above 200, company events or anyone who wants to pay monthly, Quizzo is usually far cheaper.
