A TriviaMaker alternative for bigger trivia nights

TriviaMaker is a game-show maker run by Redwood Pro Media, LLC, a US company; the TriviaMaker trademark dates from 2017. Hosts build games in seven styles — a Jeopardy-style grid, Feud-style survey lists, a wheel puzzle, tic-tac-toe, hangman, a mixed Fusion round and classic multiple-choice trivia — and show them on a big screen or TV. Players can answer as teams with no devices, buzz in from their phones, or join Crowd Mode at play.triviamaker.com, where everyone answers on their own device. TriviaMaker claims more than 200,000 educators and 500,000 active users, and offers host apps for iOS, Android and Apple TV.

Best for: Teachers, youth groups, families and trainers who want TV game-show formats — Jeopardy-style boards, Feud lists, a wheel — on a big screen for a very low yearly price.

• Player caps are low on the cheap tiers: 20 in Crowd Mode on the free plan and 50 on Premium.
• More than 50 players means Premium Plus, which is yearly-only and sold at a limited-time $39.99 introductory price against a $99.99 list price; the renewal price isn't published.
• Above 200 players you need Enterprise, which has custom pricing and no refunds.
• App-store reviews report billing problems: Premium not unlocking after purchase, charges without access and slow support replies.
• Reviewers also mention crashes on tablets while typing, failed photo uploads and occasional lag in live games.
• The free plan unlocks only some Grid, Trivia and List styles and 2 teams, with no customization of colors, music or logos.

• 500 players, month to month

  Quizzo takes up to 500 players on its $9 monthly plan. TriviaMaker's only month-to-month plan, Premium at $6.99, caps Crowd Mode at 50 players.

• No introductory pricing

  Quizzo is $9/month with no promotional rates. TriviaMaker's 200-player tier is a yearly plan sold at a first-sign-up price of $39.99, against a $99.99 list price.

• Cheaper for a one-off big event

  For a single party or event with 51 to 200 players, one month of Quizzo ($9) costs less than a year of Premium Plus ($39.99 intro). From 201 to 500 players, Quizzo is self-serve while TriviaMaker requires an Enterprise quote.

• Questions on every phone, every game

  Quizzo always shows the full question and answers on players' phones. In TriviaMaker that happens in Crowd Mode only: Buzz Mode turns phones into buzzers, and presenter mode uses just the big screen.

• A Turkish interface

  Quizzo's host and player screens are available in Turkish and English. TriviaMaker's App Store listing shows English only.

• Seven game-show formats

  TriviaMaker offers Jeopardy-style grids, Feud-style lists, a wheel, tic-tac-toe, hangman and Fusion rounds, plus buzzer play. Quizzo runs one format: multiple choice.

• Play with or without phones

  Teams can play from one screen with no devices, buzz in from phones or answer in Crowd Mode, and hosts can run games from iOS, Android or Apple TV apps.

• Classroom and content tools

  TriviaMaker has self-paced assignments with deadlines, website and LMS embeds, Google Classroom roster import, spreadsheet import and an AI question generator that works from a topic or document.

• Lower yearly prices

  Premium is $19 a year for 50 players, and Premium Plus is currently $39.99 a year for 200. For groups that size, a year of TriviaMaker costs less than a year of Quizzo ($108).

As of October 2026, TriviaMaker's free Basic plan allows 20 players in Crowd Mode, 20 buzzers and 2 teams. Premium costs $6.99/month or $19/year and raises those limits to 50; Premium Plus is yearly-only and currently $39.99 for the first year as a limited-time introductory price (list $99.99/year), for up to 200 players. Enterprise reaches 2,000 players at a custom price, and lifetime memberships are no longer sold. Quizzo is $9/month for up to 500 players, billed monthly: TriviaMaker costs less if you pay yearly and stay at or under 200 players, while Quizzo is cheaper for a single month with more than 50 players and is the self-serve option above 200.

Stay with TriviaMaker if you want Jeopardy-, Feud- or wheel-style game shows, buzzer rounds or homework assignments, and your groups stay at 200 players or fewer on a yearly plan. Switch to Quizzo if you run multiple-choice trivia for bigger crowds, want to pay month to month without introductory offers, or need the interface in Turkish.
