What is Wooclap?
Wooclap is an active-learning platform from Brussels, Belgium, founded in 2015 by Sébastien Lebbe and Jonathan Alzetta. Lecturers and trainers add interactive questions — 21 formats, from multiple choice and word clouds to image labeling, matching and fill-in-the-blanks — to live or self-paced sessions, and participants join at wooclap.com with an event code or QR code. An optional competition mode scores speed and accuracy, shows a top-10 ranking and ends on a podium. Wooclap raised €25 million in September 2025 and announced the acquisition of UK rival Vevox on September 15, 2026.
Best for: University lecturers and corporate trainers who want many active-learning question types, self-paced sessions and LMS integration, with competitions now and then.

Quizzo has no question allowance, so write as many quizzes as you like. Wooclap's free plan stops at 5 questions a month, and unlimited questions start with Basic at $96 a year for education.
Made for fun, not just lectures
Built-in music and sound effects, an answer chart and top-5 leaderboard after every question, and a confetti podium make Quizzo a natural fit for quiz nights, company events and class games.

Image labeling, find on image, matching, sorting, fill-in-the-blanks, find a number, word clouds, open questions and brainstorming sit alongside multiple choice. Quizzo is multiple choice only.
Built for lecture halls
Wooclap offers attendance sheets, self-paced sessions, PDF and Excel exports, question import from Excel or Moodle, and LMS integrations on Campus plans. Quizzo has no reports, import or LMS integration.
Large free audience
Even the free Starter plan takes up to 1,000 participants per event and includes competition mode with a podium, though only 5 questions a month.

Wooclap pricing vs Quizzo
As of October 2026, Wooclap's business plans cost $13/month (Basic) and $25 per presenter per month (Pro), and its education plans $8 and $15, all billed annually and excluding VAT; larger organizations get Corporate or Campus quotes. Every self-serve plan, including the free Starter plan, allows up to 1,000 participants per event, but Starter is limited to 5 questions per month. Quizzo is $9/month for up to 500 players, billed monthly. Over a full year, Wooclap's education Basic plan ($96 before VAT) costs a little less than twelve months of Quizzo ($108), while business Basic ($156) costs more; for a term, a few events or any month-to-month use, Quizzo is cheaper because Wooclap requires a yearly commitment.
Should you switch from Wooclap to Quizzo?
Stay with Wooclap if you teach or train with varied question formats, self-paced sessions, attendance tracking and LMS integrations, or if its free plan's 5 questions a month cover what you need. Switch to Quizzo if you mainly run quizzes — for classes, company events or quiz nights — and want a livelier game-show format that you pay for month to month instead of yearly.

- Press “Start game” to open the lobby, then show the PIN or QR code on the big screen.
