Blooket vs Gimkit: which review game should you pick in 2026?

• Game style

  Gimkit runs on an in-game economy: answering earns cash that students spend on upgrades, and in 2D modes the host screen shows a game map instead of a leaderboard. Blooket offers arcade modes such as Gold Quest, Crypto Hack, Claw Mania and Battle Royale, some of which mix in luck and stealing.

• Free plan: more modes or more players

  Blooket Starter gives you unlimited question sets and most game modes, but games stop at 60 players. Gimkit Basic lets up to 500 students play, but only in about three featured modes that change every few weeks, and Pro-exclusive modes are limited to five players.

• Player caps on paid plans

  Blooket Plus raises games to 300 players, except in Racing and team modes. Gimkit Pro allows 500 players per live game, but its 2D modes stop at 60.

• Homework and question formats

  Blooket includes homework games on the free plan, with deadlines up to 14 days (365 on Plus). Gimkit keeps assignments and image or audio uploads for Pro, and adds KitCollab, where students submit their own questions.

• Age fit

  Blooket suits elementary and middle-school review best. Gimkit's money-and-strategy layer fits middle and high school, and it can confuse younger students or pull attention away from the content.

The annual prices are identical as of October 2026: Blooket Plus and Gimkit Pro each cost $59.88 a year, or about $4.99 a month. Month to month, Blooket Plus Flex costs $9.99 and Gimkit Pro $14.99, so a teacher paying for a single term spends less on Blooket, and Gimkit's annual plan pays off once you use Pro four or more months a year. For schools, Gimkit publishes two simple licenses — Department at $650/year for up to 20 teachers and School at $1,000/year for the whole school — while Blooket's group plans run from $550/year for 10 seats to $3,000/year for 80 seats, according to third-party reports.

• you want most game modes without paying
• you teach elementary or middle school
• you want homework games on the free plan
• you'd pay month to month ($9.99 vs Gimkit's $14.99)
• you'd like AI-made sets from Khanmigo or imports from Quizlet

• your classes often exceed 60 students and you want to stay on a free plan
• your students enjoy strategy, earning cash and buying upgrades
• you teach middle or high school
• you want students to write questions with KitCollab
• your whole school can share one $1,000/year license

• you run live, game-show style quizzes and want one simple price: $9/month, billed monthly
• your groups are big — up to 500 players per game
• players should be able to read every question on their own phone (large rooms, hybrid and video calls)
• you don't need homework, self-paced or presentation features

Blooket is the easier pick for younger classes and for teachers who want most modes free, homework included and cheaper monthly billing. Gimkit suits older students who enjoy strategy, and its free plan handles large groups better as long as the current featured modes work for your lesson. If you'd rather skip in-game economies and run a plain quiz show for up to 500 players with monthly billing, Quizzo ($9/month) is another route.
