Kahoot vs Crowdpurr: which is better for trivia nights and events?

• Phone-first vs big screen first

  Crowdpurr shows questions, answer options, results and rankings on every participant's phone, and its projected Presentation View is optional — useful for hybrid events and livestreams. Player screens come in 18 languages, including Turkish, though the host dashboard is English-only. Kahoot's live games center on the shared screen, and phones show only colored answer shapes unless the host enables questions on devices.

• Trivia formats

  Crowdpurr is built for trivia nights and events: team play, survivor elimination, point wagering, tournament brackets, multi-round leaderboards, lotteries, bingo and photo social walls. Kahoot's event plans focus on presenting — word clouds, brainstorms, open-ended questions and live Q&A — alongside its quiz game and team mode.

• How event pricing works

  Crowdpurr has no per-event pass: the shortest purchase is a 30-day plan that renews automatically unless you downgrade, and refunds apply only within 7 days if the plan wasn't used for a live event. Kahoot sells one-time event plans that stay active for 30 days, priced by audience size and excluding VAT.

• Audience size

  Crowdpurr goes up to 15,000 participants per game on its Stadium plan, added in September 2026. Kahoot's event plans top out at 5,000 participants on Event Ultra, which requires onboarding.

• Tools for event businesses

  Crowdpurr includes lead capture (from Seminar), white-label with custom domains (Conference) and sponsor ads on players' phones (Convention), plus native live streaming. Kahoot includes company branding from Event Plus and reserves commercial rights for external events for Event Ultra ($799).

As of October 2026, Crowdpurr sells 30-day plans — Classroom $49.99 (100 participants), Seminar $149.99 (500), Conference $249.99 (1,000), Convention $499.99 (5,000) and Stadium $999.99 (15,000) — that auto-renew unless you downgrade, and yearly billing halves the monthly rate (Classroom works out to $24.99 a month). Kahoot's Kahoot! 360 event plans are one-time payments, each active for 30 days and excluding VAT: Event Standard $199 (200 participants), Event Plus $299 (1,000), Event Max $499 (2,000) and Event Ultra $799 (5,000, onboarding required). For a single event, Crowdpurr costs less at most sizes — 500 players cost $149.99 versus $299 on Kahoot — as long as you remember to downgrade before the plan renews.

• the event is internal — a training day, team meeting or company kickoff
• you want word clouds, open-ended questions and live Q&A alongside the quiz
• you'd rather make a one-time payment per event than manage a renewing plan
• you also want self-paced courses or AI quiz creation for training afterwards
• your audience already knows how to join a Kahoot game

• you run trivia nights, conferences or fundraisers and want survivor, wagering and bingo formats
• players should follow everything on their phones, with or without a big screen
• you need lead capture, sponsor ads or a white-label experience
• your crowd runs into the thousands — up to 15,000 on Stadium
• you want a lower 30-day price than Kahoot's event plans for 100 to 1,000 players

• 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

For trivia nights and public events, Crowdpurr is the more specialized tool: phone-first play, formats like survivor and wagering, lead capture and sponsor features, and lower 30-day prices than Kahoot's event plans at most audience sizes. Kahoot makes more sense for internal events that mix a quiz with word clouds, Q&A or training content, or when you'd rather make a one-time payment than manage an auto-renewing plan. If you only need a live multiple-choice quiz for up to 500 players, Quizzo is a cheaper third option at $9/month, cancel anytime.
