Kahoot vs Wooclap: which fits your classroom or training in 2026?
Wooclap and Kahoot both let a room answer questions live on their phones, so lecturers, trainers and teachers often shortlist the two. Wooclap is an active-learning tool with an optional competition mode, while Kahoot is a game first. This page compares their formats, free plans, audience limits and prices as of October 2026 — including Wooclap's purchase of Vevox.

Kahoot vs Wooclap: key differences
Learning formats vs game formats
Wooclap's 21 question formats include image labelling, find-on-image, matching, sorting, fill-in-the-blanks, brainstorming and a message wall — built for lectures and training sessions. Kahoot's 13+ types serve a fast, timed game, with music and a leaderboard after every question.
Competition: optional vs default
Wooclap's competition mode scores speed and accuracy, shows a top-10 ranking and ends with a podium; it's free on every plan, and you switch it on when you want it. On Kahoot, the game is the point: scoring, music and a podium come with every live game.
Free plan trade-offs
Wooclap Starter allows up to 1,000 participants per event but only 5 questions a month, with no exports or self-paced sessions. Kahoot's free plan limits the room instead — 40 players for K-12 teacher accounts, 10 for others — and the question types, to quiz and true/false, but it includes self-paced assignments.
Audience size
Every self-serve Wooclap plan allows up to 1,000 participants per event. Kahoot's teacher plans cap games at 50, 100 or 200 players, with 800 on Kahoot! One; for work, 1,000 participants means Pro Plus at $39 per presenter per month, billed annually.
Slides and campus tools
Wooclap works with PowerPoint, Google Slides, Microsoft Teams and Zoom on every plan, including free, and includes an attendance sheet; LMS integrations come with its Campus and Corporate plans. Kahoot connects to Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Zoom and PowerPoint, with LMS integration on its EDU and Enterprise plans.
Kahoot vs Wooclap pricing
As of October 2026, Wooclap's education plans cost $8 per month (Basic) or $15 per presenter per month (Pro), and its business plans $13 (Basic) or $25 per presenter (Pro), all billed annually and excluding VAT; every self-serve plan allows up to 1,000 participants per event, and you must cancel at least 48 hours before renewal. Kahoot charges teachers $36–$228 a year (from Bronze with 50 players to Kahoot! One with 800) and businesses $19–$79 per presenter per month on Kahoot! 360, billed annually in both cases. Kahoot costs less for classes of up to 100; above that, Wooclap Education Basic ($96 a year) covers 1,000 participants. For trainers, Wooclap Business Basic ($156 a year) allows 1,000 participants, while Kahoot's 1,000-participant work plan, Pro Plus, costs $468 a year.
Choose Kahoot if…
- you want a game-show quiz that students or colleagues compete in
- your classes have up to 100 students and you want the lowest price ($36–$84 a year)
- you want to assign self-paced quizzes on a free plan
- you want a huge library of ready-made quizzes
- you also host games for family, friends or community groups
Choose Wooclap if…
- you lecture or train and want formats like image labelling, matching and fill-in-the-blanks
- you need up to 1,000 participants without buying a top tier
- you want polls, a message wall and an attendance sheet in the same session
- you present from PowerPoint or Google Slides and want questions inside your slides
- you only want competition now and then, not in every session
Or pick Quizzo if…
- 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
Our verdict
Wooclap suits lecturers and trainers who want variety and scale: 21 formats, 1,000 participants on every self-serve plan and an optional competition mode, from $96 a year for educators. Kahoot suits teachers and hosts who want the game itself, with a lower entry price for small classes ($36 a year) and self-paced assignments on its free plan. The Vevox deal makes Wooclap a bigger player in universities and corporate training, though both products run separately for now. For live multiple-choice games with up to 500 players and monthly billing, Quizzo ($9/month) is a third option.
