Quizizz vs Blooket: which one fits your classroom in 2026?

Quizizz and Blooket both have students answer questions on their own devices, so K-12 teachers often weigh them for review days and homework. Since June 2025 Quizizz has been called Wayground and has grown into a full assessment platform, while Blooket has stayed a game-first review tool. Below, we compare plans, player caps, question types and game styles.

Quizizz (Wayground) vs Blooket: key differences

  • Assessment platform vs review game

    Wayground combines quizzes, lessons, flashcards, a test mode and a paper mode with QR cards, plus 20+ accommodations such as read-aloud and extra time. Blooket wraps a question set in arcade modes like Gold Quest, Crypto Hack and Battle Royale, some of which add luck and stealing mechanics.

  • Question types

    Wayground supports 18+ question types, including drag and drop, math response, graphing, hotspot and open-ended answers; premium types need a paid plan. Blooket has two: multiple choice with up to four options and typed answers, plus audio questions on Plus.

  • Player caps

    Free Blooket games take up to 60 players, and Plus raises that to 300 except in Racing and team modes. Wayground allows 100 participants per session on its free plan and 1,000 on paid plans.

  • What the free plans hold back

    Blooket's free Starter plan keeps unlimited question sets and most game modes, and homework games can stay open for up to 14 days. Wayground's free Starter (Basic) plan has capped your library at 20 stored resources since August 2023 and limits AI use and question types.

  • AI, imports and integrations

    Wayground's AI builds quizzes and lessons from prompts, PDFs, links, YouTube videos and slides, and it connects to Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Canvas, Schoology, Clever and ClassLink (full LMS sync mainly on school plans). Blooket relies on Khan Academy's free Khanmigo Blooket Generator for AI-made sets and imports from Quizlet or spreadsheets.

Quizizz (Wayground) vs Blooket pricing

As of October 2026, Blooket's Starter plan is free forever, Plus costs $4.99/month billed annually ($59.88/year) and Plus Flex costs $9.99/month with no commitment; both paid options raise games to 300 players and unlock Plus-only modes and enhanced reports. Third-party sources put Blooket's school group plans at $550/year for 10 seats up to $3,000/year for 80. Wayground's Individual (Super) plan costs $18/month billed annually ($216/year, US price, 7-day free trial) with no monthly option, prices vary by region, and its US plans page now leads with quote-based School and District plans. Wayground says it will reimburse teachers who paid for Super themselves if their school later buys a plan. For a teacher paying out of pocket, Blooket costs far less.

Our verdict

Pick Wayground (Quizizz) if you need an assessment tool: its question types, reports, accommodations and LMS sync justify the $216/year individual price or a school license. Pick Blooket if the goal is high-energy review with younger students and you want a generous free plan or a $59.88/year upgrade, keeping in mind that luck-based modes can reward speed over understanding. If all you need is a live multiple-choice game for a big group, billed monthly, Quizzo ($9/month, up to 500 players) is a third option.
