Kahoot vs Quizizz vs Quizotic for Indian schools — 2026 comparison
Free plan limits, prices, NCERT content, Hindi question support and classroom-Wi-Fi performance. Three tools, side by side.
TL;DR
- •Kahoot — the strongest brand and the biggest ready-made library. The free Kahoot! Go plan seats 40 per game with quiz and true/false questions only; school plans start at $3 a month, billed yearly; the join page is 2.85 MB.
- •Wayground (formerly Quizizz) — founded in Bengaluru, now run from the US; a deep CBSE, JEE and NEET question bank; 30 per live session on the free plan; Super from about $5 a month.
- •Quizotic — the newest of the three: 50 per session, unlimited sessions on the free plan, NCERT templates, question content in Hindi and a 267 KB join page. Pro is planned at $4.99/month, not yet on sale.
- •For one class on a free plan, Quizotic seats the most per session; Kahoot and Wayground win on the size of their ready-made libraries.
- •For a school that wants to buy licences this term, Kahoot and Wayground can sell you one; Quizotic cannot yet.
Three browser-based live-quiz platforms — Kahoot, Wayground (the renamed Quizizz) and Quizotic — are the ones most Indian schools try first. Each has a free plan, each works on phones, and each can write questions with AI. The differences show up in four places: how many students the free plan seats, what the paid plans cost, how heavy the page is on a 1–2 Mbps school link, and how much India-specific content is ready to use. Competitor figures were checked on each vendor's own pages, and the date is given beside each one.
Pricing — what each one costs today
Kahoot's school plans, checked on kahoot.com/schools/plans on 25 September 2026, are priced in US dollars per teacher: Kahoot!+ Bronze is $3 a month billed yearly ($36 a year) for 50 players, Silver $7 a month for 100, Gold $12 for 200 and Kahoot! One $19 for 800. Paying month to month costs more. Wayground (formerly Quizizz) Super starts from about $5 a month (checked 12 September 2026). Quizotic is free today; Pro is planned at $4.99/month (₹399/month in India) and not yet on sale, and is planned to bill in INR with UPI and a domestic GST invoice (via Razorpay) once it launches. So a school that wants to pay for licences this term can do that with Kahoot or Wayground; a teacher who wants to stay free should compare the free plans below.
Classroom Wi-Fi — page weight is the hidden killer
Participant page weight decides how fast a room fills. Measured on 12 September 2026 — compressed first-load bytes on a mobile connection — Kahoot is 2.85 MB, Wayground 1.17 MB and Quizotic 267 KB. On a 1.5 Mbps school link shared by 30 phones, an order-of-magnitude difference in what each phone must download is the difference between a lobby that fills while you explain the rules and one that fills after the bell. Real-time event payloads are similar across all three, about 1KB per question and answer.
NCERT library and Hindi — the India-specific gap
A pre-built NCERT chapter library means a teacher can launch a Class 8 Science quiz in 30 seconds without uploading any PDF. Wayground has a strong India question bank skewed toward the CBSE syllabus; Quizotic ships NCERT templates for Classes 6–12 across Science, Social Science, Maths and English; Kahoot's ready-made library is global and community-built rather than mapped to NCERT chapters. All three accept questions typed in Hindi. On Quizotic: Your questions, options and explanations can be in Hindi or any other language, and there are ready-made Hindi-medium NCERT templates. The participant screen itself is in English today — students only enter a PIN and a name, so there is nothing to navigate. A Hindi interface is on the roadmap without a committed date. For Hindi-medium schools, the templates matter more than any feature comparison.
Reports and learning science
All three generate per-student reports. Kahoot's reports are visually polished but don't tag by Bloom's level. Quizizz reports are detailed but require Super tier for advanced analytics. Quizotic ships Bloom-tagged reports and the Confidence Grid on the free tier, with Day 1 / 7 / 30 follow-up quizzes on Pro — a learning-science depth advantage. For coaching institutes preparing for JEE/NEET, the Bloom tagging is genuinely useful for identifying whether students are weak on Remember/Understand or on Apply/Analyze.
When to pick which
Pick Kahoot if brand familiarity and a huge ready-made library matter most, you can pay in US dollars, and its free plan (40 per game) or $3-a-month Bronze plan fits your class. Pick Wayground if you want a heavy CBSE, JEE and NEET question bank and strong self-paced homework. Pick Quizotic if you teach classes of up to 50 and want to stay free every week, need the lightest page for slow Wi-Fi, want Hindi question content with NCERT templates, or want Bloom-tagged reports on the free plan. A teacher trying all three alone will find each free plan workable; the choice usually comes down to class size and library.

Frequently asked
Is Quizotic better than Kahoot?
For a class that quizzes every week on a free plan, Quizotic seats more (50 per session against Kahoot! Go's 40 per game), includes every question type and AI question generation, and loads a far lighter page on slow school Wi-Fi. Kahoot is better known, has a much bigger ready-made library, and sells paid plans today — its cheapest is $3 a month billed yearly, while Quizotic Pro is planned at $4.99/month, not yet on sale.
Was Quizizz originally Indian?
Yes. Quizizz was founded in Bengaluru in 2015 by Ankit Gupta and Deepak Joy Cheenath, moved its headquarters to the US, and renamed itself Wayground in 2025. India remains a strong user base, but pricing and product priorities now follow the US market.
Which of these can a school pay for today?
Kahoot and Wayground sell paid plans today, priced in US dollars. Quizotic does not yet. There is nothing to pay today: Quizotic is free, and the planned Pro plan is not on sale yet. When it launches it will bill in INR with UPI and a domestic GST invoice in India, and in USD by card elsewhere.
Which one has the best free tier?
For live classroom quizzes, Quizotic: 50 per session, unlimited sessions, with no session time limit. Kahoot! Go seats 40 per game, and Wayground (formerly Quizizz) seats 30 per live session. For self-paced homework and ready-made questions, Wayground's question bank is the deepest.
Does Quizotic have a mobile app?
No — and this is intentional. Quizotic runs fully in the browser. Students don't install anything. Hosts can install Quizotic as a Progressive Web App (PWA) on their phone for shortcut access, but it's not required.
