Kahoot vs Blooket vs Gimkit vs Wayground: Free Plans Compared
You know these four, and your students probably have opinions about all of them. What’s harder to keep straight is what each one still lets you do for free. So we lined up their free plans, line by line, using only what each company says on its own pages.
We’re not picking a winner. Your class, your call. We just want the facts in one spot.

Where every line comes from (all checked Oct 17, 2026):
- Kahoot: Kahoot plans. Players come from the Kahoot help center, updated Oct 15, 2026.
- Blooket: Is Blooket Free?
- Gimkit: Gimkit Pro FAQ. The 500 and 60 hard caps also show up in Gimkit’s player maximums article, last updated January 2023.
- Wayground: Starter (Basic) plan, plan comparison for players, pricing, and the Free-For-Schools update for the Sept 1 change.
What Jumps Out
- Big class or a whole grade level? On paper, Gimkit’s featured modes and Wayground’s 100 players give you the most room. Blooket holds 60 and Kahoot holds 40 for K-12 school accounts.
- Lots of saved quizzes? Blooket says unlimited question sets. Wayground keeps 20. (Blooket, Wayground, both checked Oct 17, 2026)
- Homework? Gimkit’s Assignments are paid. (Gimkit Pro FAQ, checked Oct 17, 2026)
- AI quiz building? Kahoot’s free plan doesn’t include it. Wayground’s free plan includes Wayground AI, with limits that aren’t stated and vary by region. (Kahoot plans, Wayground, both checked Oct 17, 2026)
- Little kids on Kahoot? Kahoot says students under 13 in the U.S. are “limited to exactly 10 players in Classic mode” on Go. (Kahoot help center, checked Oct 17, 2026)
- Paying a little? Kahoot!+ Bronze is the cheapest paid plan here at $3/mo billed annually. (Kahoot plans, checked Oct 17, 2026)
FAQ
Which one is the most free? Depends on what you need. Players, storage and reports all tip different ways, which is why we put them in one table instead of crowning one.
Is Quizizz the same as Wayground? Yes. Wayground’s own pages call it “Wayground (formerly Quizizz)”. (Wayground quiz maker, checked Oct 17, 2026)
