Looked at Kahoot’s pricing and felt overwhelmed?
You’re in the right place. In this article, we’ll break down Kahoot’s cost structure and help you decide if it’s worth the investment for your classroom, training session, or virtual event. Whether you’re a K-12 teacher, corporate trainer, or lecturer, we’ll explore how to bring energy and interaction to your audience, without blowing your budget.
We tested Kahoot across professional, educational, and business settings, so this guide includes real-world pricing insights you won’t find only on Kahoot’s official pricing page.
Kahoot built its reputation as a go-to gamified learning platform, offering everything from live quizzes and team competitions to AI-generated quiz questions and course-building features. Its plans range from free basic tools to enterprise-level packages with LMS integration and branding. But while it excels at engagement and ease of use, its pricing tiers can be confusing, and its value depends heavily on your learning goals and the size of your audience.
In this guide, we'll cover:

Sparking fun and excitement with friends or family and across K-12 institutions, where the goal is gamified engagement on a budget. | Learning scenarios like businesses and universities demanding versatility, deeper interaction, and actionable insights. |
Kahoot’s pricing caters to a broad audience, from parents sparking kids’ curiosity to businesses gamifying training. It’s built around three core use cases:
For Children | For Personal use | For Professionals |
Starts at $5.99/host/month or $2.99/host/month when billed annually | Starts at $7.99/host/month or $3.99/host/month when billed annually | Starts at $10/host/mo and is billed annually |
Kahoot’s most affordable plan, the Children plan, is designed to make learning fun with live Kahoot games for math, reading, and testing core skills. It offers four packages for solo trainers catering to children aged 3-12.
Core packages include:
Next are the Personal and Student plans, which are equally priced but differ in the fact that the Student plan does not support the concept of multiple "hosts" and is explicitly designed for an individual student.
Here are their core packages:
Last but not least is the Professional plan, designed for solo trainers, consultants, or small teams who want to create and deliver engaging in-person and virtual training sessions, presentations, and events.
Aside from the difference in features, the professional plan allows businesses to pay based on how many team members need to use the software, and it’s billed annually. Here are the core packages:
Kahoot’s Personal & Professional Plan
Pros | Cons |
✅ Affordable entry point | ❌ Limited participant caps |
✅ AI question generator included | ❌ No collaborative hub |
✅ Annual discounts | ❌ Only 14 question types |
Kahoot’s Personal & Professional pricing, starting at $5.99-$10/mo, suits budget-focused solo users, but its tiered structure and limits disappoint those needing scale or depth. Parents, students, or small-scale trainers will enjoy the low-cost, fun quizzes, while professionals with larger groups or advanced needs should consider alternatives.
Kahoot’s School Plans | Districts |
Starts at $14.99/teacher/mo for three licences and is billed annually | Requires that you contact support for custom pricing |
Kahoot’s Team and School plan is designed for teachers, schools, and educational institutions that want to increase classroom engagement with fun, gamified experiences. Below is a breakdown of its core packages:

This plan guarantees a quick and easy onboarding process, premium, ready-made, and editable content to supplement curriculum, and shared folders for effortless teacher collaboration. overview of Kahoot's educational plan showing all the packages and prices listed below
Pros | Cons |
✅ K12-friendly pricing | ❌ No live discussion tools |
✅ Scalable for districts | ❌ Basic reporting features |
✅ Course-building capability | ❌ LMS connectivity requires higher-tier plans |
Kahoot’s School plan, starting at $14.99/mo will delight K-12 teachers with tight budgets, but its higher-tier costs and feature gaps will frustrate larger institutions. Small schools or individual educators will love the affordable, gamified lessons, while higher institutions needing robust analytics or integrations should explore alternatives.
Enterprises | ||
Large teams Starts at $20/host/month and is billed annually | Starts at $5/employee/month | One-time event Starts at $250 for unlimited hosts and a maximum of 100 participants |
Kahoot’s large team plan is designed for organizations and businesses that need collaboration tools for a large number of users. It's suitable for corporate training, workshops, or large-scale knowledge-sharing events, offering premium features like team workspaces, image library, company leaderboards, and interactive presentation tools.
The large team plan offers two core packages:
For enterprise teams that want to engage employees across departments, Kahoot offers a dedicated Enterprise plan priced at $5 per employee per month.
The Enterprise plan is billed annually and requires a minimum of 50+ licenses. In addition to the professional interactive presentations and dedicated support offered across other business plans, enterprise users get to enhance their team’s experience with a custom logo, branded UI, and enterprise-grade security.
Finally, for individuals, teams, or institutions that want to gamify a single event with a One-time plan, Kahoot offers a variety of options.
Its core packages include:
Kahoot’s Business Plan: Pros | Kahoot’s Business Plan: Cons |
✅ Professional presentation tools | ❌ High entry for teams |
✅ Performance analytics | ❌ Limited question depth |
✅ Enterprise integrations | ❌ No personalized reporting |
Kahoot’s Business pricing, ranging from $250/event to $6,000/year, suits gamification enthusiasts, but its high team costs and limited depth deter firms needing pedagogical variety. Event planners or small firms hosting playful workshops will love the flexible event plans, while large teams seeking polished engagement tools should explore alternatives.
Kahoot’s free plan starts at $0/month and makes it easy to try out the basic features on each package.
You can use its free plan to create multiple-choice question types, combine ready-to-play Kahoots to form courses, gain access to ready-made templates, and play games with friends. Although the maximum participants per Kahoot is 10 players, this is a great starting point for individual users.
Kahoot’s Personal & Professional Plan: Pros | Kahoot’s Personal & Professional Plan: Cons |
✅ Multiple-choice question type | ❌ Limited to a max of 10 participants |
✅ Goals tracking feature | ❌ No access to quiz games |
✅ Comprehensive help center | ❌ No data export option |
Kahoot’s Free plan, at $0/month, is a steal for casual users, but its 10-participant cap and basic features frustrate those needing robust tools. Budget-conscious individuals will love its multi-choice questions, while educators or trainers with larger audiences should explore paid plans.
While Kahoot offers multiple packages that scale with the number of participants and provide annual discounts, its pricing structure is very convoluted. It fragments features across tiers which makes it frustrating for users needing comprehensive solutions without constant upgrades.
Wooclap, unlike Kahoot, offers straightforward and affordable pricing. Its feature-rich plans make it a strong contender for Kahoot users needing scalability and pedagogical depth, especially in corporate or higher education settings. Here’s a breakdown of its core plans in comparison with Kahoot’s.
For Independent Teachers | For Solo trainers and professionals |
Starts at $7.99/user/month and is billed annually | Starts at $10.99/user/month and is billed annually |
Unlike Kahoot, Wooclap isn’t built only for K12 institutions, so there’s no children's plan. Wooclap’s most affordable plan is the one for independent teachers and students, which is comparable in price to Kahoot’s personal and student plan ($7.99/user/month), but more robust in its feature set.
Wooclap’s plan for independent teachers provides all the basic tools to host unlimited events with up to 1,000 participants. Its core features include all question types, live or self-paced questionnaires, and the ability for hosts to export event results or activities as Excel or PDF.
For Solo trainers and professionals who want to transform daily interactions into engaging experiences, Wooclap's basic plan, priced at $10.99/user/mo, includes all the essentials.
Its basic plan for professionals is 99 cents pricier than Kahoot’s starter plan, but it is more robust in feature set and scope. Not to forget that Kahoot’s professional plan can get as high as $59/host/mo if you want access to its full feature set.
You can use Wooclap’s professional plan to host unlimited events with up to 1,000 participants, access all 21 question types, and track attendance of everyone present in your event.
Wooclap’s Personal & Professional Plan: Pros | Wooclap’s Personal & Professional Plan: Cons |
✅ Simple price plan | ❌ Not as gamification-focused as Kahoot! |
✅ 21 question types | ❌ Annual billing only |
✅ Unlimited attendance sheets | |
✅ Excel and PDF export options |
Wooclap’s Personal & Professional pricing, at $7.99-$10.99/mo, offers straightforward value for Kahoot users put off by tiered, restrictive plans. However, its annual billing might be a bit restrictive if you plan to use it on a short-term basis.
For Full-time teachers | Institution-wide adoption |
Starts at $14.99/teacher/mo and is billed annually | Requires that you contact support for custom pricing |
Wooclap offers a single Pro plan for full-time teachers priced at $14.99/teacher/mo. So it’s easy to conclude that it’s pricier than Kahoot’s educational plan, which is also priced at $14.99/mo, but grants access to three licences.
However, considering that Wooclap's pro plan offers better functionality compared to what Kahoot offers, it’s definitely worth considering. Especially for solo teachers or higher educational institutions that want a straightforward, powerful, and no-nonsense solution.
Wooclap’s unified package comes with the complete set of tools the platform offers, including the ability for students to engage with your lecture through SMS, its anonymous message hub for real-time two-way collaboration, exclusive question types, and personalized reports, which are all non-existent on Kahoot.
For institution-wide adoption, Wooclap, like Kahoot, requires that you contact its customer support service for custom pricing.
Wooclap’s School Plan: Pros | Wooclap’s School Plan: Cons |
✅ AI generator | ❌ No course-building tools |
✅ Anonymous message hub | ❌ Annual billing only |
✅ LMS integration | |
✅ Personalized reports |
Wooclap’s School plan, at $14.99/mo, delivers unified pricing that beats Kahoot’s starter and premium plan for districts and higher institutions that need pedagogical varieties to promote an active learning experience.
Small Teams and Businesses | Corporate Plans |
Starts at $24.99/user/month and is billed annually | For 5+ users, and requires that you contact support for custom pricing |
Small teams and businesses can get Wooclap’s full feature set for $24.99/user/month. This plan’s features are more advanced than Kahoot’s standard and premium plans for large teams, but it’s higher priced.
Its higher pricing for businesses can be justified by the fact that, unlike Kahoot, which is built to gamify kids’ learning experience, Wooclap is designed to boost knowledge retention in complex subjects for higher education and business training.
For access to Wooclap’s Corporate package, which is designed for large teams and enterprises and comes with additional features such as a dedicated customer success manager, custom onboarding & premium resources, you would need to get in touch with support.
Wooclap for Businesses: Pros | Wooclap for Businesses: Cons |
✅ Team collaboration and sharing | ❌ No one-time event plan |
✅ Custom branding and themes | ❌ Minimum 5-user requirement |
✅ Detailed analytics | |
✅ Custom onboarding |
Wooclap’s Business and custom plans for teams and enterprises that want to boost knowledge retention in complex subjects for higher education and business training.
Unlike Kahoot’s restrictive 10-participant monthly limit, Wooclap's free plan supports up to 1,000 participants per event, though it limits you to only two questions per event. You can create unlimited events and access all different question types, with attendance monitoring included.
Pros | Cons |
✅ 1,000 participants per event (100× Kahoot's limit) | ❌ Limited to 2 questions per event |
✅ Unlimited events | ❌ Limited attendance export options |
✅ No monthly participation cap | ❌ Support is limited to the help center |
Wooclap’s Free plan, at $0/month, offers unmatched audience reach for no cost, making it a solid alternative for Kahoot users frustrated by participant caps. Although its two-question limit will push educators with sophisticated needs to paid plans.
Kahoot and Wooclap both spark engagement, but which delivers better bang for your buck? This feature value breakdown compares their feature-to-price ratio, audience interaction, and integrations head-to-head to determine which platform maximizes your investment best.
Kahoot offers solid value for gamified learning, particularly for K-12 students and casual users, with its engaging quiz-based interface. However, its pricing structure can feel restrictive. Its tiers scale with participant limits (e.g., 50–2000 participants) but fragment advanced features across multiple packages, which can feel convoluted for users needing comprehensive tools.
By contrast, Wooclap delivers superior feature value, especially for professional and educational settings. While billed annually, its unified pricing allows each plan (including free) to accommodate 1000 participants, access all 21 question types, and track attendance, making Wooclap more versatile at a comparable or lower price point than Kahoot’s fragmented tiers.
Wooclap’s unified feature sets across plans make it a better value, especially for education and corporate settings. However, Kahoot’s lower entry prices ($5.99–$10) appeal to budget-conscious users within smaller groups.
👉 For more info on Kahoot’s and Wooclap’s feature listings, kindly check out our 2-way comparison of these platforms.
Kahoot excels in high-energy, gamified engagement, particularly for K-12 classrooms and for quick knowledge checks. Its 14 question types and features like live leaderboards, customizable avatars, and background music create a fun, competitive atmosphere. However, its one-way engagement model and limited question types make it less suited for in-depth corporate training or higher education.
Wooclap delivers stronger ROI for businesses and higher institutions, emphasizing thoughtful interaction over gamification. Its 21 question types, including prioritization and framework features, support deeper comprehension and critical thinking. Then there are tools like the interactive message wall, “I’m confused” button, and personalized analytics to foster two-way dialogue during corporate workshops and university lectures.
Wooclap outperforms Kahoot for use cases where knowledge retention of complex topics is the top priority (like corporate training, team meetings, and higher education), while Kahoot excels in gamified settings and for quick knowledge checks (perfect for K-12).
Both platforms support enterprise-grade integrations with video conferencing tools Zoom and Microsoft Teams, as well as design tools like PowerPoint. LMS connectivity to Blackboard, Canvas, Moodle, Brightspace via LTI 1.3 Advantage is also available across platforms. Keep in mind that access to their integration toolsets is locked behind higher-tier plans.
This one is a tie—both can easily integrate with your existing tool stack.
So far, we have focused solely on the subscription fees and feature sets that both platforms offer. However, we all know that the real cost of ownership often lies in the fine print, particularly regarding cancellations, downgrades, and tax considerations.
Kahoot offers a limited 14-day cancellation window, but only for individual consumers who purchase feature subscriptions, not content-based ones like AccessPass or Kahoot Marketplace offerings. And even within this window, business subscribers are excluded, meaning they’re locked into their purchase with no refund options from the moment payment is made.
👉 So subscribing to the wrong plan or failing to cancel on time could lock you into a full billing cycle—or even a whole year—of charges with no financial recourse.
Kahoot's policy ensures that downgrades only take effect at the end of the current billing cycle, and no prorated refunds are issued, regardless of when you downgrade. Once you’ve paid, that money is gone.
Both Kahoot’s and Wooclap’s advertised pricing doesn't include applicable taxes such as VAT:
👉 Neither platform allows account credits to roll over, and taxes aren’t considered on their pricing pages.
Kahoot delivers a fun, gamified experience that’s hard to beat for K-12 classrooms, parents, or casual trainers on a budget. Its low entry prices ($5.99-$10/mo) and vibrant quizzes shine for small groups, but the fragmented tiers, participant caps, and limited depth frustrate users needing scalability or professional polish. It’s a solid pick for stable, year-round K-12 needs with modest audiences.
Wooclap, steals the show for higher education and corporate settings. Its generous free plan (1,000 participants), straightforward pricing ($7.99-$24.99/mo), and robust features—21 question types, personalized reports, two-way engagement—offer unmatched value for academic lecturers and business trainers. It’s the smarter choice for:
