The Kahoot! alternative built for the whole room

The short versionQuack gives you Kahoot-style live quizzes plus polls, word clouds and Q&A in the same deck. The free plan hosts up to 300 players per session, where Kahoot!'s free work plan (Kahoot! 360 Express) allows 15 participants in sessions of up to 15 minutes. Quack Plus is a flat €12 a month billed monthly, rather than a per-presenter license billed yearly.

Kahoot! made live quizzes a classroom staple. Quack brings the same game-show energy to live quizzes, polls and word clouds, free for up to 300 players per session, joined from any phone in seconds.

One deck in running order: open with a poll, quiz through the middle, take questions at the end. Any format can go anywhere.

Pick Quack if…

  • You want polls, word clouds and Q&A in the same deck as the quiz.
  • You want rooms of up to 300 players on the free plan.
  • You want one flat price, €12 per host a month, billed monthly, with a 14-day trial.

Pick Kahoot! if…

  • You assign self-paced homework through mobile apps; Kahoot!'s app ecosystem and study modes are mature and hard to beat.
  • You want a giant library of ready-made quizzes to play as-is rather than building your own.
  • You regularly host more than 300 players and a Kahoot! 360 plan sized for 1,000 to 5,000 participants earns its keep (Quack handles bigger rooms on Enterprise).

A session has three jobs.

Ask something and score it, read the room, take questions from the floor. One Quack deck holds all three, in whatever order the hour needs.

The same game energy, for the whole room

Kahoot!'s work plans are licensed per presenter and sized by audience: 15 participants on the free Express plan, then 50 to 5,000 on its yearly Pro tiers. With Quack you don't have to size your room in advance: every session holds up to 300 players on the free plan, with the points, streaks and podium that make it feel like a game show.

More than multiple choice

Alongside scored quizzes (multiple choice, true/false, type the answer, guess the number, put in order and more), Quack runs the formats audiences expect from a poll tool: live word clouds, rating scales, rankings, open text and live Q&A with upvotes. One deck moves from icebreaker to quiz to retro without switching products.

A deck in minutes, not an evening

Describe your topic and Quack AI drafts the full deck (questions, answer options, correct answers) ready to edit and play. On Plus (€12 a month, or €120 a year), you also get your own colors and logo on every slide, deck co-editing with your team, and CSV exports of results.

Where Quack is still catching up

So you know before you switch. Each of these is how Quack works today.

  • No add-in for PowerPoint, Google Slides, Teams or Zoom yet. You present from Quack in the browser, and on Plus you can import a PowerPoint file to start from.
  • No LMS integration yet (Canvas, Moodle, Google Classroom). On Plus, results export as a spreadsheet.
  • A small set of templates to start from, not a library of millions of community quizzes.
  • Up to 300 players per session on Free and Plus. Bigger rooms need an Enterprise agreement.
  • Q&A questions appear as they are sent; they can't be held for approval first. You can pin or hide live comments.
