Comparison
Kahoot is the default answer in this category and it earned that. The gap is not the quiz software, it is what happens to the invoice when the room fills up.
Every Kahoot! 360 figure below is quoted from their own pricing page, read on 31 August 2026.
| Plan | Price | Billing | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro Start | $19 | per month, billed annually | 50 participants per session |
| Pro Standard | $25 | per month, billed annually | 200 participants per session |
| Pro Plus | $49 | per month, billed annually | 1,000 participants per session |
| Pro Max | $69 | per month, billed annually | 2,000 participants per session |
| Pro Ultra | $79 | per host per month, billed annually | 2,000 participants, up to 5,000 with onboarding |
| Sholix, in the EF bundle | $99 | per month, or $1,008 a year | Unlimited players, 5 seats |
Individual licences are billed annually. Prices exclude VAT. Standard, Max and Ultra are shown at their current promotional rate, discounted from $29, $79 and $99; the undiscounted figures would widen the gap, so the lower ones are quoted here.
Where they differ
WHAT THEY DO WELL
Enormous recognition, a huge public quiz library, and school and enterprise programmes with the procurement paperwork already done. If your organisation has already bought Kahoot centrally, that is a real advantage and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
WHERE WE FIT BETTER
Player count does not appear on your bill. Kahoot prices Pro Start at 50 participants and Pro Plus at 1,000, so growth is an upgrade decision. Sholix is unlimited on the bundle, includes five seats rather than one host licence, and comes with the rest of the Empowered Founders products.
DO NOT SWITCH IF
If you rely on Kahoot's public quiz library, or your institution has a signed Kahoot agreement with support obligations attached, switching costs more than it saves. Migrating a large content library is real work.
IN ONE LINE
Kahoot Pro Plus is $49 a month billed annually for one host and 1,000 participants. The Empowered Founders bundle is $99 a month for unlimited participants, five seats, and every product in the bundle.
The free tier runs a real quiz. Decide for yourself rather than taking our word for any of the above.
