5 sites to create quizzes: features and limits of the free plans

Transparency: this comparison was written by the QuestioFlux team, one of the tools on the list. To keep it fair, we checked each service's features and limits on its official pages on October 28, 2026 (the links are at the end of the article) and point out where each tool does best, including when it is not ours.

Almost every quiz site has a free plan, but what it allows varies a lot: in one, the limit is the number of participants; in another, the responses per month; in another, the question types. Choosing well depends on what you want to do.

Free plans at a glance

QuestioFlux

QuestioFlux is our tool. It has four quiz types: trivia with a leaderboard, online tests, about me quizzes and personality quizzes.

What the free plan allows:

• quizzes with up to 10 questions and up to 6 options per question;
• online tests with an explanation on every option, which students only see in the answer key, after submitting;
• an answer key with filters to see only the wrong or only the right questions;
• personality quizzes with 2 to 12 results (with images), an optional tie-break question and a result people can share;
• people who answer do not need an account;
• leaderboard, comments, a participants list and the option to hide your own activity;
• sharing by link and embedding on websites.

Limits: images on questions and options, more than 10 questions and more options require QuestioPlus ($2.50 per month) or a one-time pass ($1.99), which unlocks those features on one quiz.

When to choose it: for tests where students need to understand their mistakes, for personality quizzes with your own results and for quizzes made to share on social media.

When not to choose it: for a live game with everyone answering at the same time, Kahoot! and Wayground are a better fit.

Google Forms

The quiz feature in Google Forms turns a form into a graded test.

What the free plan allows (according to Google's help center):

• an answer key on multiple choice, checkbox, short answer, dropdown and grid questions;
• points for each question;
• written feedback, or a YouTube video, for each answer;
• scores released right away or after a manual review;
• an automatic summary with the most missed questions and the average, median and range of scores.

Limits: the help page about quizzes does not mention a response limit or a cost. The focus is the graded test: there is no live game and no built-in personality quiz mode.

When to choose it: if your school already works with Google tools and you want an automatically graded test.

Kahoot!

Kahoot! is the best-known live quiz game in classrooms: the questions show up on the big screen and everyone answers from their phones.

What the free plan (Kahoot! Go) allows, according to the plans page for schools:

• quiz and true or false questions, up to 120 characters;
• live games and sending kahoots as assignments;
• basic reports, with all participants and the hardest questions.

Limits: the official page's FAQ states up to 10 participants per game on the free plan. The comparison table on the same page shows 40, so it is worth checking before using it with a large class. Other question types, such as poll, puzzle and open-ended, are on the paid plans. The cheapest one, Kahoot!+ Bronze, costs $3 per month billed annually.

When to choose it: to liven up a class or a meeting with a live game, especially with small groups on the free plan.

Wayground (formerly Quizizz)

Quizizz is now called Wayground and brings together quizzes, lessons, flashcards and interactive videos, live or at each student's pace.

What the free plan (Starter/Basic) allows, according to its help center (updated May 12, 2026):

• basic question types, such as multiple choice, fill in the blank and poll;
• live activities or activities students do whenever they can;
• content generation with Wayground's AI (may vary by region);
• leaderboard, power-ups and basic class reports.

Limits: up to 20 activities stored in the account. Premium question types and other features depend on the school and district plans.

When to choose it: for teachers who want a complete class activity platform with per-student reports.

Typeform

Typeform is known for one-question-at-a-time forms with a very polished look. It is also used for recommendation quizzes and lead capture.

What the free plan allows, according to Typeform's own page:

• unlimited forms;
• more than 3,000 ready-made templates.

Limits: up to 10 responses per month, across all forms in the account. Advanced logic, which enables paths and score-based outcomes, is on the paid plans.

When to choose it: for a branded form or quiz, when the number of responses is small or you already plan to pay for a plan.

Which one to choose?

• Tests with explained answers for students: QuestioFlux, thanks to the explanation on every option and the answer key with filters. Google Forms also works well, with feedback per answer.
• Live game in the classroom: Kahoot! or Wayground. On Kahoot!'s free plan, watch the participant limit.
• Personality quiz to share: QuestioFlux, with your own results, an image on each result, a tie-break question and a shareable result.
• Branded form to capture leads: Typeform, if 10 responses per month are enough.
• Varied class activities in one place: Wayground.

How we made this comparison

We checked each tool's official pages on October 28, 2026 and only used what they state. When a page does not state a limit, we say so instead of guessing. Plans and limits change often, and we will review this article when that happens.
