What Kahoot! costs in 2026
Kahoot! Go is free for teachers: up to 40 players per game, one image per kahoot and basic features. Paid teacher plans on kahoot.com for the US, billed yearly, cost $3 a month for Bronze with 50 players, $7 for Silver with 100, $12 for Gold with 200 and $19 for Kahoot! One with 800. Billed monthly, the same plans cost $9, $15, $25 and $34.99.
Kahoot! 360 plans for companies cost $19 to $79 per licence a month, billed yearly. Paid plans are refunded only within 14 days of purchase.
Kahoot! still does some things better than every tool here. Its free plan lets 40 players compete in one game, and students already know the format: a timer, points and a leaderboard after each question. If the free plan covers your class, there is no reason to switch.
Games like Kahoot: which ones have a leaderboard
Wooclap and Mentimeter work like Kahoot! in class: a question on the big screen, answers from phones and a leaderboard. Wooclap gives 1,000 points for the first correct answer and fewer for each later one, down to 500. Genially runs live quizzes with a code and adds escape rooms and other games played on the student’s own screen. BookWidgets has crosswords, bingo and memory games for self-paced work.
Edpuzzle and Testportal have no game mode. They cover video lessons and graded tests. Klaxoon puts quizzes into team workshops.
How we picked
Each tool comes from a European company in our EdTech Map and is used for the same job as Kahoot!: quizzes and checks of understanding in class or training. Kahoot! itself is from Oslo. Prices and plan limits come from the official pricing pages and our company profiles, checked on 6 October 2026. Prices are in the currency each company shows, without VAT.
We left out Seppo, which sells player licences to companies and schools with no free plan, and Classtime, whose site now focuses on CAASPP test preparation in California and shows no public prices.
