The 9 Best Free Quiz Makers in 2026
Updated June 9, 2026
The best free quiz makers in 2026 are Formkii (unlimited auto-scored quizzes with timers and pass/fail, no participant cap), Kahoot (the iconic live game show, though its free tier now caps at roughly 10 players per session), and Quizizz/Wayground (student-paced quizzes with a huge teacher library, free tier stores 20 activities). Whether you want graded assessments or live game energy decides which one fits.

Quiz makers split into two camps: auto-scored assessment tools that grade answers and track scores, and live game-show tools built for energy and competition. We ranked these nine on free-plan limits — especially live player caps, which quietly make or break classroom and event use — plus question types, auto-grading, and honest drawbacks.
- Free player/participant caps for live quizzes
- Auto-grading, scoring, and pass/fail support
- Question types available for free
- Live game energy vs. self-paced or asynchronous use
- Honest limitations of each free tier
Formkii is our product and leads for unlimited free auto-scored quizzes with no player cap, but it isn't a game-show tool — Kahoot and Quizizz own that experience, and Crowdpurr is purpose-built for live trivia. We say where each wins below.
Formkii
Best for unlimited auto-scored quizzesThat's usFormkii makes unlimited auto-scored quizzes free, with timers, pass/fail, and no cap on how many people take them — plus CSV export of scores. It also covers forms, surveys, polls, and Q&A in one account. What it isn't: a live game show with music and leaderboards. For high-energy competitive rounds, Kahoot or Quizizz are the better fit.

Kahoot delivers the iconic game-show experience — music, streaks, leaderboards, podium — backed by a huge public library, and students and teams already know it. The free player cap, now around 10 per session on free personal accounts, is its biggest limitation; hosting a real class or team event usually means a paid plan (Pro Start $19/mo annual lifts it to 50).
~10 players/session responses · Unlimited kahoots forms
Very low player cap (around 10 per session) on free personal accounts; business free even lower, teacher accounts vary · Multiple-choice and true/false question types only · No reports export · No slide importing or branding
From $19/mo (annual) — 360 Pro Start
- Iconic game-show quiz experience kids and teams already know
- Huge public library of ready-made quizzes
- Strong live energy: music, streaks, leaderboards, podium

Best for: High-energy live quiz games in classrooms and team events
Quizizz (now Wayground) shines at student-paced quizzes with memes and power-ups, a massive teacher-created library, strong AI generation, and good async homework workflows. The free plan stores only 20 activities and live participant caps are unverified after the 2025 rebrand. School pricing is quote-based and the focus is now education-only.
unverified (small live sessions) responses · 20 stored activities forms
20-activity storage cap · Previously allowed up to ~100 live participants as Quizizz (current cap unverified) · Limited access to premium activity library · No standards-aligned reporting or LMS grade syncing · No accommodation profiles or advanced question types
From Quote-based (School/District)
- Student-paced quiz mode with memes and power-ups
- Massive library of teacher-created activities
- Strong AI generation of quizzes/lessons from any content
- 2025 rebrand from Quizizz to Wayground caused confusion
- Pricing for schools is opaque (quote-based)
- Increasingly education-only focus; weak fit for business events
Best for: Classroom quizzes and self-paced student assessments
Google Forms includes auto-graded quizzes free and unlimited, with Classroom integration and results in Sheets. It's the no-cost default for graded assessments and self-checks. It's not interactive or live — no leaderboards, no game mode — and design and logic are basic.
Unlimited (15 GB Drive cap) responses · Unlimited forms
Basic visual customization only (colors, fonts, images) · No true per-question conditional logic (section-based branching only) · No built-in payments · Limited analytics beyond response summaries
From $7/user/mo (annual)
- Genuinely free and unlimited forms/responses
- Seamless Google Sheets/Drive integration
- Familiar, zero-learning-curve interface

- Weak conditional logic and no payments
- Limited reporting/analytics
Best for: Quick, free, no-frills surveys inside the Google ecosystem
AhaSlides offers live quizzes, polls, and word clouds with one of the cheapest paid entry points ($7.95/mo annual) and a free tier for up to 50 participants. It's a solid budget alternative to Kahoot or Mentimeter for live quizzing. The free plan caps interactive slides (5 quiz + 3 poll per presentation), and design polish trails the leaders.
50 participants/presentation responses · Unlimited presentations forms
5 quiz + 3 poll slides per presentation cap · No analytics or exports · No folder organization · Fewer customization options than paid tiers
From $7.95/mo (annual) — Essential

Microsoft Forms makes auto-graded quizzes free with any Microsoft account, feeding Excel and fitting Microsoft 365 classrooms and teams. Free personal accounts cap at 200 responses per form (education/business plans raise this), after which collection stops. Design and question variety are limited compared with dedicated quiz tools.
200/form (free account) responses · Up to 400/user (unverified) forms
Form permanently stops accepting responses at 200 (no way to raise or reopen on free) · Limited design customization · No payments · Best features tied to Microsoft 365 ecosystem

Typeform makes beautiful, conversational quizzes — great for lead-gen scorecards and personality-style results — with AI creation built in. Its free plan caps at 10 responses a month and 10 questions, so anything public needs a paid plan from $25/mo (annual). It's design-led, not built for live competition.
10/month (all forms) responses · Unlimited forms
Up to 10 questions per form · 1 user only · Typeform branding cannot be removed · Forms go private when monthly response cap is hit
From $25/mo (annual) — Basic
- Best-in-class conversational, one-question-at-a-time UX
- Polished design and templates that boost completion rates
- AI form creation built in
- Free plan is nearly unusable for real data collection (10 responses/month)
- Expensive as usage grows; lead-gen Growth plans start around $199-291/mo
- Many features (branding removal, advanced analytics) gated behind higher tiers
Best for: Brands that want beautiful, conversational forms and will pay for them
Jotform supports quizzes alongside its 10,000+ templates and rich field types, with auto-scoring and almost every feature on the free plan (5 forms, 100 submissions a month). It's flexible for graded forms and assessments. The interface can feel cluttered, and it lacks the live game energy of Kahoot; paid starts at $34/mo.
100/month responses · 5 active forms forms
100 MB upload space; 500 total stored submissions · Jotform branding cannot be removed · Single user · No HIPAA features

Crowdpurr is purpose-built for live trivia, with multi-round games, leaderboards, sound effects, lead capture, and OBS/live-stream integration for hybrid events. The free tier caps at 20 participants and 15 questions per experience — too tight for a real event — and paid jumps to $24.99/mo (annual). It's a niche event tool, not a general quiz maker.
20 participants/experience responses · 3 experiences, 15 questions each forms
20-participant and 15-question caps · Crowdpurr branding displayed · 15 minutes/month live streaming · 45 AI question credits · No custom logo or image uploads

How to choose a free quiz maker
Decide between assessment and entertainment. For graded quizzes you can score and export, Formkii, Google Forms, and Microsoft Forms are free and capable — Formkii with no participant cap. For live game energy, Kahoot and Quizizz are the names students know, with Crowdpurr specializing in trivia events, but every live tool here has a free participant cap worth checking before your session. AhaSlides is the budget-friendly middle ground for live quizzing.
If you're quizzing a large group live, confirm the free player cap first. Kahoot's roughly 10-player free limit and Crowdpurr's 20-participant cap surprise hosts mid-event — Formkii's auto-scored quizzes have no such ceiling if you don't need the game-show format.
