COMPARE · KAHOOT!
A Kahoot alternative for the living room
Kahoot! made the live multiple-choice quiz famous. The Party Quiz has one too, plus a gameshow board with buzzers and a written pub quiz. Players join free: the host's plan sets the limits, not a fee per player.

The short answer
Choose Kahoot! for lessons, training and large events: it has a huge library of ready-made quizzes, reports, many question types and plans for up to hundreds of players.
Choose The Party Quiz for a party or quiz around one TV: a gameshow board with phone buzzers, a pub quiz with answer sheets, and a quickfire round much like Kahoot's, played solo, like Kahoot, or in teams scored fairly. Players join free and need no account; Quiz Starter covers private and charity evenings, and Quiz Night or Quizmaster covers commercial ones.

Where Kahoot! is the better choice
If you teach, train or run large events, Kahoot! has years of features built for that: a large library of ready-made quizzes, reports on how each player did, integrations and plans that scale to big audiences. If you want to pick an existing quiz and play it in five minutes, its library is hard to beat.
Where The Party Quiz is the better choice
If the evening is a party, a pub quiz or a family gathering around one TV, The Party Quiz fits it better: buzzers that make people shout, action squares that get them off the sofa, a pub quiz that keeps the answer sheets, and scoring where a big team has no head start. Players join free with no per-player fee, and the TV and phones speak seven languages.
Kahoot comparison questions
Is The Party Quiz a free alternative to Kahoot?
Quiz Starter is free: 5 saved quizzes and 250 Quiz Coins per month for private and charity events without paid admission. No card needed. Paid plans add quiz storage, Quiz Coins and capacity; commercial events need Quiz Night or Quizmaster.
Can I import my Kahoot quizzes?
Not directly. The Party Quiz imports its own quiz files; a Kahoot quiz would need its questions copied across, or the AI can draft a new one on the same theme.
Does The Party Quiz have a Kahoot-style app?
No app at all, for the host or the players. Everything runs in the browser, on the TV and on the phones.
