## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Kahoot runs live and self-paced quizzes that people answer on their own phones. The free Go plan stops at 40 players, the AI tools and most question types sit on the paid tiers, and the tiers climb from $3 to $25 a month, so you end up choosing a step on a ladder.

- **Value for money: B.** Kahoot!+ Bronze is $3 a month billed annually, under 60% of the $7.95 that the cheaper quarter of presentation tools starts at. The tiers people use for bigger groups run $9, $15 and $25.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** Kahoot! Go is free but caps a live game at 40 participants, which a full class can pass.
- **Features: C.** Live and self-paced quizzes, polls and flashcards. The listing shows question types and AI limits that depend on the tier, so there are gaps on the cheaper plans.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating is on record and it needs an account and some setup of your own work, so it sits at the ordinary grade.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iPhone and Android, with Google Slides, PowerPoint, Canva and Keynote links. No desktop app is listed.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of Kahoot you could make: surveys. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. It costs $36 a year.

- You could make: Surveys: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: A slide editor.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
