Software advice
Best AI Quiz Makers in 2026
An AI quiz maker is software that builds quizzes, polls and graded tests for classrooms, live events or training, and uses language models to draft questions from a topic, slide deck, PDF or web page. It is not a learning management system, and it cannot guarantee that a generated question is correct. A person still reviews every item before participants see it.
Quick answer
Kahoot ranks first for posted prices and the widest AI question suite. Vevox is the pick for a free plan with AI question creation and EU hosting, and Quizizz (Wayground) suits schools that want SOC 2 and ISO 27001 statements.
Buying an AI quiz maker means choosing between three jobs that share one label: a game for a room full of learners, a poll inside a slide deck, and a scored test with certificates. The AI part is usually question drafting, and the useful differences sit elsewhere: how many participants a plan allows, whether the price is posted, where responses are stored and whether the vendor says it trains models on them. This ranking judges those points from each vendor's own pages, checked in November 2026. Where a page contradicts itself, the entry says so instead of picking a side. Generated questions need a human read before use, whichever product you choose.

Kahoot takes first place because every paid tier shows a price and a participant cap, and its AI suite is the widest described in this ranking, from an assistant to generators for slides, PDFs, URLs and Wikipedia. Its policy says neither Kahoot nor its AI vendors train on platform data. The pricing page contradicts itself on billing, and the full suite starts at Pro Plus.
Strong on
- Posted prices and caps from 50 to 5,000 participants make cost planning possible before a sales call
- Question generation from slides, PDFs, URLs and Wikipedia, plus a PDF question extractor
- Privacy policy states no model training on personal data, by Kahoot or its AI vendors
Weak on
- Monthly prices are listed while the FAQ says Pro plans are billed annually only
- Full AI suite sits on Plus, Max and Ultra, not on Pro Start
- Pro Max and Pro Ultra both show USD 79 per month, which the page leaves unexplained
Skip it if: Buyers who need a published hosting region or certifications, since the notice names neither and points to a Trust Center. Pro Start lists USD 9 monthly or USD 108 yearly per licence, capped at 50 participants, excluding VAT.
- 2
Vevox ranks second because its Free Forever plan includes AI question creation, quizzing, Teams and PowerPoint integrations and up to 100 participants, while its terms name ISO 27001 and primary hosting in Ireland. It loses first place on billing, since monthly prices appear beside an FAQ saying annual only, and on integrations that other than Teams and PowerPoint are marked contact Vevox.
Strong on
- Free plan includes AI question creation and Microsoft Teams and PowerPoint add-ins
- Primary hosting on AWS in Ireland, with ISO 27001 stated in the app terms
- Speed-scored quizzes on Pro rank participants by answer time as well as accuracy
Weak on
- Billing conflicts: monthly prices are shown, but an FAQ says monthly payment is not offered
- One user only on Free and Starter, so team use needs Enterprise
- Training on customer data is not addressed in the terms or privacy policy read
Skip it if: Teams that need several users on a low-cost plan or a clear LMS integration list. Starter is EUR 11.95 monthly or EUR 143.40 yearly; Pro list price EUR 24.95 monthly, discounted with a code.
- 3
Quizizz, sold under the Wayground name, ranks third because its privacy policy states a completed SOC 2 Type II examination, maintained ISO 27001 certification and no training of AI providers on its data. Roster sync with Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology and Clever is a practical edge. It falls behind the top two on price visibility, with no School or District amount published.
Strong on
- Policy states SOC 2 Type II examination and ISO 27001 certification, both unusual in this category
- Roster and grade sync with Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology and Clever on School plans
- Game and exam modes with focus mode and redemption questions
Weak on
- School and District prices are not published and need a quote or purchase order
- Free Basic stores only 20 activities and restricts question types
- Data is hosted in the United States, with no EU region named
Skip it if: European organizations that need data held in the EU, and individuals who want a published paid price. Basic is free for individual teachers; School and District plans are quote-based with no amounts shown.
- 4
Mentimeter ranks fourth because it posts Basic and Pro prices and keeps customer data in the EU by default, but quizzing is one slide type, and the only AI feature named is Menti AI with no scope given. Its free plan page conflicts with itself on participant limits. It suits presenters who want polls first and a quiz second.
Strong on
- Basic and Pro prices are posted per presenter, with unlimited participants named from Basic
- Imports PowerPoint, Keynote and Google Slides decks and exports results to PDF and Excel
- EU data hosting by default, with limited transfers under Standard Contractual Clauses
Weak on
- Free participant limit appears as 50 per month in one table and unlimited once a month on the plan card
- AI is limited to one named feature, Menti AI, on the Free plan
- LMS integration and custom retention need a quoted Enterprise plan
Skip it if: Classroom teachers who need games, rosters and a deep AI question builder. Basic is USD 11.99 per presenter monthly, billed yearly, excluding tax; Pro is USD 24.99.
- 5
Wooclap ranks fifth because its AI list is long, with a question builder, follow-up questions and brainstorming summaries, and its policy states that customer content is not used to train models. The Belgian vendor integrates with PowerPoint, Zoom, Teams and four LMS products. The five-question free cap and the absence of posted paid amounts keep it below the price-visible tools above.
Strong on
- Names an AI question builder, follow-up questions and a brainstorming summary, with Pro adding AI-powered sessions
- Integrations named for PowerPoint, Google Slides, Zoom, Teams, Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard and Brightspace
- Policy says user content is not used to train AI models, with subprocessors listed
Weak on
- Basic and Pro monthly amounts are absent from the pricing page
- Participant cap reads 1,000 in the FAQ but unlimited in the Starter list
- The pricing table does not show which plan includes which AI feature
Skip it if: Buyers who need a firm price from the website or a free tier above five questions. Starter is free with five questions a month; Basic and Pro amounts are not shown, billed annually excluding VAT.
- 6
ProProfs Quiz Maker ranks sixth because it builds quizzes from topics, documents and URLs and adds essay grading, which suits training more than live events. Prices per active quiz taker are posted, but Essentials stops at 300 takers and SCORM, API and SOC 2 wait on the top tier. Its policy lets de-identified data improve its own AI features.
Strong on
- AI quiz creation from documents and URLs, plus AI essay grading, from Essentials
- Posted per-taker pricing from USD 19.99 per 100 active takers, plus a USD 4 K-12 teacher plan
- SCORM and TinCan export, API, webhooks and SOC 2 on Business Complete Elite
Weak on
- Free plan allows 12 questions in total, including lead fields
- Essentials caps at 300 active quiz takers and Business at 500
- Hosting region is not stated in the privacy policy
Skip it if: Presenters running live game-style sessions in a meeting or classroom. Essentials is USD 19.99 per 100 active quiz takers monthly, capped at 300 takers; billed annually USD 239.88.
- 7
Socrative ranks seventh because teachers get a free plan, a USD 10 Essentials tier and AI question generation, import and report analysis with quotas posted by plan. The trade-off is data and reach: storage sits in US data centers, no LMS or meeting platform is named, and the policy says general-purpose AI providers handle generation without addressing model training.
Strong on
- Posted weekly AI quotas rise from 15 generations on Free to 150 on Pro
- Automatic grading with rooms, rostered rooms and advanced reports from Essentials
- Transform Existing Quizzes converts an earlier quiz into a Socrative assessment
Weak on
- Free allows 5 quizzes, 1 room and 50 students per activity
- No integration with a learning platform or meeting tool is named on the pages read
- Primary storage is in AWS data centers in the United States
Skip it if: Schools that need LMS sync or an EU data region named by the vendor. Essentials is USD 10 per seat monthly or USD 120 yearly; Pro is USD 16.67 per seat monthly.
- 8
Poll Everywhere ranks eighth because it posts five tiers from free to custom and states that its AI provider does not train on prompts or responses. AI is metered in prompts, from 10 a month on Intro to unlimited on Engage. It is a polling product first, and the plans page maps few quiz features, so quiz buyers must test it.
Strong on
- AI prompt quotas are posted per plan, from 10 a month on Intro to unlimited on Engage
- Privacy policy says the AI provider does not train on prompts, responses or uploaded documents
- PowerPoint integration is included even on the free Intro plan
Weak on
- Intro audience is capped at 40 people and gives no reporting
- The plans page does not say whether audience caps apply per poll or per month
- Quiz-specific features are not mapped to plans on the page
Skip it if: Teachers who need game-style quizzes, rosters or an LMS connection. Present is USD 10 monthly, billed annually at USD 120; Engage is USD 49 monthly billed annually.
- 9
Nearpod ranks ninth because quizzes live inside teacher-led lessons rather than as standalone quiz tools, and the AI Create generator starts only at Gold. Annual prices of USD 159 and USD 397 are posted, and school licenses are quoted. The privacy notice names the United States for storage and does not address AI training, and the vendor states no headquarters country.
Strong on
- Posted annual prices for individual educators, with a free Silver plan and a 22,000-plus resource library
- AI Create question generator from Gold, and for lessons and activities on school licenses
- Live and student-paced delivery, with LTI and rostering on school and district plans
Weak on
- Silver caps joins at 40 students per lesson and lists no AI features
- Gold and Platinum are annual and non-refundable, with no refund for part of a period
- The privacy notice does not address model training and names the Privacy Shield framework
Skip it if: Event hosts and corporate trainers who need quizzes outside a classroom lesson. Silver is free; Gold is USD 159 and Platinum USD 397 per year, annual and non-refundable.
- 10
ClassMarker ranks tenth because it is a test-delivery product with a 30-day trial, credit-based billing and AI exam proctoring, not a question generator. No page read names AI question creation, and no plan price is shown, so a buyer cannot cost it from the vendor's site. Teams that grade formal tests may still find it fitting.
Strong on
- Credit model charges per test attempt, so cost follows usage rather than seats
- AI exam proctoring is included in every plan and credit pack, using 10 credits per camera attempt
- Custom certificates, randomized questions, time limits and instant results
Weak on
- Plan and credit pack prices are absent from the pricing page
- No AI question generation is named on the pages read
- No learning platform or meeting tool is named, only an API and webhooks
Skip it if: Anyone who wants AI to draft questions or run an interactive live session. Billing is by credits, one per test attempt; plan and credit pack prices are not shown on the page.
- 11
Slido ranks last because the pages read left too much open. It lists live quizzes, AI poll suggestions and five integrations, but plan limits, paid prices and the data policy could not be read, as the privacy page returned an error. For a buyer, that means asking Slido directly for plan limits, prices and its data terms before trusting any statement made about the product here.
Strong on
- Names integrations with PowerPoint, Webex, Google Slides, Microsoft Teams and Zoom
- Slido AI suggests poll questions and refined wording, per the homepage
- A forever-free Basic plan exists as an entry point
Weak on
- Plan names, limits and prices for paid tiers were not visible in the pages opened
- Basic plan limits for participants, polls and quizzes are not stated
- The vendor's data policy was not checked, so training, hosting and retention are unknown
Skip it if: Buyers who must confirm data terms or plan limits from the vendor's website alone. The homepage shows EUR 15 per month for a plan it does not name; plan tabs did not render prices.
How these AI quiz makers were judged
How good are AI-generated quiz questions?
No page read for this ranking publishes an accuracy test of generated questions, so quality is judged by what each vendor says its AI does. Kahoot names an assistant plus generators for slides, PDFs, URLs and Wikipedia. ProProfs builds quizzes from topics and files and adds essay grading. Socrative meters question generation, import and report analysis by weekly quota. Vevox and Poll Everywhere offer question creation, while Mentimeter, Quizizz and Slido name an AI feature without describing its scope. ClassMarker names only exam proctoring. Generate twenty questions from one of your own documents and mark every wrong or ambiguous item before you choose.
What does an AI quiz maker cost in 2026?
As of November 2026, entry prices cluster near ten dollars a month: Kahoot Pro Start USD 9, Socrative Essentials USD 10 per seat, Poll Everywhere Present USD 10 billed annually, Mentimeter Basic USD 11.99 per presenter billed yearly, and Vevox Starter EUR 11.95. ProProfs charges USD 19.99 per 100 active quiz takers, and Nearpod Gold is USD 159 a year. Wooclap, ClassMarker and Quizizz show no paid amounts on the pages read, and Slido shows EUR 15 a month without naming the plan. Participant caps drive the real bill more than seats. Kahoot and Vevox list monthly prices while their FAQs say annual billing only.
Is my quiz data used to train AI models?
Statements differ, and several vendors are silent. Wooclap, Kahoot and Quizizz say they or their AI providers do not train on customer data, and Poll Everywhere says the same about prompts and responses. ProProfs says personal data is not used for third-party models but allows de-identified data to improve its own features. Vevox, Mentimeter, Socrative, ClassMarker and Nearpod made no training statement on the pages read. For Slido the vendor's policy was not checked. Vevox names Ireland as primary hosting and Mentimeter hosts in the EU by default, while Quizizz, Socrative, Poll Everywhere and Nearpod name the United States.
How hard is it to move quizzes to another tool?
Question banks move poorly between quiz tools, so lock-in depends on export and import features. Mentimeter exports results as image, PDF or Excel from Basic, and Wooclap offers PDF and Excel export plus question import from its Basic plan. Vevox lists data exports from Starter. ProProfs adds SCORM and TinCan export only on its top tier, and only ClassMarker and ProProfs name an API. Socrative converts earlier quizzes into its own format, which helps coming in but says nothing about leaving. Before paying, export one finished quiz with its results and try to rebuild it elsewhere.
Which quiz maker fits a classroom, a webinar or a training course?
Match the tool to where participants sit. Classrooms with a roster suit Kahoot, Quizizz, Socrative and Nearpod, which pair games or lessons with teacher accounts. Presenters in Teams, Zoom or PowerPoint suit Mentimeter, Wooclap, Vevox, Slido and Poll Everywhere, where a quiz is one slide among polls. Compliance training and exams suit ProProfs and ClassMarker, which grade attempts, issue certificates and bill by taker or credit. A mixed audience of a thousand people needs a plan whose participant cap is posted, which narrows the field quickly.
How to choose an AI quiz maker in three steps
- Count participants and sessions first. Write down the largest group you will ever run and how often. Caps decide the plan: Kahoot starts at 50 participants, Vevox Free allows 100, Poll Everywhere Intro allows 40 and Nearpod Silver allows 40 student joins per lesson. A weekly seminar of 30 fits most free plans, while a town hall of 800 pushes you to a paid tier with a stated cap. Rule out any plan whose limit is unclear on the page, and ask the vendor in writing.
- Test generation with your own material. Upload one real handout, deck or URL to each shortlisted tool and generate the same number of questions. Mark each item as usable, needs editing or wrong, and note how many answer options are ambiguous. The gap between tools shows up on specialist content more than on general knowledge. Also check the quota: some plans meter AI by the week or month, so a free tier that looks generous can run out during an exam week, and a paid tier with unlimited prompts may be the cheaper route for a heavy user.
- Check data terms before you add learners. Read the privacy page for three points: training on customer data, hosting region and retention. If students or employees in the EU take part, ask for a data processing agreement and confirm where subprocessors sit. Where a vendor's page is silent on training, treat that as unknown rather than as a no. Also check whether results contain names or only anonymous answers, because that decides how much personal data the tool holds after the session ends and how long it keeps it afterward.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best AI quiz maker in 2026?
On this ranking Kahoot is first for posted prices, a wide AI question suite and a no-training statement. Vevox is second for a free plan with AI question creation and EU hosting, and Quizizz (Wayground) is third for schools that want SOC 2 and ISO 27001. The right pick depends on audience size and where data may be stored.
Is there a free AI quiz maker?
Several vendors name a free plan with an AI feature. Vevox Free includes AI question creation and up to 100 participants, Socrative Free allows 15 AI question generations per week, Poll Everywhere Intro gives 10 AI prompts per month, and Mentimeter Free lists Menti AI. Wooclap Starter is free but capped at five questions a month, and ProProfs Free allows 12 questions.
Which AI quiz makers host data in Europe?
Vevox names AWS EU-West-1 in Ireland as its primary region, with US storage only on client request. Mentimeter says customer data at rest is in the EU by default. Wooclap lets customers choose AWS in France or Oregon but names no primary region. Quizizz, Socrative, Poll Everywhere and Nearpod name the United States, and Slido's policy was not checked.
Do AI quiz makers train on student answers?
Kahoot, Wooclap and Quizizz say they or their AI providers do not train models on customer data, and Poll Everywhere says its provider does not train on prompts or responses. ProProfs excludes personal data from third-party training but may use de-identified data for its own features. Vevox, Mentimeter, Socrative, ClassMarker and Nearpod made no statement on the pages read.
Can an AI quiz maker replace writing questions by hand?
It replaces the first draft, not the review. Vendors describe generation from topics, slides, PDFs and URLs, but none of the pages read publish an accuracy rate for the output. Plan to read every question, fix ambiguous answer options and remove items that go beyond the source material. Specialist or fast-changing subjects need the most editing.
What is the difference between a quiz maker and a polling tool?
A quiz has right answers and often scores, ranks or grades participants, while a poll collects opinions. Tools such as Mentimeter, Slido and Poll Everywhere treat a quiz as one slide type inside a polling deck. Kahoot, Quizizz, ProProfs and ClassMarker put the quiz first, with scoring, modes or certificates built around it.
How much does it cost to run a quiz for 500 people?
It depends on the participant cap and billing unit. Kahoot Pro Plus allows up to 1,000 participants at USD 39 per month, Vevox Pro up to 1,500 at a listed EUR 24.95 per month, and Mentimeter Basic lists unlimited participants at USD 11.99 per presenter. Poll Everywhere Present covers 700 for USD 10 a month. Wooclap and Quizizz publish no paid amounts.
Do quiz makers work inside PowerPoint, Teams or Zoom?
Many do. Wooclap names PowerPoint, Google Slides, Zoom and Teams, Vevox names Teams and PowerPoint, Slido names PowerPoint, Webex, Google Slides, Teams and Zoom, and Kahoot names Teams, Zoom, PowerPoint and Google Slides. Poll Everywhere names PowerPoint only. Which plan includes which add-in is often unclear on pricing pages, so confirm before buying.
