Experience & key features

What Kahoot! is

Kahoot! is a game-based learning platform from the Norwegian company Kahoot! ASA, based in Oslo. Its company page says it was founded in 2012 and launched to the public in 2013. Teachers, trainers or students build question sets; players join with a code on a phone or computer and compete for points in real time. The company says 10 million teachers hosted a Kahoot! in the past 12 months. In early 2024 its shares were delisted from the Oslo Stock Exchange after an acquisition led by Goldman Sachs Asset Management.

Key features

The plan comparison page lists Classic, Accuracy and Unplugged live modes, plus self-paced assignments and flashcards. On paid plans, AI generates question sets from a topic, URL, Wikipedia article or file. In September 2025 the company announced student AI tools: turning handwritten notes and documents into study sessions, a question extractor for exams, a step-by-step solver, a Test Mode that simulates exam conditions (Kahoot!+ Gold) and free offline study.

Pricing and value

On the pricing page (VAT included), Go is free for teachers. Billed monthly, Kahoot!+ Bronze (50 participants) is 9 USD, Silver (100) 15 USD, Gold (200) 26 USD and Kahoot! One (800) 35 USD. Yearly billing is much cheaper: regular Silver, Gold and One prices work out to 9, 15 and 25 USD/month, and until 15 November the page sells the four plans at 36, 72, 120 and 228 USD/year. Team & School, District and EDU plans have no public price. Consumers have 14 days to withdraw from Kahoot!+ for a refund.

More analysis

Compared with alternatives

Kahoot! is strongest at live, whole-class games. If you mainly assign work for students to do at their own pace, compare Wayground (Quizizz); for personal flashcard study, compare Quizlet. Google Classroom is a different kind of tool, for class management and grading, and can run alongside Kahoot!.

Cancellation & refunds

Per the help center, consumers can withdraw from a feature subscription (such as Kahoot!+) within 14 days of purchase for a refund; this is not self-serve and goes through a withdrawal button under Manage subscription (in some jurisdictions) or support. Content subscriptions such as AccessPass are not refundable. Cancellations and downgrades take effect at the end of the billing cycle and paid fees are not returned.

Privacy

The privacy notice (effective 22 October 2026) says Kahoot! does not sell personal information, does not share it with third parties for marketing and runs no third-party advertising in its services. It says it does not use personal data collected through the platform to train large language models and does not allow its AI vendors to. For child accounts (under 13 in the US, under 16 elsewhere) it collects only an email, altered so it works only for password reminders and cannot be used to contact the child; for school use, the school handles parental consent. Data may be transferred outside the user's country under mechanisms such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses. On the App Store the developer declares purchases, contact info, user content, search and browsing history, identifiers, usage data and diagnostics as linked to the user, with none used for tracking.

There is a free Kahoot! Go plan for teachers, but it limits players, question types and teams and has no AI creation. Paid Kahoot!+ plans add features and raise the participant cap.

How many players can join one Kahoot! game?

Per the plans page: Bronze 50, Silver 100, Gold 200, One 800. For free Go the FAQ says 10 and the comparison table says 40, so check before relying on it for a large class.

Consumers can withdraw from a feature subscription within 14 days of purchase for a refund, via a withdrawal button under Manage subscription or by contacting support. Content subscriptions such as AccessPass are not refundable, and cancelling mid-cycle does not return fees already paid.

Scores

Ease of use
8.5
Why this score

Players join with a code, and on paid plans AI drafts questions from a topic or file. Store ratings are 4.6/5 (App Store, about 48,000 ratings) and 4.7/5 (Google Play, nearly 860,000 reviews).

Features
8.0
Why this score

Many game modes and question types, flashcards, assignments and reports; but the free plan lacks most question types and all AI creation, and Kahoot! is no substitute for class-management and grading tools.

Value for money
7.0
Why this score

A free plan exists, but its player cap is stated as either 10 or 40. Paid plans cost 9–35 USD billed monthly; billed yearly, regular Silver, Gold and One prices work out to 9, 15 and 25 USD/month, discounted until 15 November.

Performance
7.5
Why this score

No independent stability measurements found; the score rests on strong store ratings and a stated cap of 800 participants on the One plan.

Support
7.0
Why this score

A help center, community and online support on every plan including Go; the plans page does not say which plans get faster responses. The 14-day withdrawal refund is not self-serve.

Privacy & security
7.5
Why this score

Commits to no data sales, no third-party ads and no LLM training on platform data; offset by possible cross-border processing and a broad App Store declaration of linked data, including search and browsing history.
