01 — How it works
Three steps from idea to live game: the AI drafts your questions, you host on the big screen, and players jump in from their own phones.
Type a topic or paste any text and let the AI draft your quiz, or build it yourself with six question types. You review and edit every question before you host.
Start a live game and put it on a projector or TV. ZappyQ shows the join QR code and the six-digit game PIN in the lobby, and latecomers can keep joining until you lock the game.
Players scan the QR code with their phones and jump straight in. No app, no account and nothing to pay. The questions and answers appear right on their own screens.
02 — Features
Built for classrooms, meeting rooms and living rooms. All six question types and on-screen reports are included on every plan; the Host Plan lifts the limits.
Give it a topic or paste an article and get a ready-to-edit quiz draft in seconds, in English or Swedish, at the difficulty you pick. The Host Plan includes 200 generations a month; the free plan includes 10 in total.
Multiple choice, true/false, type the answer, put in order, slider and poll. Every question type is included on every plan, the free plan too. Nothing sits behind a higher tier.
The Host Plan has no player cap and no per-player pricing: invite the whole school, the whole company or the whole party. The free plan takes up to 25 players, a whole class. Players never pay.
The question and the answer options show up on each player's phone too, so nobody has to squint at the projector.
Phone locked? Browser crashed? Players rejoin with one tap and keep their score, streak and rank.
Score by speed or accuracy, or give flat points for every correct answer, plus an optional streak bonus that rewards consistency.
A built-in nickname generator and filter keeps names classroom-safe. Lock the game or remove a player at any time.
See per-question stats and spot the hardest questions on every plan. On the Host Plan you also download everything as a CSV file.
03 — Pricing
No premium tiers, no feature gates and no per-player pricing. Hosts pay one flat monthly price, and players always join free.
25 players per live game, a whole class, and all 6 question types on the free plan. Kahoot! Go allows 40 players on the teacher plan (10 on the personal plan) but only quiz and true/false questions, and reports for 3 participants. ZappyQ's free plan also includes unlimited quizzes, 10 AI generations in total and reports on screen, and it never expires. The Host Plan removes the player cap and adds 200 AI generations a month and CSV export.

No, ZappyQ players do not need an app. ZappyQ runs in the web browser on any modern phone, tablet or laptop: players scan the QR code on the host's screen, or open the join page and type the six-digit game PIN. There is nothing to download, no account to create and nothing to pay.
Yes, ZappyQ is a good Kahoot alternative if you want live quizzes at one flat price. Even the free plan gives you 25 players and all six question types, where Kahoot!

ZappyQ costs $9.99 a month for hosts (€9.99, £8.99 or 99 kr depending on your country), VAT included in the EU, UK and Sweden.

The free plan never expires and needs no card: unlimited quizzes, 10 AI generations in total and live games with up to 25 players. Billed monthly via Stripe, cancel anytime.
ZappyQ's Host Plan has no fixed player cap, so a company kick-off of 300 joins the same way as a class: scan the QR code or enter the six-digit game PIN. The practical limit is your venue and network, not the plan. The free plan takes up to 25 players per live game, enough for a whole class, with all six question types.
ZappyQ's AI quiz generator turns a topic or your own text, such as an article or lesson notes, into a quiz draft. It writes up to 20 questions with answers and explanations at the difficulty you choose, in English or Swedish, and you review and edit everything before going live. The Host Plan includes 200 generations a month; the free plan includes 10 in total. Kahoot! offers its AI tools on paid plans only.
Yes, you can cancel ZappyQ anytime. The Host Plan is billed monthly through Stripe with no commitment, and you cancel from your account whenever you like. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you have already paid for, your quizzes stay in your account, and players are never charged.
Yes, ZappyQ works fully in Swedish. The whole platform, hosting, playing and these pages, is available in both Swedish and English. The AI generator writes questions in either language, and the built-in nickname generator produces family-friendly names in both. You pick a language per quiz, and players see matching text on their own screens.
Nothing is lost when a ZappyQ player loses connection. The game runs on our servers, so a player who drops out simply reopens the page and is reconnected with score, streak and ranking intact. If they miss a question while offline, they just continue with the next one when they are back.
