Best Quiz Maker Software in 2026

Quiz maker software lets teachers, trainers and event hosts build questions, collect answers and score them. Some products run a live game in a room, others send graded exams to named candidates.

Prices follow audience size, presenters or test attempts. This guide ranks eleven products on setup effort, real price, exit and independence.

Vendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. How that works.

In short

What quiz maker software does

Quiz maker software creates question sets, delivers them live or self-paced to participants, scores the answers automatically and reports results per person, so teachers and trainers can check what was understood.

How we ranked these

5 criteria, in order

Every quiz maker tool was judged on five points in a fixed order: setup effort, cost in practice, how data is exported, how easily you can leave, and the buyer it was designed for. One rule overrides the order: smaller vendors take the first three places when the category offers them, and the best-known brands start at four. We explain on how we work why the tests are these five and why no product receives a score.

#1 Wooclap

Brussels live quiz tool that runs inside slides, Teams, Zoom and LMS

Ranked #1 of 11 in Best Quiz Maker Software in 2026.

Free tierPublished pricingEurope

Wooclap sells a live quiz session built from more than twenty question types, run from a slide add-in or its own presenter view. Paid plans are billed annually, Pro per presenter with the plan admin counted as one, and participants never count towards the bill.

Corporate adds SSO, LMS integrations and a dashboard for six or more presenters. The pricing FAQ states a limit of 1,000 participants per event, which clashes with the unlimited wording on the card.

What stands out
  • Live quizzes
  • Slide add-ins
  • Competition mode
Where it costs you
  • The free Starter plan stops at five questions a month, enough for a trial and little more
  • Basic and Pro list no amount on the plan cards, and Corporate starts at six presenters and is quoted

#2 ClassMarker

Credit-based exam maker for graded tests, certificates and optional camera monitoring

Ranked #2 of 11 in Best Quiz Maker Software in 2026.

Pricing on requestAsia-Pacific

ClassMarker works as a test platform rather than a presentation add-on. Professional 1 includes up to 400 credits a month and Professional 2 up to 1,000, with packs of 50 to 5,000 credits as top-ups.

Each test or survey taken uses one credit, camera monitoring ten. The first ten attempts per paid test taker use no credits when you charge for tests. Yearly plans give two months free, and Enterprise is by contact.

What stands out
  • Graded exams
  • Credit billing
  • Camera monitoring
Where it costs you
  • Its only entry route is a 30-day trial, with no permanent plan for occasional use
  • Camera monitoring costs ten credits an attempt, so proctored exams burn the allowance quickly

#7 Mentimeter

Swedish presentation polling tool where quiz is one question type

Ranked #7 of 11 in Best Quiz Maker Software in 2026.

Free tierPublished pricingEurope

In Mentimeter a quiz is one question type among many, so it fits as a segment of a longer session. The page states that all quiz questions in a presentation count towards a single final winner.

The free tier lets you try it with 50 participants a month, and an eight-hour grace period lets a running session finish after the limit. Basic is the only plan that can be paid monthly, and Pro and Enterprise add SSO and verification options.

What stands out
  • Quiz slides

It supports read-aloud, translation and dyslexia-friendly fonts, plus rostering, LMS and SSO links. The legal entity remains Quizizz Inc., and the home page does not name a headquarters country.

The operating company in the B2B terms is sli.do s. r. o. in Bratislava, under Slovak law, and the footer says Slido is now part of Webex by Cisco. Quiz-heavy buyers should check scoring depth in a trial first.

How to choose quiz maker software

Quiz maker software creates question sets, delivers them live or self-paced to participants, scores the answers automatically and reports results per person, so teachers and trainers can check what was understood. The differences that matter are rarely in the feature list, so this is the order we would work through them.

  1. 01

    Decide whether you need a published price

    1 vendors on this page sell by quote, while 10 publish a pricing model you can read today: Wooclap, Vevox, ProProfs Quiz Maker, Socrative, Poll Everywhere, Mentimeter, Nearpod, Quizizz (Wayground), Kahoot!, Slido.

  2. 02

    Look at where the vendor sits

    Jurisdiction is a buying criterion here. The 11 vendors are spread over 8 countries (Europe 5, Elsewhere 4, North America 1, Asia-Pacific 1), and the home country determines which disclosure rules bind them.

Live game, slide add-in or graded exam: three jobs in Kahoot!, Wooclap and ClassMarker

Quiz maker software covers three jobs that buyers often mix up. Kahoot! and Quizizz (Wayground) turn a quiz into a game for a room. Wooclap, Mentimeter and Slido add quizzes to a presentation or webinar. ClassMarker and ProProfs Quiz Maker send scored tests to named people and keep records.

A game tool will feel thin for compliance exams, and an exam engine will feel stiff in a lecture hall. Before comparing prices, decide whether your answers need identities, grades and certificates or only a lively minute in front of an audience.

  • Write down whether answers must be tied to named people
  • Decide if the quiz runs live in a room or alone later
  • Ask for a demo of your exact use case

What the price counts: presenters, audience, quiz takers or attempts

The unit on the invoice differs a lot. Mentimeter and Poll Everywhere bill per presenter, Kahoot! 360 Pro per licence with a participant ceiling, Socrative per seat, ProProfs Quiz Maker per active quiz taker and ClassMarker per test attempt in credits. Wooclap bills Pro per presenter and does not count participants.

A teacher with one class suits seats. A trainer sending a quiz to thousands of candidates is better served by a flat or credit model, and a public quiz that goes viral can raise a per-taker bill quickly. Calculate cost for your own audience, then for three times that size.

  • Count presenters, participants and attempts per month
  • Price the plan again at three times your audience
  • Ask which add-ons are billed separately

Free plans and trials: what stops working first

Most vendors offer a free route, and each stops at a different point. Wooclap Starter allows five questions a month, Poll Everywhere Intro 40 participants, Mentimeter 50 participants a month, Socrative five quizzes and ProProfs twelve questions. Nearpod Silver caps student joins at 40.

ClassMarker offers only a 30-day trial. The cap decides whether you can run a real pilot with your actual group, so test with the full number of people before you commit. A free plan that cannot hold your class tells you little about the paid one.

  • Run the pilot with your real group size
  • Note which exports are missing on the free plan
  • Check how long reports stay available

Getting results out and leaving: exports, report history, accounts

Quiz results are records, so check how they leave. Mentimeter exports to image, PDF and Excel only from Basic upwards, and Wooclap lists PDF and Excel export from its Basic plan. Socrative keeps reports for 30 days on the free plan and longer on paid ones, while ProProfs keeps 90 days on free. ClassMarker credits in packs expire after twelve months.

Ask each vendor what happens to questions and results if you cancel, and keep a copy of your question bank in a spreadsheet. Vevox, Nearpod and Kahoot! sell mainly through account managers or annual prepayment, so cancelling mid-term rarely returns money. Read the refund clause before the trial ends, and confirm whether an export is included in the price or added later by support request.

  • Export a sample result file during the trial
  • Ask how long reports remain after cancelling
  • Keep your questions in a file you own

What goes wrong most often when buying quiz maker software

  • Choosing a live game tool when the need is a graded exam with certificates and records.
  • Judging a product on its free plan without testing it at the real audience size.
  • Ignoring that per-presenter pricing multiplies when a whole teaching team needs hosting rights.
  • Skipping the export test and finding out at cancellation that results cannot be kept.
