Kahoot!
The quiz content got free; the classroom ritual did not.
NOT REALLY
why this verdict
Keep paying — Google has not replaced it
Google's version overlaps, but does not finish the education job, so this one still earns its $17/mo.
- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- Live classroom games are social, not generative. Google, February 21, 2024 — no announcement link recorded yet.
- How much of the job it covers not the job editorial call
- Parts of it. The job still needs the tool to get finished.
- Is there a free way to do it? yes
- 2 of 2 listed replacements have a usable free tier: Quizizz and Blooket.
- What the call is worth $204/yr
- $17/mo at the entry paid tier — $204 a year per seat.

The backstory
Kahoot is a live competitive quiz that a room of students plays together. AI generates the questions — Kahoot added that itself — but the product is the shared experience, the music, the leaderboard. That is a social ritual, not a content problem.
