A free Kahoot! alternative for when accuracy matters more than speed.
Game-show quizzes are great for energy. When you need to know what each student actually understands, Quizoma is a free Kahoot! alternative built for self-paced quizzes and tests: written answers marked fairly, results per question, and reports you can hand on. No ads, nothing to unlock.
Kahoot! is built for game-show style quizzes — a big screen, a game PIN, points for speed and a leaderboard — and it also offers self-paced challenges. Quizoma is built for quizzes and tests students take at their own pace, with fair marking of written answers and reports. It is free, with no ads.
For a lively review game at the end of a lesson, Kahoot! is hard to beat. For a check you want to trust, or a test that counts, Quizoma fits better.

Where Kahoot! is the better choice
A live game for the whole room
Questions on the big screen, everyone answering at once, music and a leaderboard — Kahoot! is built for that moment, and Quizoma doesn't try to be.
Lots of ready-made games
Kahoot! has a large library of quizzes made by other people. On Quizoma you mostly write your own, with a few free templates to start from.
Where Quizoma fits better
Checks you can trust
Students work at their own pace, so the score reflects what they know rather than how fast they tap. Every result shows accuracy per question, so you see which idea didn't land.
Written answers, marked fairly
Short answers and fill in the blanks with typo-tolerant grading: you choose how strict it is, and you can override any mark — or switch the quiz to manual marking.
Everything free, no ads
Every feature is free today, with no ads and no in-app purchases. By default an account holds 10 quizzes of up to 20 questions each.
Reports you can hand on
Download PDF, Excel or CSV reports for the class, or a parent report for one student that shows the class only as totals — never other students' names.
