A Microsoft Forms alternative built only for quizzes.
Microsoft Forms is a handy form tool with a quiz mode. Quizoma is a free Microsoft Forms alternative made only for quizzes and tests: typed answers marked fairly, fill in the blanks, per-question timers, retakes and results for every question. No ads.
Microsoft Forms is a form tool with a quiz mode. It marks choice questions, and a text answer is marked right only when its spelling and punctuation match an answer you listed (capitals don't matter). Quizoma is built only for quizzes: a typed answer with a small slip can still count, and you choose how strict each question is.
For surveys, sign-ups and anything in Teams, keep Microsoft Forms. For quizzes and tests with written answers, Quizoma does more of the marking for you.

Where Microsoft Forms is the better choice
Anything that isn't a quiz
Surveys, sign-up sheets, feedback forms and polls for the whole school: Microsoft Forms does all of them. Quizoma only does quizzes.
Schools on Microsoft 365
Forms connects to Teams and the rest of Microsoft 365, and students sign in with their school Microsoft account. Quizoma needs a Google account and has no Teams integration.
Where Quizoma fits better
Typed answers you don't have to re-mark
"Photosynthsis" can still count as "photosynthesis" when you allow it, and "7" matches "seven". You see why each answer scored and can change any mark. Read more on smart grading.
Quiz settings, not form settings
A timer for each question, a reading pause before choices appear, instant right/wrong, retakes and a bonus for quick answers — each one switch, with an ⓘ that explains it.
Results that teach you something
Accuracy for every question, score distribution, and PDF, Excel or CSV reports — including a parent report for one student that never shows other students' names.
Works offline on Android
The Android app keeps a quiz running when the school Wi-Fi drops and sends the answers when the connection is back.
Moving a quiz from Microsoft Forms
Copy the questions out
Paste them into Quizoma as text, or put them in a .csv file: question, options, right answer.
Check and choose settings
Every question is shown for review. Then pick Test, Practice or Speed drill.
Share the code
Post the 6-character code or QR wherever your class looks — a Teams chat, the board or a class group.
Honest limits
Everyone signs in with a Google account, so students who only have a school Microsoft account will need a Google one. By default an account holds 10 quizzes of up to 20 questions each. There is no Teams integration. The browser version, Quizoma Studio, is in beta, and the Android app is free on Google Play from 1 November 2026.
Questions
Yes. Quizoma is free, with no ads and no in-app purchases, and it is built only for quizzes and tests. For surveys, sign-ups and other forms, Microsoft Forms is the better tool.
In a Microsoft Forms quiz a text answer is marked right automatically only when its spelling and punctuation match one of the answers you listed. In Quizoma you can let small spelling slips, number formats and synonyms count, choose how strict that is per question, and override any mark.
There is no Teams integration. Students join with a 6-character code or a QR code, which you can post anywhere, including a Teams chat or channel.
Yes. Everyone signs in with Google, so each answer belongs to a named person and there is no separate password to manage.
