Kahoot! is well tailored to fit the requirements. Whatever you look for is found in Kahoot! therefore it saves you a lot of time in designing training programs while other applications/platforms require a lot of efforts and it is hard to find your way through on the web and there a lot of downloading taking place.

Kahoot is more interactive than Quizlet and Google Classroom providing more engaging learning tools when using. I like Kahoot over Quizlet because of the choice and fun activities that students and teachers can use to check understanding and expand concepts. It gets students excited to learn and review topics in a competitive way.

It is easy to use, more convenient and easy to understand to use. Other application needs to choose first the user photo before joining the game. Most of them has a lag or crash moment.

I forgot the names of the other products like Kahoot. I think that summarizes how close I am to favoring Kahoot within this category. In our field when it's webinar time we always look forward to Kahoot sessions in between or at the end of the session. It is great to have Kahoot during these times

I only experience Kahoot and joinmyquizz and have an enjoyable experience. For me, Kahoot is more user-friendly compared to the other game tool. Also, it is not confusing in terms of questions and answers and you will see the rank leader right away. I think Kahoot is most useful than the others and easy to use and modify.

I have not left a review for Quizlet on the website, but it is the closest experience I have had within a similar field group. I've never used Quizlet within a work environment, however, I like that Quizlet allows you to establish your own questions and tests and apply that to the knowledge that you have gained directly from the software itself. Kahoot! is different in the way that it's more interactive and personable for the people involved. It's less about the "quiz" per se and more about the experience from which comes of it. In our place of work, that is very helpful and useful as we work remotely.

Most of the time, the organizers of the webinars or training I attended are using Kahoot. It's fun to use, the fun music while using it, and the cute images. It makes the event lively and exciting while playing.

It is a slightly different program. Kahoot allows for a game against everyone while Quizlet allows the user to play various learning games such as matching and flashcards. Quizlet Live is similar in that there is a gaming aspect but the game is different in that Kahoot everyone plays for themselves and Quizlet Live teams up some students against other groups of students in the same game.

Kahoot is better for my competitive students, they love seeing their name constantly on the leaderboard. Kahoot has more lessons to chose from and my students simply like it more than Quizizz. Quizizz is good for more formal assessments, while Kahoot is better for more whole review of content. Both are appropriate in different situations!

Poll Everywhere had some cool and handy features but didn't offer a robust amount of options for our team, offering tools for internal and external communications. Poll Everywhere also offered a wide array of integrations that were extremely useful but weren't enough to sway our leadership team.

Kahoot is more engaging than Quizlet. Quizlet is simple and clean. Kahoot's user interface is a bit brighter and busier. Students pay more attention to Kahoot, and request to use it when reviewing information from a lesson or chapter. Kahoot can be used for multiple components of the same lesson. Quizlet also has not added many new features, while Kahoot continues to evolve and provide insight into topics like social emotional learning and professional development.

We've used Qualtrics in the past to collect the information, but it really isn't designed to be used as a "quiz" feature. We have to export each student's answer individually and that's a tedious process. There's also no automatic feedback. We've also used Quizziz a few times recently instead of Kahoot! and actually like that software a lot too. It has some additional features that aren't available in Kahoot!.

Blue Canoe includes games to provide users more means to learn the language in a different way. This program marks each day and sets goals for users to improve participation and engagements. However, it does not have an interface that students and teachers can both work together for the same game. Kahoot! provides more features for educators and all users to increase interaction in class and at home. Moreover, there is no cost to use Kahoot! for the basic plan which covers most features.

We have also used myQuiz.org which is a totally free alternative. We use them both right now. Kahoot! has more features and looks more polished but myQuiz gets the job done if you need to quickly throw together a simple quiz competition at no charge. myQuiz isn't suited for teams, etc. but pricing can't be beat.

Kahoot offers a plethora of options for creating learning activities to use in the classroom. The variety of choices that I can incorporate when making Kahoots allows me to keep my learners actively engaged. I can differentiate learning for all of my students easily using Kahoot challenges. The ability to also use Kahoot outside of the classroom keeps my students learning and practicing independently.

Kahoot! is very similar to programs like GimKit or Quizlet or Quizziz. I find Kahoot! to be easier to use and it has greater capacity for free storage of quizzes. I have some I've used in past years and they're still available to me. Low cost is exceptionally important to me.
