Good fit if
- You teach a class and want automatic grading (Google Forms is the pick)
- You run a school on Microsoft 365 (Microsoft Forms is the pick)
- You want a live competitive game (Kahoot! is the pick)

Not ideal if
- You need paid-tier features, uptime guarantees or support that these free plans leave out
A quiz maker for a classroom needs different things from one for a team meeting or a lead-generation page, and the free plans reflect that. If you want graded quizzes with an answer key and automatic scoring, Google Forms and Microsoft Forms are free with an account and handle multiple-choice well, with little styling. If you want live competition with a leaderboard, Kahoot's free account supports polls and quizzes, but only short sessions for up to 15 participants on its Express tier. For study, Quizlet turns terms into flashcards and tests. For interactive sessions during a talk, Mentimeter and Wooclap allow polls and quizzes with limits on participants or questions per month on free plans. Typeform and Jotform make better-looking quizzes but cap responses on free plans, so they are better for a small branded quiz than a class of 200. Check three things before you build: how many participants the free plan allows, whether results export to a spreadsheet, and whether students need accounts. Build a short quiz first and run it with a test group, because platform limits only show up when real people join at once. The seven tools below have a free tier.
