Tchaku vs Kahoot! — which fits your room?
Kahoot! made quizzing a game, and for pure play it's the reference. Tchaku's quiz keeps the game mechanics — countdowns, speed scoring, an animated leaderboard, a podium — but puts them inside a professional deck, so the quiz lives between your content slides instead of in a separate app with a game-show look.
| Kahoot! | Tchaku | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Quiz-game platform with its own game-show visual identity | Professional deck editor whose quiz slides play like a game |
| Look & tone | Playful, fixed branding — great for kids, loud for boardrooms | Your deck's design language; the quiz matches your brand |
| Quiz mechanics | Timed questions, points for speed, podium | Same mechanics — timed scoring, live rank animations, podium — plus per-player answer review |
| Beyond quizzes | Quiz-adjacent formats | Polls, word clouds, scales, rankings, open response — plus the whole deck editor |
| Free tier | Player caps that tighten for work/commercial use | No participant fees on any plan; all widget types free |
| Content around the quiz | Slides exist but are basic | Teach with fully animated slides, quiz without switching tools |
| Pricing | Multiple subscription lines (school, work, home) | Free with 30 AI credits/mo; Pro $12/mo billed yearly; Studio $29/mo billed yearly; $25 one-time Event Pass (7 days of Studio) |

Choose Kahoot! if…

- You want a huge library of ready-made public quizzes to reuse
Choose Tchaku if…
- The quiz is part of a talk, a training, or a lecture — not the whole event
- You want the quiz to look like your organization, not like Kahoot
- You need results attached to the rest of your session (polls, word clouds, CSV export)
Questions
- Do players need the Tchaku app to join a quiz?
- No — players scan a QR and play from any phone browser with a nickname, like they're used to.
- Is the scoring the same as Kahoot's?
- Very close: correct answers score, faster correct answers score more, and standings animate between rounds — with the final podium on screen.
