Wayground Pricing: Quizizz Plans, Cost and Basic Plan Limits

Wayground pricing in the United States comes down to two plans. Basic is free for every teacher, forever, with no credit card and no commitment, and it is a real product rather than a trial. School and District is the only paid plan on the US plans page, and it has no published price: you request a quote and pay by purchase order, check, card or ACH transfer. There is no per-teacher paid plan listed for the US right now, which surprises most people who remember Quizizz Super.

That is the short version, read from Wayground's own plans page in September 2026. Wayground is the new name of Quizizz, so anyone searching for Quizizz pricing lands in the same place. Below is what each plan includes, the three limits on Basic that actually decide whether you need to pay, what happened to the Super plan, and where the money is better spent if what you really need is to turn your own materials into assessments.

What each Wayground plan costs and what it includes

The plans page shows Basic and School and District side by side, with a feature comparison underneath. The figures below are lifted from that comparison, not from a third-party listing.

Two add-ons sit on the district tier: the Wayground Original Library item bank and school or district-wide benchmark assessments. Neither has a listed price either. Companies and nonprofits are pointed to separate corporate plans, again quote-based; if you are training a team rather than a class, an auto-graded assessment platform built for organizations is usually the closer fit than a K-12 game engine.

Is Wayground free for teachers?

Yes. The Basic plan is free for every teacher with no time limit and no card on file, and it covers the core of what most people use Wayground for: build or import a quiz, host it live or assign it student-paced, let it autograde, and see the results. The AI features that generate questions, adapt reading levels and explain answers to students are on Basic as well. What Basic does not give you is unlimited storage, all the question types, or district-level reporting, and those are the three things the paid tier is built around.

What does the Basic plan actually limit?

Three caps decide whether the free plan is enough, and they are easy to miss in a long feature list. The first is activity storage: Basic holds a maximum of 20 activities. Twenty is fine for a month and tight for a year. A teacher who builds a quiz for every chapter across two preps will hit it by November and start deleting old work to make room. The second is 100 students, which covers a normal secondary load of five sections but not a large elementary grade team sharing one account. The third is question types. Basic is marked as limited, while the district tier lists all 20+ types, so the drag and drop, hotspot, math response and similar formats live behind the quote.

The other Basic limits matter less. Teleport, the feature that pulls questions out of Wayground's library of other teachers' quizzes, is limited on Basic but not removed. Anti-cheating alerts are on Basic; anti-cheating prevention, which actually stops the behavior rather than reporting it, is district only. School or district shared libraries are district only, which is expected.

How much is the Wayground Super plan?

In the US, it is not on the plans page at all. Wayground's help center still describes an Individual (Super) plan as a paid upgrade for teachers, but every article about it says the same thing: features and pricing differ by region, visit the plans page for your region. When you visit the US plans page you see Basic and School and District only. The practical reading is that individual teacher pricing has been folded into the district sale for US customers, and a single teacher in the US is either on Basic or on a plan the school bought. If your region shows a Super price, take that number from the page in front of you rather than from any blog, this one included.

That also explains why third-party pricing listings disagree with each other. Most of them are quoting old Quizizz Super rates from before the rebrand, and some quote regional prices in dollars without saying which region. Treat any specific Super figure you find online as historical unless the plans page itself shows it.

How does Wayground School and District pricing work?

You click Request a quote, a sales conversation follows, and the price depends on the number of schools and students. Wayground does not publish a per-student or per-school rate, so there is nothing honest to put in a table here. What can be said is how it is paid: the plans page states purchase order, payable via check, credit card or ACH transfer, which is the standard district procurement route. Expect the quote to bundle the LMS integrations, rostering through Clever or ClassLink, the admin dashboard and the Customer Success Manager, because those are what a district is actually buying. A single school can buy it too, but the product is designed for the district-wide reporting story.

If you are the teacher pushing for it, the argument that lands with an administrator is the longitudinal growth graphs and the standards-aligned reporting, not the extra question types. Bring the 20-activity cap as the reason your own workflow breaks on Basic, and the reporting as the reason the district should care.

Wayground pricing vs Kahoot pricing

The two platforms have taken opposite approaches. Kahoot publishes a full ladder of individual teacher plans, from Bronze at $36 a year up to Kahoot One at $228 a year, each raising the participant cap and unlocking features, with the details in our Kahoot plans and pricing breakdown. Wayground gives the individual teacher one free plan and sells only to institutions. If you want to pay a small amount yourself for more headroom, Kahoot lets you and Wayground currently does not. If you want the free plan that does the most, Wayground's Basic is broader than Kahoot Go, with autograding, student-paced assignments and the AI tools all included. Our Kahoot vs Quizizz (Wayground) comparison goes through the feature side in detail.

When Wayground Basic is enough, and when it is not

Basic is enough if you host live or assign student-paced quizzes for a normal class load, you are happy to archive or delete older activities to stay under 20, and the standard multiple choice, fill in the blank, poll and open-ended formats cover your assessments. That describes most teachers, and there is no reason to feel you are on a crippled version.

It stops being enough in two situations. The first is volume. If you build assessments from your own materials for every chapter, every unit, every prep, twenty slots run out fast and there is no individual plan to buy more. The second is the source material. Wayground's AI does accept an uploaded PDF, PPTX, DOC or image, one file at a time, but its documentation states that only the first 16,000 characters are processed, which is roughly six to eight pages of text. A 40-page chapter, a full lecture deck, or a scanned study guide gets cut off without a warning, and the questions cover only the opening pages. The generation step, not the hosting step, is where the evening goes.

That second case is what PDFQuiz is built for. Upload the chapter, deck, notes or scanned pages, choose the question types, and it writes the questions with an answer key from the document itself. You can then run the quiz here as a self-scoring link, export it to PDF or Word with a separate answer key, or paste the questions into Wayground using the route on our PDF to Quizizz (Wayground) page and keep hosting on Basic. Pricing is published: Student is $79 a year, Teacher is $499 a year, and Business is $829 per seat a year, with semester terms available on each. There is no activity cap to manage, and no quote to wait for.

What to do before you request a Wayground quote

Count your activities for a full year, not a month, and count the students who would sit under one account. If both fit under 20 and 100, stay on Basic. If the activity count is the problem and the district is not buying this year, generate the assessments from your own documents somewhere with published pricing and use Wayground Basic as the delivery layer, deleting old activities as you go. If the district is buying, ask the rep specifically about the item bank and benchmark add-ons, since both are listed as add-ons rather than included, and get the LTI and rostering setup written into the quote. And whatever you decide, check the plans page yourself on the day you decide. Wayground has already changed its plan structure once this year, and a price that is not on that page is not a price.
