A live quiz for a one-time event — pay only when you go live
Most quiz tools want a monthly subscription even if you only run a quiz once. Quiz Showdown is built for exactly the opposite: build and design your quiz for free, and pay only to launch it live — from $4.99, with no subscription and no auto-renew. Your audience joins from any phone by code or QR, with unlimited players and no per-seat fees.
Launch live from $4.99
Building and designing is free; a live launch costs 8 credits, and a $4.99 Starter pack is 30 credits — enough for your first event with room to spare.
Unlimited players
Ten people or a packed room — no caps and no per-seat fees, ever.
Ready in minutes
Generate a quiz on any topic with AI in about a minute, or upload your own questions.
Perfect for
A one-off launch party, a single all-hands, a wedding or reunion, a fundraiser, a webinar, or a conference session you host once and never repeat. Build it free, launch it live for the event, and each launch still lets you replay the same quiz up to 10 times if you run it again.
