Kahoot pricing and what Kahoot costs a teacher, school or district

Short answer: Kahoot publishes four paid teacher plans and a free one. Kahoot!+ Bronze is $36 a year, Silver is $72, Gold is $120 and Kahoot! One is $228, all billed annually, with a free Kahoot! Go plan capped at 40 players. Paying month to month costs $9, $15, $26 and $35, which is about two to three times more. Schools and districts that want one contract use Kahoot! EDU, which is a quote.

That is enough to budget a single teacher. A school needs more, because the plans are per teacher and the cheap ones stop at 50 or 100 players. This article reads Kahoot's own plans page, prices a 10-teacher school and a 40-teacher school, shows what the monthly option really costs, and lists what to ask before a school-wide quote is signed. Coeducate is not affiliated with Kahoot. We sell an AI tutor that keeps a mastery record for each student, and the last section says when a quiz game is the right purchase and when it is not.

How much does Kahoot cost?

The Kahoot plans page lists these individual teacher plans in US dollars. The prices shown include VAT and, at the time we checked, carried a Black Friday discount of 30 percent that the page said ends November 27, so the annual figures below are the sale prices.

The "Kahoot! 360" plans, Pro Start at $15 a month through Pro Ultra at $79 or more, are the corporate line for trainers and event hosts. They are not the school product, so a "kahoot pro price" you find in a search result may belong to a different buyer than you. Schools and districts are pointed to Kahoot! EDU, where the page offers a sales conversation instead of a price.

What does Kahoot cost per month for a teacher?

Billed annually, the monthly equivalent is $3 for Bronze, $6 for Silver, $10 for Gold and $19 for Kahoot! One. Billed monthly it is $9, $15, $26 and $35. Over twelve months that is $108, $180, $312 and $420 against $36, $72, $120 and $228. A teacher who starts monthly in September and stays all year pays 1.8 to 3 times the annual price, so the monthly option is only worth it for a short trial. Compare that with the published price of Formative at $249 per teacher a year, which has no monthly option at all.

What does Kahoot cost for a school?

The plans are per teacher, so the school total is a headcount multiplication. These figures use the sale prices above and assume every teacher takes the same plan.

The useful finding is the 40-teacher Gold row. Forty individual Gold plans cost $4,800 a year. A school-wide EDU quote only makes sense if it comes in under that, or if it adds what individual plans cannot, which is one admin account, one data agreement and consistent rostering. If a quote lands above the 40-seat total, ask what the difference buys.

Is Kahoot free for teachers?

Yes, up to a limit. Kahoot! Go is free and caps a game at 40 players, which fits a single class but not a grade-level review, an assembly or a parent night. It keeps the classic quiz and true or false types and access to ready-made content. Everything that saves prep time or shows progress over weeks, such as AI creation from a file, drop pin, scale and the advanced reports, sits on a paid plan. Plan the free tier as a trial, not a school standard, because a deployment of mixed free and paid teachers produces mixed data that no one can compare.

What should a school ask before signing a Kahoot EDU quote?

1. What is the unit? Per teacher, per student or per site. A 40-teacher, 900-student school can differ by a factor of three between units.
2. What is the player limit? The plans above cap a game at 50 to 800 players. A cafeteria or gym review needs the higher number.
3. What is the year-two and year-three price? Get it in writing. A sale price like the Black Friday one is not a renewal price.
4. Are AI features and reports included? The cheap plans exclude the full AI toolkit and the advanced reports. Confirm which tier the quote matches.
5. Can we pay by purchase order and prorate? Annual billing means a January start should not cost a full year.
6. What is the student data agreement? Request the signed data privacy agreement for your state before rostering. The U.S. Department of Education's Student Privacy Policy Office publishes the FERPA guidance counsel will cite.

Schools that also run exam preparation for older students sometimes pair a classroom tool with a separate tutor built around doubt solving, and judge each purchase on its own budget line.

When Kahoot is the better buy, and when it is not

Kahoot is a good purchase when the goal is energy in the room: a live review before a test, a vocabulary game, a quick check at the end of a lesson. At $36 to $120 a teacher, a department can try it without a procurement cycle, and the quiz format needs no training.

It is the wrong purchase when the problem is a group of students who are behind and need practice that adapts after every answer. A game shows who got a question right in the moment. It does not keep a running record of what each student has mastered over weeks. That is the job of the AI teaching assistant and tutor we build, and our AI tutor for schools pricing is published so you can compare it with a quote line by line. The same comparison logic applies to other classroom tools, as in Wayground pricing for schools and Pear Deck pricing for schools.
