In their own words
Qzzr
Qzzr is a web-based quiz maker for interactive content and lead generation. It supports quizzes, polls, surveys, personality quizzes, forms, leaderboards, predictors, and minigames. Projects can start from a template, blank project, or AI, then be customized with branding, images, lead forms, and logic jumps. Content can be published through website or CMS HTML embeds, hosted landing pages, LMS, blogs, email, and social posts. Native integrations include Google Sheets, Mailchimp, AWeber, ActiveCampaign, and Brevo; webhooks can send lead data as JSON to an HTTP endpoint, with HMAC-SHA256 validation described in its help guide. Qzzr says it is GDPR-compliant, stores lead data on GDPR-compliant servers, and is mobile-ready and fully accessible. The free plan costs nothing, never expires, and includes 300 completions. Pro costs $9 a month for 1,000 monthly completions.
