Socrative vs Wayground (formerly Quizizz)

Socrative is an online assessment tool for teachers, with quizzes, quick checks, automatic grading, and reports. Teachers can view learning progress live and use real-time insights to identify gaps. Students may receive an explanation or correct response after answering. Activities include in-lesson tasks, self-paced work, homework, exit tickets, polls, and team Space Races. AI tools can generate assessments, create questions from class material, and transform existing quizzes. Students join a room with a code and do not need an account. Socrative works in modern browsers on laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and smartphones, as well as through Android and iOS apps. Free and Essentials rooms allow up to 50 students per activity; Pro allows up to 300. The free plan costs 0.00 USD. Essentials is $10.00 per month and Pro is $16.67 per month, both billed annually.
