Votense vs Wayground

Wayground — the platform formerly called Quizizz — is a full classroom platform with a huge library of teacher-made quizzes, AI tools and accessibility accommodations, free for every teacher. Votense is narrower: live quiz games and timed, graded tests from one editor, with polls and surveys in the same account. Pick Wayground for the library and classroom features; pick Votense when you write your own questions and want exam-style controls and surveys in one place.

Pricing: Votense vs Wayground

Wayground pricing below was read from their own pricing page on 2026-10-03. Prices change without notice, so treat this as a snapshot and check their page before deciding.

Votense

Plan	Price	Limits
Free	Free	10 surveys, 100 responses per survey
Basic	$20/month	100 surveys, 2000 responses per survey
Advanced	$40/month	200 surveys, 5000 responses per survey, 3 seats

Response limits are per survey for the life of the survey, not per month. Every survey question type, live results, voting limits, scheduling, webhooks, Telegram delivery, embedding, CSV export and bot protection are on the free plan — every public survey is checked for automated submissions the same way, free or paid; file uploads, password protection, email notifications, your own logo, connected apps (Slack, Discord, Teams, Google Chat, Airtable, Notion), and keeping a submission that fails the bot check for review instead of refusing it are on the paid plans.

Wayground pricing page

One price for the whole team: Basic is $20 a month flat, not per person.

Billed annually it is $200 a year — $16.67 a month, 17% less than paying monthly. Advanced is $40 a month, or $33.33 a month billed annually.

Basic covers 3 organizations of 2 seats each — 6 seats, which is up to 4 people once you count that you hold a seat in each organization you own. Advanced raises that to 15 seats across 5 organizations, up to 11 people.

Adding someone does not change the bill: the price is the plan, not the head count. Whether that beats a given rival depends on how they charge for seats — check their pricing page, which every comparison here links to, rather than a claim on this one.

When Wayground is the better choice

Every comparison should have this section. If it does not, you are reading an advert.

You want ready-made quizzes

Wayground’s library of teacher-made quizzes covers most subjects and grades. Votense has a handful of templates; you mostly write your own.

Accommodations and AI

Read aloud and other accommodations, plus AI tools that build quizzes, are Wayground strengths Votense does not have.

Images, media and richer question types

If questions need pictures, video or interactive formats, Wayground supports far more than Votense’s text questions.

When Votense is the better choice

Exam controls in a few clicks

A server-enforced timer that submits for the student, shuffled papers, a random draw from a pool, one attempt per student, essays you mark with comments, pass marks, grades and results you release when ready.

Quizzes, polls and surveys together

Run the unit test, the class poll and the end-of-term feedback survey from one account, each with its own results page.

A gradebook export

One CSV row per student with score, percentage, grade, pass, late and points for every question.

Moving from Wayground

Rebuild your own quizzes

There is no importer. Multiple choice, checkbox, fill-in-the-blank (typed answer) and open-ended (essay) questions have direct equivalents.

Questions people ask

Is Quizizz the same as Wayground?

Yes — Quizizz renamed itself Wayground. Its plans page is at wayground.com and says the teacher plan is free.

Why use Votense if Wayground is free?

For exam-style controls on tests you write yourself — a server-kept timer, shuffling, random draws, essays with comments, grades and held results — and for polls and surveys in the same account. If you want a ready-made library, AI and accommodations, Wayground is the better choice.

Do students need accounts?

Not on Votense: they join a live game with a PIN and nickname, or open a test link and type their name.

Checked against the shipped product on 2026-10-03. The Votense limits above come from the same plan table the product enforces, not marketing rounding. What this page says about Wayground is limited to what they publish; their prices are a snapshot from their own pricing page on 2026-10-03, and where we were not sure of a feature we say to check their documentation rather than guess.
