Chose Kahoot!
I forgot the names of the other products like Kahoot. I think that summarizes how close I am to favoring Kahoot within this category. In our field when it's webinar time we always look forward to Kahoot sessions in between or at the end of the session. It is great to have …
Chose Kahoot!
It is easy to use, more convenient and easy to understand to use. Other application needs to choose first the user photo before joining the game. Most of them has a lag or crash moment.
Chose Kahoot!
I only experience Kahoot and joinmyquizz and have an enjoyable experience. For me, Kahoot is more user-friendly compared to the other game tool. Also, it is not confusing in terms of questions and answers and you will see the rank leader right away. I think Kahoot is most …

None, I haven't used any other product aside from Kahoot.
Chose Kahoot!
I have not left a review for Quizlet on the website, but it is the closest experience I have had within a similar field group. I've never used Quizlet within a work environment, however, I like that Quizlet allows you to establish your own questions and tests and apply that to …
Chose Kahoot!
Kahoot is easier to use, we are more familiar with Kahoot and how it is played. Easy to explain to clients the mechanics of the game. Kahoot is more popular to use when it comes to online games, learning check and fun for clients.
Chose Kahoot!
Kahoot is more interactive than Quizlet and Google Classroom providing more engaging learning tools when using. I like Kahoot over Quizlet because of the choice and fun activities that students and teachers can use to check understanding and expand concepts. It gets students …
Chose Kahoot!
Most of the time, the organizers of the webinars or training I attended are using Kahoot. It's fun to use, the fun music while using it, and the cute images. It makes the event lively and exciting while playing.
Chose Kahoot!
It is a slightly different program. Kahoot allows for a game against everyone while Quizlet allows the user to play various learning games such as matching and flashcards. Quizlet Live is similar in that there is a gaming aspect but the game is different in that Kahoot everyone …
Chose Kahoot!
Kahoot is better for my competitive students, they love seeing their name constantly on the leaderboard. Kahoot has more lessons to chose from and my students simply like it more than Quizizz. Quizizz is good for more formal assessments, while Kahoot is better for more whole …
Chose Kahoot!
Poll Everywhere had some cool and handy features but didn't offer a robust amount of options for our team, offering tools for internal and external communications. Poll Everywhere also offered a wide array of integrations that were extremely useful but weren't enough to sway …
Chose Kahoot!
Kahoot is more engaging than Quizlet. Quizlet is simple and clean. Kahoot's user interface is a bit brighter and busier. Students pay more attention to Kahoot, and request to use it when reviewing information from a lesson or chapter. Kahoot can be used for multiple components …
Chose Kahoot!
We've used Qualtrics in the past to collect the information, but it really isn't designed to be used as a "quiz" feature. We have to export each student's answer individually and that's a tedious process. There's also no automatic feedback. We've also used Quizziz a few times …

Chose Kahoot!
We have also used myQuiz.org which is a totally free alternative. We use them both right now. Kahoot! has more features and looks more polished but myQuiz gets the job done if you need to quickly throw together a simple quiz competition at no charge. myQuiz isn't suited for …
Chose Kahoot!
Kahoot offers a plethora of options for creating learning activities to use in the classroom. The variety of choices that I can incorporate when making Kahoots allows me to keep my learners actively engaged. I can differentiate learning for all of my students easily using …
Chose Kahoot!
Kahoot! is very similar to programs like GimKit or Quizlet or Quizziz. I find Kahoot! to be easier to use and it has greater capacity for free storage of quizzes. I have some I've used in past years and they're still available to me. Low cost is exceptionally important to me.
Powtoon
Chose Powtoon
Powtoon is second in my animated video creation tech stack. I prefer Vyond for the speed, sophistication, and ability to add voiceover, but since I started with Powtoon I still use it to update my videos. Their licensing options are affordable. I also love their asset …
Chose Powtoon
I don't know of any other products that are available that do what Powtoon does.
Chose Powtoon
Powtoon has the advantage over traditional video editing software in terms of the library of characters and elements that can be easily dragged and dropped onto the canvas.

Powtoon is easier to use and has a more intuitive user interface than Vyond.
Chose Powtoon
In most cases, Powtoon is the superior tool for video creation and PowerPoint-importing over Captivate, Storyline and Camtasia. And it's MUCH easier to use than Vyond/GoAnimate. It's also much cheaper than these alternatives while providing better tools and a more robust …
Chose Powtoon
I find Powtoon to be more accessible and easier to learn. Also, their tech support is amazing! I have had multiple problems solved by just asking for support.
Chose Powtoon
Powtoons has more support and training than Animoto. Powtoons subscription price for educators is less expensive than a usual premium subscription. Powtoons integrates easily with many different platforms in a way Animoto does not. We can export Powtoons to Mp4s which students …
Chose Powtoon
Powtoon is pre-made with cartoons so it is much easier. I use Adobe for videos that are outside of work. To create slide shows, iMovie is best.

Kahoot is excellent for more mature students, I would say students in 3rd grade and above. It's excellent if you want to create a fun and engaging way to test or quiz students, or even just to review content information. I really appreciate that there are thousands of already made lessons, so I almost never have to make my own! I get to simply search, make sure it's appropriate for what I'm looking for, and use it (yay no prep!).

Powtoon is a very capable suite of tools that help a developer create training videos that look way better than they should. I've used it to create fun, attention-getting commercials for new topics, I've used it to enhance what would otherwise be boring step-by-step tutorials, and I've used it to create all manner of "Explainer videos" for all kinds of topics - this is where it EXCELS! In my opinion, its biggest limitations are limits on imported video (max of 90 seconds), which mean that you have to do a lot of extra work to break up and import anything of substantive length. And because it presents your personal library of imported images and audio ONLY sequentially, it's VERY LIMITED in the re-usability of those assets - it's way faster to just import a new instance of an image and audio than to try to find it in your library.

Pros
  • Useful for either, in-person or online classes: it can work from a projector or screen in in-person classes, or by sharing the screen in online classes.
  • Excellent to get an idea of the understanding or knowledge level of a group of people: depending on the intention of the game, the professor or person in charge of it can make and change the questions to address certain points.
  • Easy to use for both professors and students: Kahoot is intuitive, simple, and fun to use.
  • Interactive and engaging: Kahoot is a game designed to work as a tool for professors, which makes it perfect to use with students.

Cons
  • They can add more ways to perform quizzes.
  • The site is not very simple to find your way through. It is uploaded with so much data; therefore it would be good if they can organize it a little bit.
  • It would be good to give free templates to free users to attract them.
Read full review
  • Only one timeline to edit from which sometimes makes it difficult to select objects.
  • Animations can only be set to ½ seconds. Sometimes more precise amounts of time are needed.
  • Although there are a bunch of different actions you can place on a character, it's almost impossible to create a custom action within the program.

Usability
The site's currently layout feels busy. If you are not a seasoned Kahoot user, it is easy to be distracted and overwhelmed by the information presented. I would not recommend this site to a novice computer user. If the user is tech-savvy and willing to navigate the help topics provided by the site, lessons and games can be created more easily with time and practice.

The information that Kahoot shares on its blog and support center is updated frequently and provides many ideas for ways to use the platform. I have personally received timely support from Kahoot for any issues I have encountered. Their dedication to their users is amazing. The company is incredibly receptive to suggestions or ideas from their community.

I have never needed the support feature. As I mentioned, everything was intuitive to me however I have taught myself Adobe, Final Cut and iMovie so most of these programs became intuitive.
