Kahoot doesn’t have a teacher discount. What it has is a free plan for individual teachers, and that’s the one most classrooms use. The paid Kahoot!+ plans are sold to teachers at their regular price, so there’s no cheaper rate waiting if you qualify.
Kahoot is the quiz game where students answer on their own devices while the questions run on your screen. The free plan gives you the essential tools, which is where most teachers start for a unit review or an exit ticket. If you want to browse other classroom tools that cost nothing, Prodigy Math is free for teachers too, and the full list is on our tech discounts for teachers page.
How To Get The Free Kahoot Teacher Plan
- Go to Kahoot’s page for teachers and choose to sign up for free.
- Create your account and pick the free plan.
- Build a kahoot or search the library, then launch it and have students join from their own devices.
Free sign-up doesn’t ask you to pick a paid plan. Upgrade later only if you run into something the free plan doesn’t cover.
What Kahoot!+ Costs
Kahoot!+ is the paid toolkit for individual teachers. It comes in several plans, and you can pay monthly or pay for a year at once, which brings the monthly cost down. The plans differ mainly in how many players can join a live game, from 50 on the first plan up to 800 on the top one, and in how much of the AI and reporting you get.
The first plan lets you create a kahoot from a topic, a web address, a Wikipedia article or a short file. That saves prep time, but it’s a convenience, so a free account is enough if you’re happy to write your own questions. Prices are on the plans page, and they’re the same list prices anyone pays, with no educator rate. Check the total at checkout before you pay.
Schools And Districts
If your whole school wants Kahoot, there’s a separate platform for schools and districts. It has no posted price. You book an intro with Kahoot, and the quote comes from that conversation, so ask your tech coordinator before anyone buys individual plans on a school card.
Cash Back On Kahoot
Kahoot isn’t listed on Fluz, Rakuten or TopCashback, so there’s no cash back to earn on a Kahoot!+ plan.
Q&A
Does Kahoot give teachers a discount?
No. Kahoot offers a free teacher plan and sells Kahoot!+ at its regular price.
Is the free plan enough for a classroom?
For quizzes and review games, the free plan is the place to start. The paid plans mostly raise the player limit and add AI creation tools and fuller reports.
How many students can join a live game?
It depends on the plan, from 50 players on the first Kahoot!+ plan to 800 on the top plan.
Can I pay monthly?
Yes. Kahoot!+ can be billed monthly or annually.
Does my school get a better price?
Schools and districts buy a separate platform through Kahoot’s sales team. There’s no public price, so you’d book an intro to get one.
