Kahoot! is the live game for the classroom: a PIN, a countdown, a leaderboard. StudyPDF is what students use after the game. Upload your material once, share one link, and the class gets quizzes, flashcards, exams and a study guide built from it, free to open in any browser.
Choose StudyPDF if
You want practice material drafted from your own slides and handouts, not typed question by question
You want every student to see which concepts they are missing, not only a podium
Students should keep practicing at home, free, in any browser
You want to check and edit every question before your class sees it
What StudyPDF doesn’t do
StudyPDF has no live hosted game, no PIN, no countdown, no podium.
There is no public library of ready-made sets; every quiz comes from your own material.
No live polls, word clouds or audience-response features.
It is not built for a five-minute warm-up; it is built for the weeks of study around it.
Choose Kahoot! if
You want a five-minute live game with music and a leaderboard to wake the room up
You need a huge library of ready-made quizzes on common topics
Where Kahoot! is strong
Low friction. Students join with a PIN on any device, no account needed to play.
Beyond school. The same tool runs training sessions and events, so many teachers already know it.

Kahoot! is a game-based learning platform: teachers host live quiz games that students join with a PIN, with points, a leaderboard and music, plus a large library of ready-made kahoots and assignable self-paced challenges.
For the live game, no. Kahoot! hosts a real-time quiz with a PIN and a leaderboard, and StudyPDF does not. For everything around the game, yes: StudyPDF drafts quizzes, flashcards, exams and study guides from your own material, lets the class practice at home for free from one link, and shows each student their progress per concept. Many teachers use a live game for energy and StudyPDF for the studying.
Can students use StudyPDF without paying?
Yes. Students open your shared course by link in any browser, with nothing to buy. Those who join with a free account save their progress. Teachers use the same plans as everyone: on Free, 3 people can join a shared course, on Pro 10 per course, on Ultra 30.
What about Quizizz, Blooket and Gimkit?
They are in the same family as Kahoot!: live or self-paced quiz games built for engagement in class. StudyPDF is a different job. It builds the practice material from your files, cites the page for every question, and shows each student their progress per concept across the whole unit.
Can I turn my slides into a quiz the same day?
Yes. Upload the slides or handout, draft a quiz, edit it by hand, where every AI suggestion needs your confirmation, and share one link. Students can take it that evening in any browser.
Does StudyPDF work for university courses too?
Yes. The same flow works for a lecture course: upload the readings and slides, curate the topics, share the course with one link. See StudyPDF for professors for the higher-education version.
