Votumio as an alternative to Kahoot!
Both run a quiz on the big screen with answers from phones. Kahoot! is a game; Votumio is a plainer tool that also does polls, tests and retrospectives.
The short version
Kahoot! is built around game-style quizzes, with music, a playful look and a large library of ready-made games. Votumio has no game show around the questions: a timed question, the options, the countdown, then the leaderboard.
What a Votumio quiz has
- Two to ten options per question, one of them correct, with images if you want them.
- A countdown per question; the correct answer stays hidden while the question is open.
- Points for correct answers; with equal scores the faster player is ahead.
- A leaderboard at the end, and results as a PDF or a PowerPoint deck.
When Votumio fits better
- The audience is adults at work or at a conference, and a game-show tone would be out of place.
- You also need a graded test taken at each person’s own pace, an opinion poll or a team retrospective.
- You write your own questions and want them on screen in a few minutes.
When Kahoot! fits better
- You want the game itself — music, animations, a playful mood — to carry the lesson or the party.
- You want to pick a ready-made quiz from a library instead of writing your own.
