Diaposi vs KahootFree for the whole room.
Diaposi Session turns your PowerPoint, PDF or Word file into a live session with polls, quizzes and anonymous questions, and Diaposi can run a mock exam with your class, graded out of 20. Diaposi is free. There is no paid plan today, and participants never need an account.
The bottom line
Both tools let a room answer questions live from their phones, joining with a code and no account.
Diaposi's free account opens six kinds of polls, your own slides and a mock exam graded out of 20, for everyone in the room.
Kahoot's free plan, Kahoot! Go, hosts 10 to 40 players depending on the account and includes quiz and true or false questions only. Polls, word clouds and slide import need a paid plan.

The whole room, free
A seminar of 25, a lecture hall or a training day: everyone joins with the QR code or the six-character code, with no account and no name, and every feature of the free account works for all of them.
Kahoot! Go lets 10 players into games hosted from personal and higher-education accounts, and 40 from K-12 school accounts.
Polls and word clouds without a paid plan
Polls come in six kinds: yes or no, true or false, multiple choice, rating scale, free answer and word cloud. Add live quizzes built from your own slides, written or imported, and anonymous questions that participants upvote so you see how many are behind each one.
Kahoot! Go includes quiz and true or false questions only; polls need a paid plan, word clouds start on Silver and open-ended questions on Gold.
Your own slides, on every phone
Upload the PowerPoint, PDF or Word file you already have, up to 50 MB. Every participant follows the slide you are on, goes back to any slide already shown, takes private notes and, with a free account, keeps the session as their own learning journey.
On Kahoot, importing slides from PowerPoint, Keynote or PDF starts on Silver.
A mock exam as a real sitting
Build a mock exam from your course documents and run it with your class: one clock for the room, extra time for one participant, every paper handed in automatically at the deadline. Multiple choice and written answers are marked, grades come out of 20, and the class results open question by question on the projector.
See the mock exam sessionA quiz that shows what the room understood
Build the quiz from your own slides, chapter by chapter, or write or import it. Participants answer at their own pace, can say I don't know instead of guessing, and see the answers only at the end, each with their own score in private and where they stand in the room.
You see correct answers overall, the median, understanding by chapter and each question with the slide it came from, all saved in your session report. Kahoot! Go includes no AI creation; making questions from files starts on its paid plans.
See Diaposi SessionAfter the mock exam, they practise on their own
When participants hand in a hosted mock exam, they can go on alone: a free account turns up to 6 of their own course files into a mock exam, with the questions hidden until they press Start and a clock that keeps running if they leave.
Results come as a grade out of 20, every answer with its source in the course, and what to study next, weakest chapter first. Every attempt is kept, and the chapters they have practised show their last grade out of 20.
See the mock examEverything Diaposi does with the same deck
Diaposi Session is one part of Diaposi, the EdTech platform for interactive and measurable learning. The PowerPoint, PDF or Word file you present can also be followed by learners at their own pace, turned into a mock exam built from the same course files, and measured from one session to the next, all with one free account. Participants never need an account or an app to join.
Present your deck, live
- Your PowerPoint, PDF or Word file as it is; a Word document scrolls like a document
- Six kinds of polls, and quizzes built from your slides, written or imported
- Anonymous questions the room votes up; the one it rallies behind rises onto your screen
- Your ink, laser dot and whiteboard pages appear live on every participant's screen
- Open with the room's expectations, close by asking whether they were met
Follow at every participant's pace
- Participants follow your slide, go back to any slide shown and keep notes you never see
- With a free account: a summary, and a Learn more card on each slide you have reached
- Signed in, each participant keeps the session as their own learning journey
- Learners can also upload your deck and follow it alone, with Quiz me and chapter checks
Practise under exam conditions
- Up to 6 course files become one mock exam, with chapters found in your own documents
- Run it with your class: one clock, private extra time, every paper handed in at its deadline
- Written answers marked criterion by criterion; one that cannot be marked waits for you
- Learners practise alone too: a grade out of 20 and the pages to reread
