Is GETMARKED legit? Our GETMARKED Digitaliser review with pricing and a video quiz alternative

How much does GETMARKED cost?

GETMARKED Digitaliser starts at $29 a year for the Basic plan, which includes 50 page credits a year for a single teacher with no sharing. Personal is $40 a year plus a one-time $50 license fee and lifts the quota to unlimited personal use. Commercial and institutional buyers are quoted individually. All plans are annual and can be cancelled.

The number that matters is the page credit, because it is not one credit per question. One credit converts one page of a DOCX or PDF. For every other source, four questions spend one credit, so 50 credits import roughly 200 questions from a Canvas, Kahoot or QTI export. Exporting never spends credits, which means moving the same question bank out to several platforms costs nothing extra once it is in.

Read the plan restrictions before you pick, because the cheaper plan carries the wider rights. GETMARKED publishes two permission rows: commercial use, and non-teaching staff use with an instructional designer given as the example. Both read Allowed on the $29 Basic plan and Not allowed on the $40 Personal plan. Paying more buys volume and takes rights away.

That makes Personal the wrong tier for anyone working on behalf of a department or a company, however well the unlimited quota fits. An instructional designer belongs on Basic and its 50 page credits, or on the custom priced Commercial and Institutional plan. Neither cheap plan permits sharing. Buying the wrong one of the two is an easy and expensive mistake.

Is GETMARKED free?

Not really, but there is a genuine free entry point. Signing up gives you two free imports, which is enough to test whether your particular Word document converts cleanly before you pay anything. There is also a separate free Text to Quiz Converter on their site that is worth knowing about.

That free converter has real limits. It only outputs to Google Forms, Kahoot, Quizizz and Gimkit, it needs your questions formatted in a strict layout, question text and each option must fit on a single line, and it handles multiple choice, multiple response and open ended questions only. Images and math formulas are not supported. For a clean, plain list of questions it does the job.

Is GETMARKED legit?

Yes. GETMARKED Digitaliser is a real commercial product from a real company, with published usage counters, documented import and export paths, a reseller program, and a private quiz export API for institutions that want to automate conversion. It is widely used in higher education, and university teaching and learning teams recommend it for exactly the job it does.

We compete with it on one narrow edge, and it would be dishonest to pretend otherwise. For converting an existing question bank between platforms, GETMARKED does more than we do and we do not try to match it.

If you went looking for a GETMARKED Digitaliser review, the directories are thin rather than negative. Capterra lists the product with zero user reviews and a starting price of $10 a year, a figure that does not match the $29 Basic plan on GETMARKED's own pricing page (both read in September 2026). Treat the vendor page as the price of record. The better review is your own: the two free imports on signup are enough to run one of your real Word or PDF question banks through and see whether it lands cleanly in your LMS before you pay.

What can GETMARKED Digitaliser import and export?

On the import side it reads DOCX and PDF, Google Forms and Microsoft Forms, question banks exported from Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, Moodle, Schoology, itslearning, Neo LMS and CYPHER LMS, and quiz platform exports from Kahoot, Quizizz, Quizlet, Blooket, Gimkit, Socrative, Formative and Wordwall. It also reads Edpuzzle, plus the file formats QTI 1.2, QTI 2.1, QTI 2.2, GIFT, WebCT and Examview exported Blackboard pools.

On the export side it writes back to Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, Brightspace, Schoology, itslearning, Neo LMS, CYPHER LMS and Sakai, out to Google Forms, Kahoot, Quizizz, Blooket, Gimkit, Socrative and Quizalize, and into files: QTI 1.2, QTI 2.1, QTI 2.2, Moodle XML, GIFT, Word and spreadsheet. It also targets LearnDash, TalentLMS, Adobe Captivate, Studymate and Zoom.

VidQuiz exports a narrower set on purpose, because it only ever needs to hand off a question set it just generated: a Google Forms ready CSV, a QTI 1.2 package as a zip with the manifest at the root, a Moodle GIFT text file, a tab delimited text file for the Blackboard Upload Questions route, a PDF with an answer key, and a generic CSV.

When is GETMARKED the right tool, and when is VidQuiz?

Pick by what you are holding right now. If you already have the questions written down anywhere, in a Word file, a PDF, an old Blackboard course or a colleague Kahoot, GETMARKED is the right tool and it will be faster and cheaper than anything we could offer you. If what you have is a recording and no questions, a converter cannot start.

The two also stack. Some teams generate a first question set from a recording in VidQuiz, export it, and then use a converter to push that same set into a second or third platform later. Nothing about the two tools conflicts.

• You have a Word or PDF question bank to move into Canvas or Moodle: use GETMARKED.
• You need questions to exist in two different LMS platforms at once: use GETMARKED.
• You have a recorded lecture, training session, webinar or podcast and no questions: use VidQuiz.
• You need every question tied to a timestamp in the recording so learners can rewatch the exact moment: use VidQuiz.
• You are quizzing hundreds of learners and do not want a per-taker charge: VidQuiz does not meter learners.
• Your source is a slide deck or a text document rather than a recording: neither of us is ideal, look at a document to quiz generator instead.

What is the best GETMARKED alternative for video?

For the specific job of turning a recording into graded questions, VidQuiz is built for it end to end. Paste a YouTube link to a course, lecture or webinar, or upload an MP4 or an audio file with its transcript, and you get multiple choice questions with the correct answer marked, a one line explanation of why it is correct, and a timestamp chip on every question.

Questions are a first draft generated from your own recording, not a guarantee. You review and edit any of them before you share, which is the step that matters when the quiz is going in front of a class or a compliance audience. Plans start at $49 a month, and there is a free demo of 3 quizzes to start on, which is a smaller allowance than the $29 a year converter gives you for a one off fee.
