# VidQuiz > VidQuiz is an AI quiz generator built for video. You paste a YouTube link and VidQuiz reads the video itself, with no transcript, captions or download needed, and writes a multiple choice quiz from it: a question, four answer options, the correct answer marked, a short explanation, and a timestamp back to the moment in the video the question came from. Every question is editable before you share it. Quizzes export to PDF, CSV, a Google Forms ready CSV, a QTI 1.2 content package (.zip) for Canvas, Brightspace and Sakai, a tab delimited .txt for Blackboard, and a Moodle GIFT file (.txt) for Moodle and Adobe Captivate Classic. Who it is for: teachers and instructors who test on recorded lectures, corporate training and L&D teams who need to verify that a compliance or onboarding video was understood, and online course creators who want an end of module check. What it does not do: it does not write questions from a blank page or a topic prompt. The source is always a video you provide. Generated questions are a first draft that a human reviews, not a validated assessment instrument. Input rule: a YouTube link is read unaided. Every other source (Vimeo, MP4, Panopto, Kaltura, Camtasia, TikTok, a screen recording, an upload) needs a transcript pasted alongside it, because VidQuiz has no speech-to-text of its own. Pricing: there is a free plan for every new account, 3 quizzes a month, videos up to 30 minutes, no credit card and no expiry. Paid plans are Starter $19/month (20 videos, 30 minutes), Creator $39/month (100 videos, 2 hours), Team $99/month (400 videos, 2 hours) and Enterprise on request; annual billing saves about 20%. There is NO free trial and there never was one: the free plan is the way in. Learners who take a quiz are never metered, never charged and never need an account. See https://vidquiz.com/pricing ## Product and how it works - [VidQuiz home, AI quiz generator](https://vidquiz.com/): paste a video link, get a multiple choice quiz in seconds. - [How it works](https://vidquiz.com/how-it-works): the four steps from link to shared quiz. - [Pricing](https://vidquiz.com/pricing): plans and what each includes. - [FAQ](https://vidquiz.com/faq): accuracy, editing, exports, privacy. ## Main use cases - [Multiple choice quiz maker and MCQ test generator](https://vidquiz.com/lp/multiple-choice-question-generator): what a generated MCQ contains, what makes a good multiple choice question, how many questions a quiz should have. - [Google Forms quiz maker](https://vidquiz.com/lp/google-forms-quiz-maker): generate the questions, export a Google Forms ready CSV, import it into a Form. Google Forms has no native CSV question import, so the import step uses a Forms add-on or Apps Script. - [AI test maker](https://vidquiz.com/lp/ai-test-maker): generate a test or exam with a complete answer key from a lecture or training video, export to PDF or QTI. - [YouTube video to quiz](https://vidquiz.com/lp/youtube-video-to-quiz): paste a public YouTube link, get a quiz. - [Training video to quiz](https://vidquiz.com/lp/training-video-to-quiz): verify that employees understood a training or compliance module. - [Course video to quiz](https://vidquiz.com/lp/course-video-to-quiz): end of module checks for an online course. - [Webinar to quiz](https://vidquiz.com/lp/webinar-to-quiz): turn a recorded webinar into a comprehension check. - [Quiz generator for teachers](https://vidquiz.com/lp/quiz-generator-for-teachers): classroom use, lecture capture, homework checks. - [All use cases](https://vidquiz.com/lp): the full directory of landing pages. ## Getting questions into an LMS or authoring tool Which format each system actually reads, verified first-party rather than assumed: - [Quiz converter](https://vidquiz.com/lp/quiz-converter): the full matrix of which file each platform imports. QTI 1.2 .zip for Canvas, Brightspace/D2L and Sakai; a tab delimited .txt upload for Blackboard; Moodle GIFT .txt for Moodle and Captivate Classic; Forms ready CSV for Google Forms; PDF for Microsoft Forms Quick Import and for print. Note: VidQuiz reads video and audio, not documents, so it generates the questions and exports them. It does not transcode an existing CSV or Word question file. - [QTI vs GIFT vs CSV](https://vidquiz.com/blog/qti-vs-gift-vs-csv-quiz-file-formats): how to choose a quiz file format from the destination. GIFT control characters requiring a backslash escape are ~ = # { } : and the backslash itself. Moodle GIFT supports multiple choice, missing word, true/false, short answer, numerical, matching, essay and description (verified against the Moodle 4.5 source). - [QTI file generator](https://vidquiz.com/lp/qti-file-generator): QTI 1.2 covers Canvas, Brightspace and Sakai. It has to be a packaged .zip with an imsmanifest.xml, not a loose .xml. It does NOT cover Blackboard: Anthology documents Blackboard's QTI importer as QTI 2.1 and as Original Course View only. - [Import questions into Blackboard](https://vidquiz.com/lp/import-questions-into-blackboard): every route into a Blackboard test and what each accepts. The tab delimited .txt upload (Upload Questions) is the ONLY import route supported in BOTH the Original and Ultra course views. QTI import is Original only and wants QTI 2.1, so a QTI 1.2 package generated for Canvas is the wrong file for Blackboard. File spec: one question per row, TAB separated, no header row, no blank lines, under 250 records; type codes MC, MA, TF, ESS, FIB, FIB_PLUS, MAT, NUM; each option followed by the literal word correct or incorrect. The format has NO feedback column, so explanations do not survive the upload. Of those eight codes VidQuiz writes exactly three: MC for a choice question, TF for true or false, and ESS where a question has no options to choose between. It does not emit MA, FIB, FIB_PLUS, MAT or NUM, because a generated video quiz has one correct answer per item. The 250 record figure is Anthology's own batch recommendation to avoid browser timeouts, not a VidQuiz export limit. Blackboard has no native CSV importer and no native Word question importer. - [Tutor LMS quiz import](https://vidquiz.com/lp/tutor-lms-quiz-import): Tutor LMS ships ONE built in quiz import, the Quiz Export/Import addon, and it is a Tutor LMS Pro feature rather than part of the free core. It reads CSV and the format IS documented: Themeum publishes a downloadable sample CSV plus a full property reference (documentation last updated 19 May 2026). The file is ROW KEYED, each line carrying a Row Type of question or answer beneath a quiz settings row. Exactly EIGHT question type codes are documented: true_false, single_choice, fill_in_the_blank, matching, short_answer, image_answering, open_ended, ordering. There is NO code for a multiple correct answer question even though the Quiz Builder has a Multiple Correct Answer toggle, and none of the five interactive types the pricing page sells (Draw Image, Pin Image, Graph, Puzzle, Scale) has any import path. Answer Explanation is a documented question row column, so per question explanations DO survive this import. Fill in the blank marks its answer with curly braces inline (WordPress is a {open} source platform); a matching pair goes in the sixth column of the answer row; image answering needs answer type text_image plus a real WordPress media library attachment ID. The documentation also notes the feature only works for platforms built with Tutor LMS. For XLS, XLSX, JSON, DOCX or scheduled Google Sheets sync you need a separate third party plugin (WooNinjas TutorLMS Quiz Import Export, $99/$129/$199 a year for 1/3/unlimited sites or $229/$299/$449 lifetime, 14 day refund policy, v1.4.1 as of 24 Aug 2026, requires WordPress 6.8+, Tutor LMS 3.4.0+ and PHP 7.4+). - [LifterLMS quiz import export](https://vidquiz.com/lp/lifterlms-quiz-import): read first-party from LifterLMS, WooNinjas, WPinnovators and WP Plugins For You documentation and pricing pages on 5 September 2026. THE HEADLINE FACT: no route into LifterLMS accepts a CSV file, at any price. The importer in the FREE core plugin (LifterLMS > Import) does create courses, lessons, quizzes and questions, but it reads only files produced by the LifterLMS exporter and the published sample is JSON, so it is a site-to-site migration path rather than an authoring one. Every paid spreadsheet importer wants XLS or XLSX. THREE competing third-party plugins sell the same job at very different prices: WooNinjas LifterLMS Quiz Import/Export at $99/$129/$199 a year for 1/3/unlimited sites or $229/$299/$449 lifetime (reads .xls, .xlsx, .json, .docx, plus a scheduled Google Sheets sync on WP cron); WPinnovators Quiz Import Export for LifterLMS at $49/$69/$139 a year or $129/$219/$399 lifetime (.xls and .xlsx only); and WP Plugins For You Import Quiz from Excel to LifterLMS at $75 as a ONE TIME single-domain purchase. QUESTION TYPES ARE A SECOND BILL: the free core has exactly FOUR automatically graded types (multiple choice single correct answer, multiple choice multiple correct answers, picture multiple choice, true/false). The other EIGHT (fill in the blank, reorder items, reorder pictures, short answer, long answer, upload, code, scale) require the LifterLMS Advanced Quizzes add-on at $299 a year. Note the unexplained discrepancy: 4 core plus 8 add-on is 12, while the Advanced Quizzes product page markets 11 question types, and no LifterLMS page reconciles the two lists. The WooNinjas template must not have columns added, deleted, renamed or reordered; documented fields include Lesson ID, Quiz Title, Quiz Description, Question Title, Question Type, Multiple Choices yes/no, Description, Clarifications, Image, Video, Points, Formula Data, Swipe Data, List Data, Correct Answers and the answer option columns. Google Sheets and Google Docs imports require public sharing with viewer permission. - [Blackboard question pools vs question banks](https://vidquiz.com/blog/blackboard-question-pools-vs-question-banks): the Original Course View calls the reusable container a question pool; the Ultra Course View calls it a question bank. Ultra then reuses the word "pool" for a randomized draw inside a test, which Original called a random block or question set. Original pools become Ultra question banks on conversion, with unsupported question types removed. - [Moodle quiz maker](https://vidquiz.com/lp/moodle-quiz-generator): Moodle core imports no QTI and has no CSV importer. The question/format directory on the Moodle 4.5 and 5.0 stable branches holds exactly seven plugins: aiken, blackboard_six, gift, missingword, multianswer (Embedded answers), xhtml and xml. Six import; xhtml is export only. Examview and WebCT importers that older guides list were dropped from core. GIFT is the only plain text one that carries per answer feedback, so explanations survive. - [Adobe Captivate quiz generator](https://vidquiz.com/lp/adobe-captivate-quiz-generator): Captivate Classic (2019, 11.x) imports GIFT .txt and CSV via Quiz, Import GIFT Format File. The rewritten Captivate dropped GIFT and imports CSV only, from File, Import, Import CSV, and only from version 12.3 onward, which includes the current Captivate 13 line. Builds 12.0 to 12.2 have no question import at all. CSV import accepts exactly five question types: True/False, Multiple choice, Matching, Sequence, Short answer. Adobe ships SampleQuestions.csv in Gallery/Quiz inside the install folder. Re-verified against Adobe documentation 5 September 2026. - [Canvas quiz generator](https://vidquiz.com/lp/canvas-quiz-generator): Settings, Import Course Content, content type QTI .zip file. - [Import questions into Canvas](https://vidquiz.com/lp/import-questions-into-canvas): every route Canvas offers and what each accepts. Classic Quizzes via Settings, Import Course Content, content type QTI .zip file, into a question bank you pick or create. New Quizzes via Options, Import Content on the assessment, or into a new or empty item bank. Canvas has NO native CSV, Excel or Word question importer, so a QTI 1.2 zip with imsmanifest.xml at the root is the only external question format it reads. - [Import questions into Google Forms](https://vidquiz.com/lp/import-questions-into-google-forms): Google Forms has an Import questions button, but it imports from another Google Form only. There is NO native CSV, Excel, Word or PDF question importer. The bulk routes are a Workspace Marketplace add-on reading a Google Sheet, or an Apps Script using FormApp (addMultipleChoiceItem, setChoices, setPoints, setFeedbackForIncorrect). Importing from another Google Form carries the answer key and points; add-on routes often do not. Limits: 300 pieces of content and 75 sections per form; answer keys only on short answer, multiple choice, checkboxes, dropdown, multiple choice grid and checkbox grid. VidQuiz exports a Google Forms ready CSV with columns Question, an Option column per answer choice, Correct Answer, Points, Feedback. Four option columns is a FLOOR, not a fixed set: the header widens to the widest question in the quiz, up to Option 10. - [Google Forms vs Microsoft Forms for quizzes](https://vidquiz.com/blog/google-forms-vs-microsoft-forms-for-quizzes): Microsoft Forms has Quick Import (Word or PDF, 10MB, multiple choice and open text only; matching and multi-blank questions become open text; correct answers and points must be added AFTER import) and a native quiz timer that auto submits and cannot be paused. Google Forms has neither, but imports from another form with the key intact, publishes to respondents outside your organization, and is not capped at 200 questions. Microsoft Forms caps: 200 questions per form, 50,000 responses on work or school accounts, 200 responses on personal accounts. Neither product supports a randomized draw from a question bank. - [Canvas question banks vs item banks](https://vidquiz.com/blog/canvas-question-banks-vs-item-banks): question banks belong to Classic Quizzes, item banks to New Quizzes, and they do not share questions. Canvas ships no one click bank migration; the documented workaround is to build a Classic quiz with a question group linked to the bank, migrate that quiz to New Quizzes, then reorganize the single flat item bank produced. - [Respondus 4 alternative](https://vidquiz.com/alternatives/respondus-alternative): Respondus 4 is a Windows-only desktop exam authoring tool that publishes directly into Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace and Moodle. Read first-party on 2026-08-30: its published system requirements are Windows 11 or 10 ONLY, with no Mac build and no browser version (32 MB RAM, 10 MB disk, 1024x768 minimum, roughly a 10 MB download). Its published compatibility list is Blackboard Learn 9.x, Brightspace 10.x, Instructure Canvas, Moodle 3 to 4 and IMS QTI 1.x, and it ships a separate IMS QTI user guide alongside the four LMS guides. It IMPORTS questions from Microsoft Word with images intact, rich text, QTI, and tab or comma delimited files, and supports 15 question types including calculated and algorithmic formats, with the Respondus Equation Editor and MathType. It can batch publish one assessment to several courses in a single step, print exams, or save back out to Word or rich text. It does NOT read video or audio, so a recorded lecture has to be turned into questions before Respondus 4 has anything to import. Respondus 4 is a different product from Respondus LockDown Browser (student-side exam lockdown) and Respondus Monitor (webcam proctoring), which is the most common confusion in this category. - [Brightspace quiz converter](https://vidquiz.com/lp/brightspace-quiz-converter): read first-party from D2L documentation and a D2L staff answer in the Brightspace Community on 2026-08-31. D2L Brightspace has TWO QTI import paths with DIFFERENT version support, which is the single most misreported fact about it. The QTI importer inside Quizzes and the Question Library supports only up to QTI version 1.2. The separate Course Import tool (Course Admin, Import or Export or Copy Components) also accepts QTI 2.x and 3.x packages, but D2L states only a subset of features in those standards is supported. D2L's own course conversion support table maps every listed source system, from Blackboard 6 through Common Cartridge 1.3, to QTI 1.2.1. The Question Library also imports a CSV, but D2L's CSV is ROW KEYED rather than one row per question: column A carries a keyword (NewQuestion, QuestionText, Option, Answer, Choice, Match, Item, TRUE, FALSE) and column B carries the value, so one question is a block of rows. Seven question types can be imported by CSV, with these codes in column B: WR written response, SA short answer, M matching, MC multiple choice, TF true or false, MS multiselect, O ordering. Four documented types CANNOT be imported by CSV at all: Fill in the Blanks, Arithmetic, Significant Figures and Multiple Short Answer. Critical scoring inconsistency in D2L's own spec: a correct multiple choice option is marked 100 in column B, but a correct multiselect option is marked 1, not 100, and using 100 on a multiselect produces a wrong answer key with no error. Column placement varies by type: short answer text, matching choice text and multiple choice option text go in column C, but ordering item text goes in column B. A template CSV is downloadable from Question Library, Import, Upload a File, Download template CSV. Other import routes are Browse Existing Questions (an existing collection) and Import from Learning Object Repository. Questions imported into surveys or self assessments lose their answers, point value and difficulty, and Likert questions cannot be imported into quizzes or self assessments. VidQuiz exports QTI 1.2 as a zip with imsmanifest.xml at the root, which is the version the Question Library importer reads. - [Best quiz converter for Brightspace](https://vidquiz.com/blog/best-quiz-converter-for-brightspace): honest comparison of the options for getting questions into D2L, by input format and price. Respondus 4 imports Word, rich text, QTI and delimited files and publishes into Brightspace 10.x, but is Windows 11 or 10 only and is sold as a campus license of $1,695 to $2,945 a year by student FTE with no published single-user price. D2L's own CSV template is free and native but covers seven question types only. text2qti is free and open source and writes QTI 1.2 from plain text. GETMARKED Digitaliser converts DOCX and PDF from $29 a year for 50 page credits. Some universities run in-house converters that output the Question Library CSV for their own faculty. The distinguishing point: every one of those reformats questions that already exist, whereas VidQuiz drafts the questions from a recording first and then exports QTI 1.2. - [Rise 360 quiz generator](https://vidquiz.com/lp/rise-360-quiz-generator): read first-party from Articulate support documentation and an Articulate staff answer in the E-Learning Heroes community on 2026-09-01. Articulate 360 bundles three authoring tools on one seat and they do NOT agree about question import. Storyline 360 and Quizmaker 360 both bulk import questions from XLS and XLSX spreadsheets and from text files. Rise 360 imports NOTHING: no CSV, no Excel, no text file, no QTI. Articulate staff stated directly that the bulk import option is available only with Storyline and Quizmaker. The only bulk routes in Rise are AI Assistant (Generate quiz from the AI Assistant menu on the course overview page, or upload an existing question set for AI Assistant to convert into knowledge check blocks while preserving the original wording, which is the marked solution on the long running Rise import request) and Question Banks. Rise 360 supports exactly FOUR question types in both quiz lessons and knowledge check blocks: Multiple Choice, Multiple Response, Fill in the Blank and Matching. There is no numeric, sequence, Likert or essay question in Rise. Limits: Multiple Choice and Multiple Response require at least two choices with no upper bound; Fill in the Blank accepts up to 10 acceptable answers and is case insensitive unless Case sensitive is ticked; Matching accepts up to 10 text pairs and always shuffles the draggable left column while never shuffling the right column. Feedback modes are Any Response, Correct/Incorrect, and By Choice which is Multiple Choice only. Quiz lessons are SCORED and report a score to the LMS; knowledge check blocks are UNGRADED and do not capture learner answers at all. Quiz lessons exist in courses only: Microlearning does not support quizzes. Quiz settings defaults: unlimited retries, passing score 80 percent, timer off with a 10 minute default duration for the whole quiz, unanswered questions marked incorrect at time-out, the timer resets on each attempt and learners can hide it. Require Passing Score to Continue combined with a retry limit permanently blocks a learner who fails every attempt from advancing or completing the course. Skip Ahead If Passed automatically enables Restrict Navigation in theme settings. Reveal Answers offers Reveal All, Hide All, or Show Incorrect Answers with Feedback. Quizmaker 360 by contrast imports 19 question type codes from a spreadsheet (TF, MC, MR, FIB, WB, MD, MDN, SD, SDN, NUM, LIK, PO, PM, WW, SA, ESS, RD, RDN, HM), takes points from -1000 to 1000, does not support points for incorrect answers via import, accepts up to 10 answer choices, marks a correct choice with a leading asterisk, separates a choice from its feedback and a matching pair with a pipe, supports only "Equal to" for numeric questions on import, treats text after two forward slashes as a comment, and reads the first worksheet only. - [LearnDash quiz import](https://vidquiz.com/lp/learndash-quiz-import): read first-party from LearnDash documentation and the Liquid Web LearnDash plan pages on 2026-09-02. LearnDash ships exactly ONE quiz import and it is XML, found under LearnDash LMS > Quizzes > Actions > Import/Export. Several quizzes can be exported together into a single .xml file. LearnDash documentation states the feature is designed specifically for importing and exporting LearnDash quizzes and directs anyone importing from ANOTHER LMS platform to the LearnDash Migration add-on instead. There is NO CSV, Excel, Word, QTI or plain text question importer in the core plugin: questions are authored one at a time under LEARNDASH LMS > QUESTIONS, which is the only core route that creates a new question. The spreadsheet route people are usually looking for is a SEPARATE third-party Quiz Import/Export add-on that reads .xls, .xlsx, .docx and .json (JSON being the smaller and faster file), ships templates for simple and complex quizzes, and covers the core question types plus the Advanced Quizzes add-on types. Two products share almost the same name, which is the commonest source of confusion here: the built-in XML feature is same-platform only by design, the paid third-party add-on is the one that reads a spreadsheet. LearnDash has exactly EIGHT core quiz question types: Single Choice (one correct answer, unlimited incorrect options), Multiple Choice (the learner must select ALL correct answers or the item scores nothing, so partial matches earn zero without the weighted grading that arrives on the Pro plan), Free Choice (typed answer, several acceptable variations allowed, capitalization ignored but spelling not), Sorting Choice (backend order is the only correct order), Matrix Sorting Choice (ONE-TO-ONE associations only, so a criterion cannot take two answers), Fill in the Blank (blanks written with curly braces, every blank must be correct if there is more than one), Assessment/Survey (Likert scale, only one answer selectable), and Essay/Open Answer (text or file upload, graded by hand). Quizzes and questions are separate WordPress post types, which is why one question can appear in several quizzes without duplication. The AI Course Outline and Quiz Builder is a Pro and Elite feature, absent from Essentials, and it generates from a topic you describe rather than from your own recorded material. - [LMS quiz generator](https://vidquiz.com/lp/lms-quiz-generator): the pillar comparison of which system takes which format. - [Importing questions into Adobe Captivate](https://vidquiz.com/blog/how-to-import-questions-into-adobe-captivate): GIFT syntax, the control character escaping rule, and the Captivate CSV column spec. - [Importing questions into Moodle](https://vidquiz.com/blog/how-to-import-questions-into-moodle): the GIFT walkthrough with worked examples. - [Import questions into Moodle](https://vidquiz.com/lp/import-questions-into-moodle): questions import through the question bank, not the quiz; in Moodle 4.5 and 5.0 the importer is the qbank_importquestions plugin. Core ships exactly seven question format plugins: aiken, blackboard_six, gift, missingword, multianswer, xhtml and xml. Six of those import; xhtml is export only. Aiken and GIFT and Moodle XML also export; Cloze, Missing word and Blackboard are import only. There is NO Excel, CSV, Word or QTI importer in core Moodle. Aiken is multiple choice only, one correct answer, no feedback and no points, requires a UTF-8 file and at least two options per question. GIFT covers eight question types and carries per question feedback after a # marker. - [Moodle import questions from Excel](https://vidquiz.com/blog/moodle-import-questions-from-excel): Moodle reads no spreadsheet. Convert to GIFT with a one line formula joining the columns, since GIFT is whitespace tolerant and a whole multiple choice question fits on one line as ::name:: stem {=right #feedback ~wrong ~wrong}. GIFT treats six characters as syntax and they must be backslash escaped: colon, hash, equals sign, opening brace, closing brace and tilde; a literal backslash is doubled. Aiken option lines must start with a capital letter then a bracket or period then a space. - [ExamView alternative](https://vidquiz.com/alternatives/examview-alternative): ExamView reached END OF LIFE on 30 June 2024. Echo360, which owns it, states it will no longer provide updates, security patches or technical support for ANY version, and directs users to EchoExam. ExamView is a 32-bit application, so it has not installed on macOS since 10.15 Catalina (2019); Goodheart-Willcox tells instructors to use PointSolutions Desktop to reach ExamView content on a Mac. Files: question banks are .BNK, tests are .TST. The version 11 File > Export menu writes: Rich Text Format, HTML, ExamView Question Bank (BNK), and ZIPs for ANGEL, Blackboard 6.0-7.0, Blackboard 7.1-9.0, Blackboard Learn 9.1, Brightspace by D2L, Canvas, Moodle 3.1.2, Sakai, Schoology and WebCT CE 6/Vista 4. Blackboard targets OTHER than Learn 9.1 are capped at 20 matching questions per test. ExamView supports 14 question types: True/False, Modified True/False, Multiple Choice, Multiple Response, Bimodal, Yes/No, Numeric Response, Matching, Completion, Short Answer, Problem, Essay, Case, Other. VidQuiz does NOT open .bnk or .tst files and writes three types (multiple choice, true or false, short answer). Verified against the ExamView Test Generator User Guide v11 and Echo360 support, 6 September 2026. ## Comparisons and pricing - [GETMARKED alternative](https://vidquiz.com/alternatives/getmarked-alternative): GETMARKED Digitaliser is a question format CONVERTER, not a generator. It moves questions that already exist between DOCX, PDF, Google Forms, Microsoft Forms, LMS question bank exports (Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, Moodle, Schoology, itslearning, Neo LMS, CYPHER LMS), quiz platforms (Kahoot, Quizizz, Quizlet, Blooket, Gimkit, Socrative, Formative, Wordwall), Edpuzzle, and the formats QTI 1.2, QTI 2.1, QTI 2.2, GIFT, WebCT and Examview exported Blackboard pools. It does NOT accept video or audio input and it does not write new questions. Pricing read first-party on 2026-08-21: Basic $29/yr (50 page credits, single teacher, no sharing, commercial use allowed); Personal $40/yr plus a $50 one-time license fee (unlimited personal use, commercial use NOT allowed); Commercial/Institutional custom quote. One page credit converts one page of DOCX or PDF; imports from other sources spend one credit per four questions; exporting spends no credits. Free entry is two imports on signup plus a free Text to Quiz Converter limited to Google Forms, Kahoot, Quizizz and Gimkit. VidQuiz is the complement, not the same tool: it generates questions from a recording and exports them to those same platforms. - [Respondus 4 pricing](https://vidquiz.com/blog/respondus-4-pricing-campus-license-cost): read first-party on 2026-08-30. Respondus 4 sells two ways. A single-user license is purchasable online by individual instructors and Respondus publishes NO price for it anywhere on its site, so no single-user figure is stated here. The campus-wide license grants unlimited use by all faculty at the institution and is priced on total Student FTE as reported by IPEDS, in US dollars for North America: under 2,500 students $1,695 a year; 2,501 to 10,000 $2,095; 10,001 to 20,000 $2,545; 20,001 to 30,000 $2,745; 30,001 to 40,000 $2,945; over 40,000 by quote. Licenses renew annually on August 1, and institutions outside North America are permitted a January 1 renewal instead. Annual fees are pro-rated on the academic year, rates may vary outside North America or through resellers, and a campus-wide license requires a signed license agreement returned with a purchase order number or payment. Respondus offers a free 30-day pilot of the SINGLE-USER version only; there is no equivalent evaluation of the campus-wide license. A campus license also opens the Test Bank Network, where publisher test banks are free to instructors who adopt a participating textbook. Worked economics (our arithmetic, not a Respondus figure): the fee barely moves while enrollment multiplies, so cost per student runs about $0.68 a year at 2,500 FTE and about $0.07 at 40,000 FTE, and against a $19-per-month per-author tool the campus license breaks even at roughly eight active authors on the smallest tier. - [Articulate 360 pricing](https://vidquiz.com/blog/articulate-360-pricing-rise-storyline-cost): read first-party from articulate.com on 2026-09-01, in US dollars. Articulate 360 AI Teams is $1,749 per user per year and Articulate 360 AI Personal is $1,449 per user per year, both billed annually with no monthly option published. Rise 360, Storyline 360, Quizmaker 360, Review 360 and Content Library 360 are NOT sold separately and have no individual prices; they come together on one seat. The Teams plan additionally includes a built-in LMS covering up to 300 active learners at no extra cost. Two things are quoted separately: Articulate Localization starts at $5,000 per year priced on annual published translation volume, and Reach Pro starts at $3,600 for 1,200 active learners per year through sales. Articulate lists SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001 and FedRAMP against both plans. A 30 day evaluation is offered without entering a credit card. No academic pricing tier is presented on the current pricing page. - [Tutor LMS pricing](https://vidquiz.com/blog/tutor-lms-pro-pricing-quiz-license-cost): verified first-party on tutorlms.com on 4 September 2026, USD excluding VAT. Tutor LMS core is FREE FOREVER with unlimited courses, learners and instructors, but only the basic quiz builder. Tutor LMS Pro annual: Individual $199/yr (1 site), Business $399/yr (up to 10 sites), Agency $799/yr (UNLIMITED sites). Lifetime one-time: Individual $499, Business $999, Agency $1,999 (the Agency LIFETIME license covers UP TO 50 SITES, not unlimited, which is the one place the annual and lifetime ladders differ). Every paid tier carries an identical feature set, so the price buys site count rather than capability. 30 day money back guarantee. Quiz export/import, the advanced quiz builder, the five interactive quiz types, question preview and detailed quiz reports are all paid-tier only. AI Studio is listed on every paid tier with the note that an OpenAI API key is REQUIRED, so AI question generation is billed separately by OpenAI and token use rises with question count, question types and topic complexity. AI Studio also writes only from course content already published inside Tutor, so a recorded lecture gives it nothing to read. A quiz ready single site setup is therefore roughly $298 in year one ($199 Tutor LMS Pro plus $99 for a third party spreadsheet importer), before hosting. - [LearnDash pricing](https://vidquiz.com/blog/learndash-pricing-essentials-pro-elite): read first-party on 2026-09-02, in US dollars. learndash.com/pricing-and-purchase/ now 301-redirects to liquidweb.com/software/learndash/#pricing, so figures republished on comparison directories should be checked against that page. Three annual plans: Essentials $259 per year (solo instructors: course builder, quiz builder, memberships, subscriptions and bundles, Stripe and PayPal, video progression, focus mode, certificate builder, achievements, plagiarism detection), Pro $399 per year (marked most popular; adds AI Course Outline and Quiz Builder, advanced reporting and analytics, enrollment tracking, WEIGHTED GRADING, custom report cards, student notes, group leader communications), Elite $599 per year (institutions and L&D teams; adds group course management, instructor role, front-end course creation, multi-instructor management, ratings and reviews, seat selling). ONE license covers UNLIMITED courses and UNLIMITED learners on every tier: there is no per student and no per course fee at any price point, which is the main structural difference from the per seat and per participant models used by Kahoot, Wayground, Mentimeter and ClassMarker. All plans renew annually and can be cancelled. LearnDash offers 48 hours of access with no credit card required, and its cheapest ongoing option is the $259 Essentials plan. LearnDash is a self-hosted WordPress plugin rather than a hosted service, so hosting, updates, backups and uptime are the buyer's cost and are not covered by the license fee. The two $140 steps between tiers are decided in practice by weighted grading and the AI builder, both of which first appear on Pro. - [LifterLMS vs LearnDash quiz import cost](https://vidquiz.com/blog/lifterlms-vs-learndash-quiz-import-cost): verified first-party 5 September 2026, USD. LifterLMS core is FREE FOREVER with unlimited courses, memberships, students and teachers. Paid bundles are FIRST YEAR prices at half the usual rate: Earth $199 (1 active site, support for 1 user), Universe $299 (5 active sites, 2 users, adds the Sky Pilot theme plus ecommerce, email marketing, CRM and forms add-ons), Infinity $799 (UNLIMITED sites, 3 users, adds 15 advanced add-ons INCLUDING Advanced Quizzes). LifterLMS states renewals are charged at full price, which is $398, $598 and $1,598 respectively. 30 day money back guarantee. Advanced Quizzes bought standalone is $299 a year, the same price as the entire 5-site Universe Bundle. THE COMPARISON NOBODY PUBLISHES, cheapest quiz-ready SINGLE site: LifterLMS with core question types only = $49 in year one and every year after (free core plus the WPinnovators importer), or $75 once with the WP Plugins For You importer and nothing after. LifterLMS with ALL question types = $348 a year ($299 Advanced Quizzes plus $49 importer). LearnDash Essentials = $408 in year one ($259 plan plus $149 importer) with all 8 question types included in the base plan. So LifterLMS is dramatically cheaper for multiple choice and true/false work and only about $60 a year cheaper once written-answer types are needed. VENDOR PRICE ASYMMETRY: WooNinjas sells the SAME quiz importer for LearnDash at $149/$179/$299 a year and $349/$449/$749 lifetime, roughly fifty percent more than its LifterLMS edition at $99, although the LearnDash edition adds AI quiz generation from uploaded documents via ChatGPT or Gemini. Both LifterLMS and LearnDash are self-hosted WordPress plugins, so hosting, backups and updates are the buyer's cost on top of every figure above. - [ProProfs alternative](https://vidquiz.com/alternatives/proprofs-alternative): ProProfs Quiz Maker is a broad assessment suite metered by ACTIVE QUIZ TAKER, while VidQuiz meters videos converted and never charges per learner. - [ProProfs pricing](https://vidquiz.com/blog/proprofs-pricing-quiz-maker-cost): read first-party on 2026-08-21. Free plan $0.00 capped at 12 questions and 90 days of report history. Essentials $19.99 per 100 active quiz takers/month ($239.88 billed annually), max 300 takers/month. Business $39.99 per 100 ($479.88 billed annually), max 500 takers/month. Business Complete Elite $0.83 per active quiz taker/month ($9.96/yr per taker), unlimited takers, annual billing only, adds HRIS sync, SSO, API and automations. ProProfs Learning Suite starts at $499/month. Education: K-12 Teacher $4 per teacher/month ($48.00 annually, one teacher, max 150 students, eligibility proof required); School & District $0.25 per student/month ($3.00 annually, unlimited teachers). Certification exams and pre-employment screening are both $1.00 per candidate or applicant per month ($12 annually) with a 100 minimum. Add-ons for white label, e-commerce and web forms are $300/yr each. ProProfs defines an active quiz taker as a unique person (identified by email or ID) who takes a quiz in a month; one person taking five quizzes or reattempting counts once, and the count resets monthly. Own Stripe account carries no ProProfs fee; the ProProfs gateway takes 9.5%. - [iSpring QuizMaker pricing and alternative](https://vidquiz.com/alternatives/ispring-quizmaker-alternative): read first-party on 2026-08-23. iSpring QuizMaker is $470 USD per user per year, billed annually against a named user, and runs only on Windows 11 or 10 (32 and 64 bit). Directory listings still showing $370 are out of date. iSpring QuizMaker offers a 14-day full-functionality trial. iSpring Suite is licensed separately per author and iSpring renders those tiers in the currency of the country you browse from with no URL switch: from Europe they read 970 EUR (iSpring Suite), 1,290 EUR (iSpring Suite AI) and 720 EUR (iSpring Cloud AI) per author per year. Several review and directory sites republish 720, 970 and 1,290 as US DOLLARS; those are the euro figures relabeled, so no confirmed USD Suite price is published here. Educator and nonprofit licensing is quote only. iSpring Suite includes quiz authoring, is built to author inside PowerPoint, and publishes SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI and cmi5. iSpring QuizMaker has 14 question types, branching scenarios, info slides and audio questions. - [iSpring QuizMaker Excel import spec](https://vidquiz.com/blog/ispring-quizmaker-excel-template): iSpring QuizMaker imports .xls and .xlsx only (no CSV), from the FIRST worksheet, with field names in row 1, and Microsoft Excel must be installed. Columns: Question type, Question text, Image, Video, Audio, Answer 1 to Answer 10, Correct Feedback, Incorrect Feedback, Points. The correct answer is marked by a leading asterisk; Type In questions list only acceptable answers and mark none. Points accept 0.1 to 99999 with one decimal place, and an empty cell falls back to Quiz Properties. The 16 question type codes are MC, MR, TF, TI, MG, SEQ and NUMG (graded), PO, PM, YN, SA, MS, RNK, NUMS and ESS (survey) and IS (info slide). Badly formatted rows are skipped and listed with error descriptions in an Import Result window rather than failing the file. Storyline 360 by contrast takes XLS, XLSX or TXT (not CSV) with 19 type codes and pipe separated feedback; Moodle core has no spreadsheet importer at all and needs GIFT. - [Wayground (Quizizz) pricing](https://vidquiz.com/alternatives/wayground-alternative): read first-party on 2026-08-22. Wayground is the current name of Quizizz. K-12 has only two plans: Basic is free forever for every teacher with no credit card, capped at 20 saved activities, 100 students and limited question types; School and District is quote only with no public price, payable by purchase order, check, credit card or ACH, and carries ESSA Level 3 evidence. No live-session participant cap is published for K-12 any more. Re-verified 2026-08-30 from the plans compare table: Basic is limited on question types (against all 20+ on School and District), limited on Google Classroom sync with no grade passback, and excludes Canvas and Schoology LTI 1.3, Clever and ClassLink rostering, AI grading with custom and state rubrics, anti-cheating alerts and prevention, longitudinal growth graphs and the admin dashboard. THE BUYER GOTCHA: the Wayground Original Library item bank, school and district benchmark assessments, standards growth and mastery, state test and universal screener data import, and on-demand in-person professional development are listed as ADD-ONS rather than as included features of the paid tier. Wayground states it holds ESSA Level 3 (Promising Evidence) status and qualifies for ESSER, EANS and Title I federal funding. Wayground for Business is a separate product: Essential $125/month billed monthly (1 seat, 150 participants per session), Essential annual $75/month or $900/year (up to 3 seats, 150 participants), Pro $125/month billed annually or $1,500/year (minimum 5 seats, 1,000 participants). Seats are people who create and host; participants are people who join. A 14-day trial auto-activates on Wayground business signup. NOTE: aggregators including SaaSworthy, Capterra and xpay currently state Essential is $600/yr for 5 collaborators and 100 participants; that contradicts Wayground's own help center and $75 x 12 = $900 is the internally consistent figure. - [Kahoot pricing](https://vidquiz.com/blog/kahoot-pricing-plans-cost-player-limits): read first-party on 2026-08-22. kahoot.com/pricing redirects to kahoot360.com/pricing. Kahoot! 360 business plans in USD on annual billing: Pro Start $19/month or $228/year (50 participants), Pro Standard $25/month or $300/year (200), Pro Plus $49/month or $588/year (1,000), Pro Max $69/month or $828/year (2,000), Pro Ultra $79/month or $948/year (2,000, and up to 5,000 with onboarding). Prices exclude VAT. Re-verified 2026-08-30: these figures still hold, and the page now shows them as discounted against higher list prices of $29, $79 and $99 on Standard, Max and Ultra. Question types by plan are quiz with up to six answers, true/false and multi-select throughout, with puzzle, type answer (up to 20 characters), slider and pin answer gated to higher tiers. One license per presenter or host; participants joining by PIN need no license. Enterprise is quoted. The school and personal tiers (Kahoot!+ Bronze, Silver, Gold, Kahoot! One, One Ultra) render in the browsing country's currency, so no USD figure is published here. Participant ladder on the classic tiers is 40 / 50 / 100 / 200 / 800, and Kahoot states the same limits apply to live and self-paced sessions. - [ClassMarker alternative and credit model](https://vidquiz.com/alternatives/classmarker-alternative): read first-party on 2026-08-23. ClassMarker prices in credits, not seats. One credit is used each time a test or survey is TAKEN, and that single credit covers the result being saved, the result being emailed, the analytics and the learner downloading a certificate. Camera monitoring is the exception at 10 credits per attempt. Professional 1 covers up to 400 credits a month (stated as 4,800 tests graded per year); Professional 2 covers 1,000 credits a month (12,000 per year); Enterprise is quoted. Credit packs of 50, 250, 1,000, 2,500 and 5,000 expire after 12 months and any new purchase extends the expiry. Yearly billing gives two months free. ClassMarker gives a 30 day free trial on registration plus a 30 day money back guarantee, charges no sign up or cancellation fees, has no minimum contract, and includes additional administrators (Assistants) at no extra charge. If you charge people to take a test, the first 10 attempts per paying test taker use no credits. Non-profits, registered charities and non-profit academia buy from a separate price list. ClassMarker does not print a sticker price into the page; it is inserted client-side after a currency check. - [QuizRise alternative](https://vidquiz.com/alternatives/quizrise-alternative): read first-party on 2026-08-23. QuizRise publishes NO price list: there is no pricing link in its navigation and its own FAQ states that current plan details are shown inside the app during account setup and upgrade flows. QuizRise states it does not offer a free trial, but does offer a free plan of up to three quizzes a month with up to 20 questions each, with AI flashcards and summaries generated alongside every quiz. Its sources are PDF, YouTube, text, a web page, PowerPoint and Word, and QuizRise describes its YouTube tools as working from captions and public video transcripts. - [Quizgecko alternative and pricing](https://vidquiz.com/alternatives/quizgecko-alternative): read first-party on 2026-08-29. Quizgecko's pricing lives at quizgecko.com/plans; quizgecko.com/pricing does not resolve. Three plans in US dollars: Free $0 (limited course creation, created manually, 1 podcast a month, up to 10,000 tokens per course, basic AI model, 1 file per course); Plus $16 a month or $9 a month billed yearly, which Quizgecko states saves 44 percent (20 AI courses a month, 30 podcasts a month, up to 75,000 tokens per course, AI image extraction, 1 file per course); Ultra $29 a month with about 20 percent off billed yearly (unlimited AI courses, 75 podcasts a month, up to 150,000 tokens per course, best AI model, up to 5 files per course). Quizgecko meters by TOKENS PER COURSE rather than by questions or quizzes, so the limit that matters is the size of your source document. LMS export is an Ultra-only feature: on Free and Plus the quiz stays inside Quizgecko. Quizgecko runs a free trial on paid plans and states you are not charged until it ends, allows cancellation anytime with no fees or long-term commitment, keeps a separate refunds page, and can be gifted as a yearly Plus or Ultra plan. It is positioned at students (2 million-plus users, subject pages for medicine, nursing, dentistry, law and pharmacy, an NCLEX-RN question bank in beta) and sells a separate product for testing other people. - [QuizRise alternative](https://vidquiz.com/alternatives/quizrise-alternative) - [Questgen alternative](https://vidquiz.com/alternatives/questgen-alternative) - [Kahoot AI alternative](https://vidquiz.com/alternatives/kahoot-ai-alternative) - [NotebookLM quiz limits, pricing and alternative](https://vidquiz.com/alternatives/notebooklm-alternative): read first-party on 2026-08-29. NotebookLM was renamed Gemini Notebook by Google in July 2026 and is the same product, with existing notebooks still accessible; the help center moved from support.google.com/notebooklm to support.google.com/gemininotebook. Gemini Notebook generates multiple-choice quizzes and flashcards as Studio artifacts, and generating or deleting one requires edit access to the notebook. Before generating you can set difficulty to easy, medium or hard, enter a free-text prompt for outline, audience, style or focus, and choose fewer, standard or more questions; while taking a quiz there is a Hint button and an Explain button, and at the end you can review or retake. THE KEY FACT: Google's help page lists a "Download your flashcards as a CSV file" control for flashcards and NO download or export control for quizzes, so a NotebookLM quiz cannot be exported at all. Artifact download can also be blocked entirely when a notebook uses a Google Play Books ebook as a source. Gemini Notebook has no separate price; it is bundled into the Google AI plans, which Google publishes in US dollars as Free $0, Google AI Plus $4.99 a month, Google AI Pro $19.99 a month and Google AI Ultra at $99.99 a month or $199.99 a month. Sources per notebook by tier are 50 (free), 100 (Plus), 300 (Pro) and 600 (Ultra), with each source up to 500,000 words or 200MB, and 100 notebooks in total. Accepted sources include YouTube URLs of public videos, audio files, PDF, Word, PowerPoint, CSV, Google Docs, Slides and Sheets, web URLs, ePub, images and Play Books. From September 2, 2026 usage limits are compute-based, factoring in prompt complexity, models and features used and chat length; the quota refreshes every 5 hours until a weekly limit, visible under Settings then Usage, and the web app offers "Generate later" when you are out of limit. Google's help center states plan multipliers of 2x (AI Plus), 4x (AI Pro) and 5x or 20x higher than AI Pro (AI Ultra), while the Gemini Notebook plans marketing page describes generations as 2X, 5X and up to 50X standard; these measure different things. Google states there is no recovery option for deleted notebooks, and that the paid AI plans are only available in specific regions. - [NotebookLM quiz exporter](https://vidquiz.com/blog/notebooklm-quiz-exporter): there is no NotebookLM quiz exporter because Gemini Notebook has no quiz export. Documented flashcard controls include CSV download, shuffle and delete a card; documented quiz controls are full screen, hint and navigation arrows only. Google Forms cannot help either: it imports questions only from another Google Form and has no CSV, Excel, Word or PDF importer. The routes that work are retyping the quiz, asking the notebook chat to restate the quiz as plain text and pasting that into a document, or generating the quiz in a tool that writes a Google Forms ready CSV and pushing the rows in with a Sheets add-on or an Apps Script using FormApp. Browser extensions that scrape the rendered quiz exist but require permission to read the whole notebook page, break when Google changes the markup, and still leave the formatting problem unsolved. - [Quiz participant limits compared](https://vidquiz.com/lp/quiz-maker-participant-limits): every major quiz platform's cap on how many people may take a quiz, read first-party in August 2026, plus the part vendors rarely state: what each one counts. Kahoot! 360 runs 50 participants on Pro Start, 200 on Pro Standard, 1,000 on Pro Plus, 2,000 on Pro Max and 5,000 on Pro Ultra, and Kahoot applies the same limits to live and self-paced sessions. Wayground allows 100 students on the free K-12 Basic plan, 150 participants per session on Business Essential and 1,000 on Business Pro. Mentimeter allows 50 participants a month on its free plan (a monthly allowance that resets, not a per presentation cap) and removes the cap on paid plans, which are $11.99 per presenter/month for Basic and $24.99 for Pro, billed yearly, in US dollars. Slido allows 100 participants free, 200 on Engage, 1,000 on Professional, 5,000 on its published Enterprise tier and up to 20,000 per slido on the quoted large enterprise plan, with education plans starting at up to 500 students; Slido counts the overall number of joined devices across a meeting, so its cap is cumulative rather than concurrent, it states that its pricing page requires JavaScript, it does not accept monthly payment (either a one-time plan for an event of up to seven days or an annual plan), and it renders tiers in euros excluding VAT from a European connection, so no US dollar figure for Slido is published here. ProProfs counts unique active quiz takers per month and ClassMarker charges one credit per test taken. VidQuiz does not meter learners at all on any plan: takers are never counted, never charged and never need an account, because billing follows videos converted. - [Best quiz maker for large groups](https://vidquiz.com/blog/best-quiz-maker-for-large-groups): cost per learner worked out on published prices at 500, 2,000 and 5,000 people. At 500 learners, Mentimeter Basic is about $143.88 a year for one presenter (about $0.29 per learner), Kahoot! 360 Pro Plus $588 a year for one host (about $1.18), VidQuiz Team $1,188 a year (about $2.38), Wayground Business Pro $1,500 a year with a five seat minimum (about $3.00), and ProProfs Business about $2,399 a year because it bills $39.99 per block of 100 active quiz takers a month (about $4.80). At 2,000 learners ProProfs Business is capped at 500 active takers a month, so the cohort moves to Business Complete Elite at $0.83 per active quiz taker per month, roughly $19,920 a year. The general rule: per presenter and per video pricing holds flat as an audience grows, while per taker and per attempt pricing scales with it. No dollar cost per learner is given for ClassMarker or Slido, because ClassMarker inserts prices client-side after a currency check and Slido publishes in euros. - [EchoExam pricing after ExamView end of life](https://vidquiz.com/blog/echoexam-pricing-after-examview-end-of-life): Echo360 publishes NO price for EchoExam. The echo360.com EchoExam page ends in a request-information form, not a checkout, so institutions are quoted individually. Third-party directories print $99.99 but contradict each other on the unit and on whether a free version exists: Capterra lists $99.99 per user per month with no free version and no free trial, while GetApp lists $99.99 per feature and claims both a free trial and a free version. Neither attributes the figure to Echo360. Echo360 states EchoExam is browser-based with regional login pages (Americas, EMEA, Asia Pacific), carries 50 publishing partners, 12,000 titles and 15,000+ approved assessment questions, and supports 19 question types including NCLEX. ExamView itself is no longer sold.
