Kahoot is a great tool for live quizzes and trivia: questions on a screen, a host and everyone answering at once from their phones. But it needs someone running the game and a shared screen.
PrizeQR solves something else: each person scans a QR at their own pace and wins a prize instantly — no host, no mandatory screen and no need for everyone to be in sync. If your goal is to hand out prizes and capture people at a booth, bar or trade fair — not to run trivia — this comparison helps you decide.

Our verdict
If you want host-led trivia with a screen, use Kahoot. If you want people to scan a QR and win a prize instantly — at a booth, bar or trade fair — PrizeQR fits better and needs no one running the game.
