The best pub quiz software for pubs, compared
There are some genuinely good tools for running a quiz night. They split roughly into two camps: platforms you build and run yourself, and done-for-you services that write the quiz for you. Here's an honest look at the main options for UK pubs — and where each one fits.
At a glance
| Tool | Price / model | Questions | Players | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quiztache | Flat £20 / month | Checked & fact-checked by a real person, fresh weekly — done for you | Own phones | Simple, done-for-you, one flat price |
| SpeedQuizzing | Pay per quiz (~£24 for one, cheaper in bulk) | Quiz packs included, or write your own | Own phones (host from a Mac/PC) | Lots of formats & flexibility |
| KwizzBit | £59.99–£79.99/month (+VAT); free tier & intro offer | Build your own on the platform | Own phones | Creating your own interactive quizzes |
The options in more detail
Quiztache
A flat £20 a month for a fresh quiz every week, checked and fact-checked by a real person. You run it live on your regulars' phones straight from your own — the screen tells you what to tap next, so anyone can host. No equipment, no per-quiz credits. First two weeks free.
SpeedQuizzing
A long-established, feature-rich smartphone quiz platform with lots of game formats (buzzer rounds, multiple choice and more). Players use their phones, while the host runs it from a Mac or PC. You pay per quiz via "activations" (around £24 for a single quiz, cheaper in bulk), and each comes with a quiz pack, or you can write your own. Great if you want maximum flexibility and don't mind paying as you go.
KwizzBit
A polished platform for creating and hosting your own interactive quizzes, played on phones with no apps or hardware. Paid monthly — £59.99 (Classic) or £79.99 (Pro) per month plus VAT, tiered by how many devices join, with a free tier to try it and a discounted intro offer. Best if you enjoy building your own quizzes rather than having them written for you.

I want the least hassle possible
Go for a done-for-you service where the quiz is written for you each week and hosting is dead simple — that's what Quiztache is built for. You never prep, and any member of staff can run it from a phone.
I enjoy writing my own quizzes
A build-your-own platform like KwizzBit (or SpeedQuizzing if you want more game formats) gives you the tools to create and host your own.
I want the cheapest predictable price
A flat monthly fee is the easiest to budget. Quiztache is £20 a month for a weekly quiz with no per-night credits; pay-per-quiz tools can work out cheaper or dearer depending on how often you run and whether you bulk-buy.
Do any of them need special equipment?
All of the tools here let players use their own phones, so none need player handsets or buzzers. Some run from desktop software at the venue; Quiztache runs entirely from your phone.
This is our honest opinion as one of the options listed, and naturally we think Quiztache is the simplest done-for-you pick — but we've tried to describe the others fairly so you can choose what suits you.
