What is free, and what costs.
The quiz is free. Some extras are paid.
Playing a klapp quiz costs nothing, with no account and no card. The weekly Friday quiz is free every week, and you can try rounds of your own for free. Events are free too, once the host signs in. A ready-made quiz of 30 questions for an occasion is sold on Etsy. In Norway you can buy extra questions, the event package, Q&A and a subscription. Outside Norway, extra questions and the subscription are sold only where the pricing page lists your country. The free part has a catch, and this page is where it is written down rather than left for you to discover.

What is free
The quiz, with nothing to sign up for. You open /host, type a topic, and a set is generated and played. No account and no card are asked for. Players open /join and are in — no download, no account, no e-mail address.
Events and more sets, once you sign in. A host can sign in with Google or Microsoft. There is no password and no account database. Your sign-in lives in a cookie in your browser. Signing in gives you events — one code and one QR for a whole talk, with quizzes and polls, steered from your phone — and more generated sets per hour. Both are free. A quiz you run on its own is not saved, so a set you liked is gone when the game ends. An event is saved with the quizzes and polls in its running order. What is and is not kept is on privacy.
The price never depends on the size of the room. There is no participant limit in the code and no paid tier that raises one. What has actually been measured is 10 240 synthetic clients in a single game on 13 September 2026, with 10 240 answers registered and none lost — the load test, including what it does not show. Synthetic means scripted connections, not people: no real room of that size has played yet, so treat it as a measurement rather than a guarantee about your all-hands.
The catch
Generating a set is not free for us. Every round you make is a paid call to an outside service, and we pay for it whether the round is played or abandoned. We have measured what a set costs, but that figure is not published on any page yet, and a number that has not been published with its method behind it has no business being quoted here. When the measurement gets its own page, it will be linked from the changelog like everything else.
So there are limits, and the code enforces them rather than a policy page. Per host, in any rolling hour: up to 10 sets without signing in, up to 14 sets signed in, and either way up to 20 files and 50 MB of uploads. On top of that, the whole service has a cap on what it may spend in an hour, summed across everybody — one cap for hosts who have not signed in, and a separate one for hosts who have, so a busy hour on one side cannot use up the other. Since 11 October 2026 rounds of your own are a trial: 50 trial questions per account, once you sign in with Google or Microsoft, and they are not refilled. Without signing in there are 10 trial questions, one round, shared by everyone on the same network. A round of your own is one written from your topic, your pasted text or your lesson plan. The weekly Friday quiz and the ready-made quizzes do not count and have no limit, because they are written once and shared. All the free questions together also share a budget for each month. If it is used up, the trial stops for everyone until next month, and the Friday quiz and the ready-made quizzes stay free. Those are the limits as of 11 October 2026. If they change, the change is dated in the changelog.
What you actually meet when a limit is hit is a message saying the service has reached its limit for now and to try again later. The hourly limits are not a paywall, and there is nothing to buy your way past them. The trial limit is different, and we say so: you see how many questions you have left before you type a topic, and when they are used you can buy 100 more questions for 99 kr, or subscribe (Teacher 49 kr, Team 149 kr or Business 399 kr a month, with 120, 300 or 600 questions a month, renewed until you cancel). Or play this week’s Friday quiz for free. Pricing has the whole ladder. The uncomfortable part is that each global cap is shared: somebody else's busy hour can be the reason your set is refused, and there is no queue and no notification when it clears.
The other half of the catch is that it is early. A running game is saved and usually goes on after a restart, but the product changes week to week; the changelog is the honest record of how often.
02 / free with sign-in
Events
One code and one QR for a whole talk, with quizzes and polls in the same room, and more generated sets per hour. A poll is one question with options to tap: one choice, several, or a scale from 1 to 5. Sign in with Google or Microsoft. No card needed. An event lasts until you end it, two hours idle, or twelve hours at most.
03 / paid per session
Q&A
The audience asks during a talk, klapp drafts answers from your own material with the source, and you decide what is shown. 100 answers 119 kr · 200 answers 199 kr · 400 answers 379 kr · 100 more during the talk 99 kr. You need to sign in and add a card. Pricing.
What this page does not say
It does not say anyone in the room will pay. That one is decided as a rule rather than a plan: a player never sees a price, a card field or a sign-up, and the price is never set by how many people are in the room. Only the host pays: for Q&A, the event package, extra questions or a subscription. Q&A is paid per session, when you set it up before the talk, not when the room opens. If it never opens, the charge is refunded automatically. Payment goes through Stripe, and the seller is Cadence AS.
It does not say free forever. We want the weekly quiz and playing to stay free. That is an intention we can change, not a promise you can hold us to. Anyone who tells you their beta is free forever is describing a decision nobody has had to pay for yet.
It does not say cheaper than anyone else. Comparing prices needs the same thing priced on both sides, and the quiz has no price to compare. Any comparison goes next to the other side's published figure with a date and a link, the way every number on klapp and Kahoot compared already does.
And it does not say unlimited. There is no participant limit in the code, which is not the same sentence as a guarantee that any number works. The largest room that has been measured is the synthetic one above.
When a price changes, it changes on pricing and is dated in the changelog. Who is building this is on about.
