The price in practice (1 year of use)
Kahoot's entry plan: ≈ R$ 44/month × 12 = ≈ R$ 528/year, in dollars, unlocking 50 players. Pipo Guru Essential yearly: R$ 300/year (R$ 25/month), in Brazilian reais, with 60 people per session — a bigger audience than their 50, for nearly half the price. And for a one-off event, the Event Pass costs R$ 99 once: full Pro for 7 days, no subscription.
When to choose each one
Stay on Kahoot if your use depends on the ready-made quiz library, if students study on their own through the apps between classes, or if your school already has an institutional licence.
Come to Pipo Guru if your class doesn't fit in 10 free players, if you want to pay in Brazilian reais, if you also present to adults (training, workshops, meetings) and need games that end in a decision — not just a scoreboard.
