What a free Gimkit alternative should actually do

Teachers and students who want a Gimkit free version mostly want the same thing: quick practice questions built from the material they already have. DeckOwl covers that by generating a custom quiz from your own pages, not from a library of ready-made sets.

  • Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions, each with an explanation
  • Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages
  • Free plan: 3 generations a month, studied in the browser
  • Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export
Example biology quiz questions on cell structure
Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?The mitochondrion. Its inner membrane holds the electron transport chain that drives most ATP synthesis.
True or false: plant cell walls are made mainly of cellulose.True. Cellulose gives plant cell walls their rigidity, and animal cells have no cell wall.
What is the main job of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?Making and folding proteins that are secreted or built into membranes. Ribosomes on its surface do the assembly.
Why do mature red blood cells lack a nucleus?They eject the nucleus to make room for hemoglobin, which increases how much oxygen they can carry.
What does the phospholipid bilayer do in a cell membrane?It forms a selectively permeable barrier, with hydrophilic heads facing water and hydrophobic tails facing inward.

Questions from your own files

Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Text in images is read with text recognition.

Explanations for every answer

Each multiple-choice, true/false and short answer question comes with an explanation, so wrong answers become lessons.

Spaced repetition on Plus

Flashcards and quiz review use spaced repetition, so material you miss comes back at the right time.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slide deck, document or set of notes for the topic you are studying.

Choose the question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the quiz.

Study and review

Work through the questions in your browser, read the explanations and retake the ones you missed.

The free plan includes 3 generations a month, and you study in the browser. Exports are a paid feature: Plus is $39/year or $7.99/month and adds unlimited generations, PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and spaced repetition. Pro is $14.99/month and adds a stronger AI model, bulk upload, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.

Students get 40% off with a school email, and you do not need a credit card to start. If you want a live classroom game, this is not that tool; it is for building study quizzes you can work through alone or share.

Frequently asked questions

How many quiz questions should I make for a biology unit on cell structure?

Aim for 15 to 25 questions per unit so you cover organelles, membranes and transport without fatigue. Mix multiple choice with a few short answer questions, since short answers force you to explain the function rather than recognize it.

What is the best way to study questions I got wrong?

Read the explanation, then try the question again after a day or two rather than right away. Spacing the retries is what makes the answer stick for exams.

Is there a free version with exports?

The free plan has 3 generations a month and lets you study in the browser, but it does not include exports. Exporting to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV requires the Plus plan, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML require Pro.

Does DeckOwl run live multiplayer games?

No. DeckOwl creates quizzes and flashcards for individual study and review, not live games with a shared leaderboard.
