What free means for a classroom quiz tool

Many teachers ask whether a quiz tool is free for teachers before they build a routine around it. The honest answer depends on how often you need quizzes and whether you need to export them. DeckOwl's free plan gives you 3 generations a month and lets you study in the browser, which is enough to test the workflow with one unit.

Start without a credit card and test one unit before you pay.
Free plan: 3 generations a month, browser study, no exports.
Plus: $99.90 a year or $9.99 a month, unlimited generations, PDF, DOCX and Anki export.
Pro: $14.99 a month, stronger AI model, bulk upload, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.

Example teacher quiz questions on writing good assessments

What is the main purpose of a formative quiz?To check understanding during learning so you can adjust teaching, not to assign a final grade. Its feedback is meant to guide the next lesson.

Why should a multiple-choice wrong answer reflect a common student mistake?A plausible distractor shows which misconception a student holds, which makes the quiz diagnostic instead of only scoring.

What is a weakness of true/false questions with no explanation?Students have a 50% chance of guessing correctly, so the score can overstate what they know. Asking for a short reason reduces guessing.

Why avoid the answer choice 'all of the above'?Students can often spot two correct options and pick it without knowing the third, so the question measures test-taking more than knowledge.

What should each quiz question test?One idea at a time, so a wrong answer points to one specific gap. Combined ideas make the results harder to interpret.

Generate the full set

Quizzes from your own files

Upload PDFs, slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of pages and get multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with an explanation, so students learn why an option is right or wrong, not just whether they scored.

Export when you need it

The free plan keeps studying in the browser. Paid plans export to PDF and DOCX, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for your LMS.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a lesson slide deck, a handout or your notes. Text is read directly, and photos are read with text recognition.

Choose question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate a set you can review before using it in class.

Review, then share or export

Edit questions, check the explanations, and use the quiz in the browser on the free plan or export it on a paid plan.

If you plan to make quizzes every week, the Plus plan is $99.90 a year or $9.99 a month and removes the generation limit. It also adds PDF, DOCX and Anki export. Pro, at $14.99 a month, adds a stronger AI model, bulk upload, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for schools that run their courses in an LMS.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a teacher write per quiz topic?

Most short classroom checks work well with 5 to 10 questions on one idea each. Longer quizzes are better split into several short ones so you can see where students struggle.

What makes a good wrong answer in a multiple-choice quiz?

A strong distractor matches a mistake students commonly make, so a wrong choice reveals a misconception. Avoid options that are obviously false, because they only test guessing.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations a month and lets you study in the browser, but it does not include exports.

Can I export quizzes to Moodle?

Moodle XML export is part of the Pro plan at $14.99 a month, which also includes QTI 2.1 export. Plus includes PDF, DOCX and Anki export.
