We use the paid version, which is super helpful for resizing flyers to use on Facebook, etc.

Free Kahoot is limited to using free "quizzes" that are already available, or creating your own limited quizzes. It is mostly fun for the caregivers, but with a paid subscription you can ask questions that have multi choice answers, such as "Which is your favorite Thanksgiving pie?" (pumpkin, mincemeat, sweet potato, pecan) or other questions that rely less on memory.
