The Anytime Trivia alternative for a trivia night, not trivia 24/7
Anytime Trivia keeps trivia running on your TVs around the clock. Quizado runs one trivia night your regulars come for, and on Pro and Business, Auto-Host runs that night by itself.
Anytime Trivia is low-cost background trivia that runs 24/7 with no staff; Quizado is a trivia night of 30 minutes to 2 hours that Auto-Host runs by itself on Pro and Business, with seven games in one app.
Quizado vs. Anytime Trivia
Why Switch from Anytime Trivia?
Trivia that is always on has no start time
A game that runs 24/7 suits guests who are already in the room. It does not give anyone a time to come in for.
Quizado runs one trivia night at the time you choose, so you can put "Trivia, Tuesday 8pm" on the board. On Pro and Business, Auto-Host runs it from the first question to the winner.
A night with nobody on the mic
With no host in the room, a quiz on the TV can feel quiet.
On the big screen, Auto-Host reads each question aloud in the MC voice, then the options of a multiple-choice question, and the same voice says many of the host lines, with captions. The questions also show on the TV and the phones.
One kind of streaming device
Anytime Trivia installs on a compatible Roku, Fire TV or Google TV device, and Fire TV Stick SELECT is not supported (their site, November 2026).
Quizado shows on any TV. Open the screen link in a browser, or use Apple TV, Chromecast or Android TV. Every screen of the venue follows the same game.
Rounds about your own town
Anytime Trivia plays the Quizrunners library, and custom content is for enterprise (their site, November 2026).
Every Quizado paid plan writes themed rounds with AI questions: your town, your beer list, the local team. You edit every question before it goes on screen.
Trivia, then more trivia
A room that plays the same format every week starts to get bored of it.
Quizado has seven games in one app. Auto-Host runs Trivia; Family Face-Off and QuizoParty need a person on the night.
What Makes Quizado Different
Built from the ground up for modern bar trivia and live events.
Auto-Host
On Pro and Business, Auto-Host runs a whole Trivia night by itself: it opens answering, runs the clock, locks, reveals, scores and moves on, through Buzzer Race and Music Bingo rounds too.
An MC voice that reads the questions
On the big screen, the MC voice reads each question aloud, then the options of a multiple-choice question, and says many of the host lines, with captions. The night has a voice with nobody on the mic.
QR join, no app
Guests scan the code on the TV and play in the phone browser, as with Anytime Trivia. Nothing to install.
Runs from the TV on Apple TV
Auto-Host runs from the TV too, on Apple TV. Chromecast and Android TV work as displays for a night run from a host device.
Every TV in the room
Copy the screen link and open it in a browser on each screen. Every screen of the venue follows the same game.
Leagues for your venue
Business runs leagues and seasons for your own venue, so regulars come back to defend a place on the table.
What Anytime Trivia costs in 2026
Anytime Trivia states "$49/mo", "First month free." and "Monthly billing, cancel anytime" (their site, November 2026). The Quizrunners content library is included, and custom content is for enterprise. Their site states no setup fee.
Our arithmetic: with the first month free, eleven months at $49 is $539 in the first year. That is a low price for trivia on the TVs all day. Quizado has a free plan, then one monthly plan; the pricing page shows the current price. You pay for a different thing: a trivia night with Auto-Host, seven games and AI questions.
Trivia 24/7, or a trivia night?
Anytime Trivia is background trivia. Their site says "NO HOST. NO EXTRA SHIFT." and promises trivia "that runs 24/7 on your TVs", with promos that rotate between game rounds (their site, November 2026). Guests play when they like, and nobody on staff runs it.
Quizado does not do that, and an all-day mode is not planned. Quizado runs a trivia night: an event of 30 minutes to 2 hours at the time you choose. On Pro and Business, Auto-Host runs it by itself, so no quiz master is needed. If you want something on the TVs around the clock, Anytime Trivia fits. If you want a night your regulars come in for, Quizado fits.
Who writes the questions
Anytime Trivia plays the Quizrunners library. Their site says "Writing trivia for real bars since 2009" and "Content refined over 15 years of live bar play" (their site, November 2026).
Quizado gives every plan free packs. Every paid plan adds AI questions that write a themed round from a topic, and on Pro you can play packs you write yourself.
Who should stay, who should switch
Stay with Anytime Trivia if...
Anytime Trivia does a different job from Quizado, and for some venues it is the right one.
- +You want trivia on the TVs from open to close
- +You want your promos to rotate between games
- +Your TVs already run on Roku, Fire TV or Google TV and you want nothing else to set up
- +You want a game on the screens without anyone starting it
Switch to Quizado if...
Quizado suits a venue that wants trivia to be an event.
- +You want a weekly trivia night your regulars plan their evening around
- +You want an MC voice that reads the questions on the big screen
- +You want themed rounds about your town or your menu
- +You want other games too, such as Family Face-Off or QuizoParty, with a person running them
How to switch in 3 steps
Run one night alongside
Create a free Quizado account and run one trivia night on a quiet evening. Anytime Trivia can keep running on the other days.
Give the night a fixed time
Pick one evening a week, put the time on the board and the QR code on the tables. On Pro and Business, switch on Auto-Host.
Decide after a few weeks
Anytime Trivia bills monthly and you can cancel anytime (their site, November 2026), so keep both while the room decides.
What Anytime Trivia does that we do not
Anytime Trivia runs trivia 24/7 with no event and no staff, rotates your promos between rounds, and has Trivia Bingo and a tournament mode. Quizado has none of these, and we do not plan an all-day mode. If low-cost background trivia from open to close is the goal, Anytime Trivia does that and we do not.
