Why Switch from Factile?
Free Tier Shows Ads and Watermarks
Factile inserts Factile branding and ads on free games. Removing them requires a paid subscription.
Quizado free tier has no watermark, no ads and no Factile-style logo on your screen.
Classroom-First Design
Factile is built for teachers. Most features assume a quiet classroom with a single shared screen.
Quizado is built for live venues - projector-friendly leaderboards, audio rounds, big-screen team colors and live buzzers.
No AI to Help Build Games
Factile requires you to hand-write every category, question and answer. Building a polished board takes hours.
Quizado generates trivia, opinion and image questions on any topic in seconds with built-in AI.
Limited Multi-Format Support
Factile templates focus on Jeopardy. Hosting Family Feud, Name That Tune or Wheel of Fortune requires separate tools.
Quizado hosts Jeopardy, Family Feud, Name That Tune, Wheel of Fortune and custom round formats from one game.

When Factile might be right for you
Factile is a solid choice if you are a teacher running classroom review games and you mainly want a Jeopardy board with a basic buzz-in. The free tier with a watermark is enough for casual classroom use. Quizado is the better fit when you also need Family Feud or Name That Tune, want a watermark-free venue look, need live phone buzzers with millisecond timing, or want AI to write the questions for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Quizado different from Factile?
Factile is a Jeopardy-style game maker focused on classrooms. Quizado is a complete live game-show platform built for bars and venues, with Jeopardy plus Family Feud, Name That Tune, Wheel of Fortune, AI question generation, live phone buzzers, audio and video rounds, and native desktop and mobile host apps.
Is Quizado really free?
Yes. The free tier lets you host full games with no watermark and no ads. Paid plans unlock unlimited custom games, advanced round types and white-label venue branding.
Can I run a Family Feud round in Factile?
Factile has a Family Feud-style template, but it lacks survey scoring, big-board reveals and the live buzzer flow that real Family Feud rounds need. Quizado was built around the Family Feud format and gets the scoring, reveals and team rivalry right.
Do players need to download anything?
No. Players join with a QR code or short link and play directly in their phone browser. The host can use the web app or our desktop and mobile apps.
Can I keep my existing Factile content?
You cannot import a Factile board file, but the built-in AI can rebuild a typical board in under a minute. Paste your category names and Quizado will generate matching questions for you to review.
