A Rapid Trivia alternative for a trivia night with no host
Your pub wants a weekly trivia night, and nobody on staff wants to host it. Rapid Trivia runs a quiz with a virtual host and an AI voice. Quizado Auto-Host runs the whole Trivia night by itself on your TV, with a price you can read before you call anyone.
Rapid Trivia runs a quiz automatically with AI voiceovers of the questions and answers, and its price is not on its site (their site, November 2026). Quizado runs the Trivia night with Auto-Host on one monthly plan with a public price, and on the big screen the MC voice reads each question aloud, your own questions included.
Quizado vs. Rapid Trivia
Warum von Rapid Trivia wechseln?
A price you have to ask for
Rapid Trivia does not put a price on its site. The "Download pricing" button asks for your contact details first (their site, November 2026).
Quizado is one monthly plan, and the pricing page shows the live price, in pounds for a UK visitor. You know the number before anybody calls you.
One phone for six players
Rapid Trivia teams are "max 6 players" on one phone (their site, November 2026).
In Quizado every player joins on their own phone in the browser, and paid plans have no player cap. The free plan admits 4 player phones.
A sound system on the list
Their setup needs "a computer, internet, a sound system, and screens" (their site, November 2026).
Quizado shows every question on the TV and on the phones, so the night runs in a loud bar or a quiet corner. Where the TV has sound, Auto-Host also reads each question aloud on the big screen, and the Read questions aloud switch turns the voice off.
Only trivia
Their site describes trivia quizzes. It does not state other game formats.
Quizado has seven games in one app. Swap a week for Family Face-Off or QuizoParty on any plan, or add a Music Bingo round on Pro and Business. A person runs the games other than Trivia.
A reason to come back next week
Their site does not state a league, a season table or a way to message the players who came.
On Business, Quizado keeps leagues and seasons across your weeks, and you message the players who opted in, by email and app notification.
Was Quizado besonders macht
Von Grund auf für modernes Bar-Trivia und Live-Events entwickelt.
Auto-Host runs the Trivia night
On Pro and Business, Auto-Host opens answering, runs the clock, locks the answers, 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. It reads any pack, your own questions included, in the language the questions are written in.
Every player on their own phone
Guests scan the QR code on the TV or type the code. No app and no account, and no player cap on a paid plan.
Your questions, or AI questions
Write a local round on any plan and host it from Pro, or let AI write a round about your town, your team or your beer list on any paid plan.
More than one screen
Copy the screen link and open it in a browser on every TV in the venue; each one follows the same game. Chromecast, Apple TV and Android TV work too.
Host Coach for a staff host
When a bartender runs the night instead, Host Coach shows what to do now and one line to say out loud. It is free on every plan.
Two ways to run trivia with nobody on the microphone
Rapid Trivia says "A virtual live host makes it interactive, and quizzes set up in seconds, running automatically", with "Quiz questions and answers with an AI voiceover" (their site, November 2026). The voice needs a sound system in the room.
Quizado Auto-Host, on Pro and Business, runs a whole Trivia night by itself: it opens answering, runs the clock, locks, reveals, scores and moves on. On the big screen it reads each question aloud in the MC voice, and the questions also show on every phone. If you would rather have a person on the night, your own staff run it from a phone with Host Coach.
What Rapid Trivia costs
We cannot tell you. Their site has no price: the "Download pricing" button asks for your contact details. Their FAQ says you can "Preview for up to 2 players without a license" and that "A license is required for more than 2 players" (their site, November 2026).
Quizado is one monthly plan, and you cancel it any month. Auto-Host is on Pro and Business. The pricing page shows the live price, with no form to fill in.
What they claim
Rapid Trivia says it has been "Bringing Entertainment to Venues Since 2007" and claims "over 100,000 trivia events worldwide", in the UK, USA, Canada and Australia (their site, November 2026). We cannot check these figures, so we quote them as theirs.
Who should stay, who should switch
Stay with Rapid Trivia if...
Rapid Trivia is the better fit for some venues.
- +Your teams already like their virtual host and its voice
- +Your current agreement with them suits your budget
- +You like the marketing materials they post to the venue
- +Your teams are happy to share one phone each
Switch to Quizado if...
These are the reasons a venue moves to Quizado.
- +You want to see the price before you talk to sales
- +You want every player on their own phone
- +Your room has no sound system, or it is too loud for a voice: the questions also show on the TV and every phone
- +You want Family Face-Off, QuizoParty or Music Bingo nights in the same app
- +You want leagues and messages to your regulars (Business)
How to switch in 3 steps
Play a free night first
Make a free account and play a free pack with up to 4 phones on a quiet night. Your current quiz carries on.
Run one night on Auto-Host
On Pro or Business, pick a pack or let AI write one, put the big screen on the TV, start Auto-Host and watch the night run.
End the old agreement
Check the terms of your Rapid Trivia license before you end it, then keep the weekly night on your plan. Start a league on Business so the teams come back.
What Rapid Trivia does that we do not
An AI voice reads their questions and answers aloud. Our MC voice reads the questions too, but only on the big screen and only with an internet connection, and it skips slides, music questions and questions with a clip. They post marketing materials to the venue, and players vote on the categories. And Auto-Host runs Trivia only: Family Face-Off and QuizoParty need a person.
