The AMI Trivia alternative for a trivia night, not trivia all day
AMI Trivia runs short games on your TVs from morning to close. Quizado runs one trivia night your regulars come for, and on Pro and Business, Auto-Host runs that night by itself.
AMI Trivia is background trivia that runs all day 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 players joining by QR code in the browser and no app.
Quizado vs. AMI Trivia
¿Por qué cambiar de AMI Trivia?
A game every 20 minutes is not a night out
Rolling games suit guests who are already in the room. They do 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 silent screen
AMI says its trivia "is completely silent" (their site, November 2026).
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.
An app before the first answer
AMI Trivia players answer in the AMI Play app (their site, November 2026).
Quizado players scan the QR code on the TV and play in the phone browser. No app store and no account.
A box behind every venue
AMI says "A media player is required at every venue" (their site, November 2026).
Quizado shows on any TV. Open the screen link in a browser, or use Apple TV, Chromecast or Android TV.
A setup fee before you know
AMI lists a one-time $99 setup fee next to the $199 monthly fee (their site, November 2026).
Quizado has a free plan for 4 player phones, run by a person, so you can try a night first. Auto-Host comes with Pro and Business.
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.
Qué Hace Diferente a Quizado
Diseñado desde cero para la trivia de bar moderna y los eventos en directo.
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. 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.
AI questions and venue leagues
Every paid plan writes themed rounds with AI questions. Business adds leagues and seasons for your own venue, so regulars come back to defend a place on the table.
What AMI Trivia costs in 2026
AMI states the regular monthly subscription fee as $199, with a one-time setup fee of $99 at the start (their site, November 2026). It is "billed monthly, and there is no long-term commitment or annual contract", and "no prorated refunds or credits are issued for partial months". A first-year offer of $149 a month was valid through August 31, 2026, and has ended.
Our arithmetic: $199 a month for twelve months plus the $99 setup is $2,487 in the first year. Quizado has a free plan, then one monthly plan; the pricing page shows the current price.
Trivia all day, or a trivia night?
AMI Trivia is background trivia. New games start every 20 minutes, each about 20 minutes long with about 3 minutes between them, on schedules from 7:00am to 3:00am. AMI says "trivia games cannot be manually paused or stopped" (their site, November 2026). Nobody on staff runs it, and it is on whenever the TVs are on.
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 from open to close, AMI fits. If you want a night your regulars come in for, Quizado fits.
Who makes AMI Trivia
AMI Trivia comes from AMI Entertainment, the jukebox company, and some venues know it as Tap TV. Players use the AMI Play app. AMI says "An AMI jukebox is not required to offer AMI Trivia", but a media player is, with at least 25Mbps of internet (their site, November 2026).
Quizado needs no box from us. The host uses a laptop, tablet or phone, and the game shows on any TV in a browser or on Apple TV, Chromecast or Android TV.
Who should stay, who should switch
Stay with AMI Trivia if...
AMI 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 ads for your venue between games
- +Your players care about national leaderboards and tournaments
- +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 players to join in the browser with no app
- +You want an MC voice that reads the questions, instead of a silent screen
- +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. AMI 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.
Cancel at the end of a billing month
AMI bills monthly and issues no prorated refunds for partial months (their site, November 2026), so time the cancellation for the end of a month.
What AMI Trivia does that we do not
AMI Trivia runs trivia all day with no event and no staff, shows ads between games, and has national leaderboards and scheduled tournaments. Quizado has none of these, and we do not plan an all-day mode. If background trivia from open to close is the goal, AMI does that and we do not.
