Crowdpurr is audience-engagement software sold by the size of the crowd. Quizado is trivia software sold by the venue, built around the same forty regulars turning up every Tuesday.
Crowdpurr is the better fit when you run occasional events of very different sizes and pay for the crowd you get; Quizado is the better fit when you run the same trivia night every week in the same room and want one flat plan, venue formats such as Family Feud and Jeopardy, and a season table that brings the regulars back.
Crowdpurr tiers are set by how many participants one experience can hold, so one busy quarter-final night can push you onto a tier you then pay for all year. Check their site for current pricing.
Quizado charges per host account, not per head. Thirty phones in January and ninety in June cost the same on a paid plan.
The free Crowdpurr tier holds 20 participants and 15 questions per experience. A pub quiz with six teams of four is already over that line before you write round two.
Quizado free runs a whole night for up to sixteen players, and the first paid plan lifts the cap entirely rather than moving you up a ladder.
Lead capture, social walls, streaming minutes and team-member seats are what the higher Crowdpurr tiers are for. A bar does not collect delegate emails at a quiz.
Quizado spends its plan tiers on things a venue uses: media rounds, AI credits, leagues, a custom logo and the extra game formats.
An audience-response tool gives you questions and a leaderboard. It does not give you a Family Feud board or a Jeopardy grid for the weeks when the room wants something else.
Quizado carries Bar Trivia with five round types and Name That Tune questions in the same app. Family Feud, Jeopardy and Music Bingo are on Hospitality Group.
Event software treats each night as a fresh experience. The scores go into a spreadsheet and the room starts from zero seven days later.
Quizado leagues and seasons carry team points across weeks from Trivia Pro up, so regulars come in to defend a position on the table.
A browser dashboard is fine at a desk. It is less fine on a wet bar top with one hand on a microphone.
Quizado ships desktop apps for Windows, macOS and Linux and native apps for iOS, iPadOS and Android, so the host console is on whatever is nearest.

Buzzer Race, Everyone Answers, Everyone Scores, Knockout and Wager, with Music Bingo making a sixth on Hospitality Group. Mix them inside one night so the pace changes between rounds instead of forty questions in a row.
You read the question, the room answers out loud, you award the points from the console. It is the format that fills a room when plain trivia has gone stale.
The host console locks the first buzz it receives and shows the queue in order, so you always have one ruling to work from. Nobody has to buy a buzzer box.
The code goes on the big screen and the table tents. Guests point a camera at it and they are on a team. No install, no account, no signup queue at the door.
Run a league over eight or twelve weeks. The standings are the reason a team books the same table every Tuesday instead of drifting to the pub down the road.
Type a topic and get a bar trivia round back. Local history, the brewery you stock, the team playing on Sunday. Monthly AI credits start on Trivia Pro, and you can edit every question before it goes live.
Crowdpurr publishes five tiers and the thing that separates them is how many participants one experience can hold. The free Basic tier holds 20 participants, Classroom lists 100, Seminar 500, Conference 1,000 and Convention 5,000 (crowdpurr.com, checked August 2026). Prices move, so read their pricing page before you budget.
That model makes sense for an events business. If you run a 900-person sales kickoff in March and a 40-person workshop in April, paying for the crowd is fair. A weekly quiz is the opposite shape. The room is roughly the same size every week, the same faces come back, and the only number that changes is whether it rained. Paying for a ceiling you touch twice a year is money the till never sees.
Quizado prices per host account. The free plan hosts a genuine bar trivia night with the built-in starter packs, live phone buzzers, big-screen themes and up to sixteen players on one venue, with no card. Neighborhood Pub lifts the player cap and opens the premium question library. Trivia Pro is where writing your own question sets starts, and it adds media rounds, monthly AI credits, leagues and a custom logo. Family Feud, Jeopardy and Music Bingo are on Hospitality Group, along with bulk import, custom fonts and colours and up to three venues. Current figures are on the pricing page.
Crowdpurr describes itself as an interactive event platform. Trivia is one of the experience types it runs, alongside polls, bingo and a social wall, and the dashboard is built to configure an experience, present it and export the responses afterwards. It also lists AI trivia generation, lead capture, branding controls and a presentation view that streams to YouTube Live, OBS, Zoom or Webex.
Most of that is genuinely useful if your job title has the word event in it. Very little of it is useful at half past eight on a Tuesday with six teams, a microphone and a bar to serve. What a venue needs instead is a fast host console, a display that reads from the back of the room, teams rather than individuals, and a format that can change when the crowd gets bored.
That is the gap Quizado is built into. The host device drives the night, the TV or projector shows the question, the timer and the live scores, and the phones are just buzzers and answer pads. Nothing on screen asks a guest for an email address before they can play.
A quiz night dies of sameness before it dies of anything else. Quizado bar trivia has five round types you can mix inside one night: Buzzer Race for speed, Everyone Answers so quiet teams still score, Everyone Scores so nobody sits a round out, Knockout for a sudden-death finish and Wager for a last-round comeback. Music Bingo makes a sixth on Hospitality Group, and Name That Tune questions put a track on the speakers instead of a question on the screen.
Family Feud and Jeopardy sit on top of that on the Hospitality Group plan. Both are host-run: you read the prompt, the teams shout, and you award points from the console. They need a person with a microphone, which is exactly what a hosted venue night already has and a self-serve engagement tool does not assume.
There are rooms where an engagement platform is simply the right tool.
Venues usually move for one of these four reasons.
Open a free Quizado account, pick one of the built-in starter packs and run a single ten-question round. No card, nothing to cancel. Writing your own question sets and AI generation start on Trivia Pro.
Play the Quizado round first on a normal quiz night while your current setup carries the rest. The QR code goes on the TV and the tables. You will know inside twenty minutes whether the room prefers it.
Once the whole night runs on Quizado, open a league on Trivia Pro so team points carry week to week, and drop the tier you were paying for elsewhere at the end of its billing period.
Crowdpurr is a broader audience-engagement platform. It runs polls and social walls next to trivia, it captures participant details, it streams a presentation view into Zoom, Webex, OBS or YouTube Live, and its top tiers hold thousands of participants in one experience. Quizado does none of that. We do one night, in one room, with teams and a host. If your problem is a conference hall rather than a bar, they are the right call.
New to running a night in-house? Start with the bar trivia software overview, then look at the trivia host app if you would rather run everything from a phone or laptop behind the bar.
Start free with the built-in packs, put the QR code on the TV and see how the room reacts. Writing your own question sets starts on Trivia Pro.
