Why 3 Free Quizzes Isn't the End on Quiz Bru

Three saved quizzes is the only real constraint on Quiz Bru's free plan, and it was set deliberately rather than as a taste of a bigger product held back. Live hosting, player count, question bank access, and results history are all unrestricted regardless of tier. The limit sits on how many quizzes you can have saved at once, not on how much you can actually do with them.

That said, three was a starting point, not a permanent ceiling carved into the platform. As more people use Quiz Bru for recurring things (a weekly office quiz, a rotating set of classroom topics, a quiz night series) the case for a slightly larger free allowance gets stronger. It's a number we're actively reconsidering, not a line we've decided is final.

Before any plan changes land, three quizzes goes further than it looks like it should. The question bank stores every question you've written across every quiz, so a quiz you retire isn't lost knowledge: you can pull the same questions straight into whatever replaces it. Building a general knowledge quiz, a specialist topic quiz, and one that gets refreshed for whatever event is coming up next covers most recurring use cases without ever hitting the cap.

Editing an existing quiz is often the better move over deleting one outright. Swap the questions, change the title, and keep hosting under the same slot. Session history stays attached to the quiz's results log even after you've changed its content, so a quiz that started as 'Friday Trivia' can become 'End of Year Quiz' next December without losing the record of every session run under it.

If you're testing whether Quiz Bru fits how you actually want to run quizzes, three is enough to find out. Most of what makes the platform useful (the live join code, the countdown-timer scoring, the leaderboard) shows up the moment you host your first session, long before storage limits become the thing you're thinking about.

One option under consideration is raising the free plan from 3 saved quizzes to 5. It's not confirmed and there's no release date attached to it: it's a change we're weighing based on how people are actually using the platform, not an announcement of a locked-in feature. But the direction is worth being upfront about, because it changes how you might think about the free plan today versus what it could look like soon.

The reasoning behind considering 5 rather than some much larger number is about keeping the free plan genuinely useful without turning it into an unlimited plan by another name. Two extra slots covers a meaningful gap: a teacher running one quiz per topic across a term, a team running a rotating set of icebreakers, a family that wants a permanent 'best of' quiz alongside a couple of seasonal ones.

If this change ships, existing free accounts would simply gain the extra capacity, the same way the current 3-quiz allowance already works: nothing about what's saved today would need to move, be deleted, or be recreated.

Alongside a possible free plan increase, a paid tier is planned for people who outgrow any fixed cap entirely: professional quiz hosts, schools running dozens of subjects, businesses that want a permanent library rather than a rotating one. The current thinking, visible on the pricing page, points to unlimited quizzes, a higher per-quiz question limit, an ad-free experience, and session analytics and exports as the paid tier's shape.

None of that is available yet and there's no confirmed launch date. We're intentionally not putting a number on it or promising a quarter, because a paid tier is worth getting right rather than shipping on a deadline and walking back pricing or features afterward. What's committed is the direction: free stays a real, usable plan, and paid exists for people who need more capacity than any free tier, current or expanded, will offer.

The most common worry with any 'a paid plan is coming' announcement is that the free plan is about to get worse to make the paid one look better. That's not the plan here. Live hosting, unlimited players per session, the full question bank, and complete results history are staying exactly as available on free as they are right now. A paid tier adds capacity and extras on top; it isn't a mechanism for removing things free accounts already have.

This extends to whatever happens with the quiz-count cap specifically. If the free allowance moves from 3 to 5, that's an addition, not a repackaging where something else gets restricted to offset it. If it doesn't move at all in the near term, the 3-quiz plan as it exists today isn't going anywhere or getting a countdown attached to it.

If you've been holding off on trying Quiz Bru because 3 quizzes sounds restrictive, it's worth separating the storage limit from the actual product. Hosting a live session, watching a room's leaderboard shuffle in real time, and running a countdown-timer quiz with strangers or a room full of coworkers: none of that changes based on which tier you're on. The cap only matters once you're trying to keep more than three distinct quizzes on file simultaneously, and the question bank soaks up a good chunk of that pressure regardless.

Whatever happens with the free allowance or the eventual paid tier, starting today costs nothing and locks in nothing you'd need to undo later. Build your first quiz, run it with a real group, and see whether three slots feels tight before assuming it will. For a lot of recurring use cases, from a small quiz team's regular categories to a classroom's weekly topic, it holds up better than the number alone suggests.
