The main differences
Both are genuinely live, real-time hosting platforms — these are the places they actually differ.
| Play The Venue | SpeedQuizzing | |
|---|---|---|
| How players join | Straight in their phone's browser via a code or QR link — nothing to install. | Players download the free SpeedQuizzing app (iOS/Android) before they can join in. |
| Host setup | One browser tab, on any device. | Runs from the SpeedQuizzing Pro desktop application on Windows or Mac. |
| Pricing model | A flat monthly plan from £2.99, unlimited hosting included. | Pay-per-event credits — a SpeedQuizzing Pro activation is quoted at around £21, purchased in credit bundles, with each activation covering one day. |
| Game library | 18 live games across ten formats — Bingo, Quiz Night, Buzzer Round, Prize Wheel, Lottery Draw, Would You Rather, Fib or Fact, Higher or Lower, Reaction Time and Scrolling Tiles — mixed freely within one session. | Quiz-focused, with keypad quiz rounds plus buzzer, bingo, sound-clip and voting-style formats available within SpeedQuizzing Pro. |
| Custom questions | Write and reuse your own question bank across any of the seven quiz formats, included on every plan. | Custom questions can be added through SpeedQuizzing's own Question Manager. |
| Second screen | A popout, read-only TV/projector display, included on the Professional plan. | A Live-Screen display option is available for venues with a screen or projector. |
| Getting started | 15-day free trial, no card required. | The player app is free; hosting a quiz requires buying activation credits first. |
