How is it free?
GimKit Join has no premium tier and no paywalled features. Every teacher gets the same tools: all modes, unlimited rooms, host controls, and the quiz library.
We believe review games should not drain classroom budgets. There is no upsell screen after you create a game and no student checkout flow.
Our model is transparent: the product stays free for schools. If we add revenue later, it will not lock core hosting or joining behind a subscription.
