Hi Kelly,
This is Shaun from G2. I manage our education categories -- thanks for submitting your question about Kahoot! I think it’s a great product -- I used the free version myself as a teacher, and as you probably know, students love it.
The upgrade “Pro” and “Premium” versions of Kahoot! offer a number of features that the free version doesn’t have, including the ability to host games with larger numbers of students, more options when creating quizzes (adding images, mixing up question types, adding open-ended questions, etc.), the ability to run analytics reports to assess student progress, and more. You can see a full comparison between the free verizon and the paid versions on this helpful page: https://kahoot.com/schools/plans/.
As for whether it’s worth it, I think it depends on how often you intend to use it and what you intend to use it for. If you’re using it frequently, need the more advanced quiz-creation functionality or want to use it as an assessment tool, you might want to upgrade. Right now, Kahoot! is offering free access to Premium for schools affected by the coronavirus so you could try it out: https://kahoot.com/blog/2020/02/27/kahoot-free-access-schools-higher-education-coronavirus/.
In terms of educator discounts, it appears that Kahoot! offers plans at a discount when you order a license for a whole school, so that may be worth investigating (https://kahoot.com/schools/plans/#Can-I-get-a-school-license).
Hope that helps. Thanks for the work that you do every day.
Regards,
Shaun Bishop
