When Socrative joined the Showbie family in 2018, we were excited to take your Socrative experience to the next level. Since then, our team has built a number of exciting new features to help you and millions of other educators better assess and advance student understanding.
We’ve kept our promise to deliver an engaging, easy-to-use, and free version of Socrative for educators. To continue delivering new functionality while also maintaining the experience you’ve come to expect from us, we’ve decided to make some important changes to the free Socrative plan.
Here’s What’s Changing
Pro features that are now free
We have great news about some of our Pro features. If you’re using Socrative for free today, you can now access a number of helpful features previously only available to users with a Socrative Pro subscription, including:
- Math Equations (learn more)
- Weighted Questions (learn more)
- Images in Answers (learn more)
New quiz list limit
Previously, legacy users who registered for a free Socrative plan before September 7, 2021, could create and store an unlimited number of quizzes in your quiz list. Going forward, your new quiz limit will be the total number of quizzes in your quiz list as of today, plus 5.
So what does this mean? Let’s say, for example, you’ve got 15 quizzes saved in your quiz list already. As a long-time user, your new quiz limit would be 15+5, for a total of 20 quizzes.
For newer users who joined Socrative on a free plan after September 7, 2021, there are no changes to your free account. Your quiz limit stays the same – a maximum of 5 quizzes.
When you reach your quiz limit, you’ll either need to archive old quizzes to make room in your quiz list or upgrade your plan to Socrative Pro to access unlimited quiz creation. Not sure how to use the quiz archive? Learn more right here.
Save on Socrative Pro with Volume Pricing
We know Socrative is an essential part of your teaching toolkit. With Socrative Pro, you can create unlimited quizzes, access up to 20 rooms, easily import student rosters, stay organized with quiz folders, customize quiz reports, and more.
Volume pricing starts at just 3+ teachers. If you’re ready to take your Socrative experience further, buddy up with some fellow Socrative users for the best price on a school-wide subscription. To get started, contact our team.
So, Why Are We Doing This?
Over the last few years, our team has been pouring a ton of effort into improving how educators worldwide choose to engage their learners with formative and summative assessments.
In order to continue delivering the value and experience you expect from Socrative, we’ve had to make some changes to the free Socrative plan. We’re confident these small changes will support the long-term growth of the app and help us make a big difference in how we can support you in advancing learning outcomes in your classroom.
What’s Next?
If you have any questions about your new quiz limit, new Pro features accessible to you, or how to upgrade to Socrative Pro, please contact our support team – we’d be happy to help!
We appreciate your commitment to Socrative as we’ve grown, and we hope you’ll continue to grow with us.
