The short version
- Only Quizizz has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Quizizz limited question types with no open-ended response option; Securly pricing stacks by module and only Filter has rates that surface publicly, so the quoted total for Filter plus Aware plus On-Call is routinely several times the number a district budgeted from the filtering line alone.
- They diverge on capability: Quizizz covers Quiz games, Securly covers Filter.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Quizizz
- Limited question types with no open-ended response option
- Game format emphasizes quick answers which may stress slower-paced students
- Requires reliable internet connection, no offline option
- Advanced features and AI-generated quizzes locked behind paid plans
Securly
- Pricing stacks by module and only Filter has rates that surface publicly, so the quoted total for Filter plus Aware plus On-Call is routinely several times the number a district budgeted from the filtering line alone.
- The safety scanning generates false positives at volume, including song lyrics, creative writing and health-class assignments, and each one consumes counsellor or administrator time that the vendor does not pay for.
- Alerting on student writing is a surveillance decision with real community consequences, and districts that deploy it without an explicit board policy and parent notification have faced local objections after the fact.
- Coverage is strongest on managed Chromebooks; personal devices, non-Chrome browsers and encrypted apps outside the agent leave gaps that the compliance story quietly depends on nobody testing.
- Per-student pricing is charged on enrolment rather than on devices, so a district that issues devices to only some year groups still pays for every student on the roll.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Quizizz: Does Quizizz have a free tier?
Yes, Quizizz offers a perpetual free tier with quiz creation, access to a library of 20 million+ public activities, and the ability to run small live sessions with students at no cost.
SourceSecurly: Does Securly publish pricing?
Not on its own site. Tiered per-student rates for Filter appear in some US purchasing co-operative catalogues, falling as enrolment rises, but Aware, On-Call, Classroom, MDM and Pass are quoted.
Quizizz: Can Quizizz integrate with Google Classroom?
Yes. Quizizz integrates with Google Classroom to assign quizzes and lessons with automatic grade syncing back to Google Classroom.
SourceSecurly: What is the difference between Aware and On-Call?
Aware is the automated detection that produces alerts. On-Call is the staffed service that reads the serious ones out of hours and phones your escalation contacts. Buying Aware alone leaves the triage with your own staff.
Quizizz: What question types does Quizizz support?
Quizizz offers multiple choice, multiple select, and other format types, but does not support open-ended response questions, limiting its use for essays or complex problem-solving.
SourceSecurly: Does it filter on home internet?
Yes, filtering follows the managed device rather than the network, which is the point for take-home Chromebook programmes.
Securly: Is student data used for anything else?
Securly signs the US Student Privacy Pledge and district data processing agreements; check the specific DPA rather than the marketing page, since scanning scope and retention are negotiated terms.
