The biggest difference

With Gimkit

Gimkit is designed for live classroom play hosted by a teacher, and the free plan caps how many kits and questions you get. Studying on your own from your own notes is not what it is built for.

With AvaStudy

AvaStudy reads your material and builds the games automatically. Play 20+ modes whenever you want, from the content you actually need to learn — no host, no kit cap.

The whole game library, from one upload

The same material becomes every one of these — nothing to build by hand.

Common questions

Is there a Gimkit alternative for studying solo?↓
Yes. AvaStudy is built for one student studying their own material — no host or kit caps. Upload your notes and get 20+ replayable study games. (Teachers can also run a live class game in AvaStudy, but you never need one to study on your own.)
Does AvaStudy limit how much I can study?↓
Create 3 study guides in total for free, with every compatible study game included — 20+ games in the current library — plus a readiness score on every guide, 5 Study Tutor messages a day, mastery tracking, pets, coins, streaks, and a Season Path of rewards. AvaStudy Unlimited ($6.99/month or $59.99/year) adds unlimited study-guide uploads, full Practice Tests, the full readiness breakdown (every concept grouped as Mastered, Getting There, Needs Work or Not Started, with practice for what is left), a personalized study plan, unlimited Study Tutor messages, and app themes.
Can I make games from my own worksheet?↓
Yes — snap a photo or upload a PDF and AvaStudy builds the games from your actual material automatically.
