Socrative offers both free and paid versions, supports real-time feedback and custom assessments, but has limitations in connectivity and data retention. Quizizz is completely free, allows unlimited players and self-paced assessments, integrates with Google Classroom, and is recommended for its independence and interactivity in the classroom.
