Pricing Questions
Common questions about Heat Trivia pricing, billing, and what's included.
Heat Trivia starts at $23.95 for a single game with 14-day access. The monthly subscription is $59.95/mo and includes two fresh game packs every week, rolling access to your last 10 weeks of games, and the full hosting platform. Specialty themed packs range from $19.95 to $29.95 each. All plans include slide engine, live scoring, TV display, player phone join, and printable answer sheets.
No. There are zero contracts, zero setup fees, and zero hidden costs. The monthly subscription can be cancelled at any time through your billing portal, and you keep access through the end of your current billing period. Single game and specialty pack purchases are one-time charges with no recurring billing.
Absolutely. You can try a free interactive demo right now to see how the slide engine, scoring, and TV display work. You can also buy a single game for $23.95 to test the full platform with a real game at your venue before subscribing monthly.
The monthly subscription ($59.95/mo) gives you ongoing access to fresh trivia content: two new game packs ship every week, and you always have access to the 10 most recent weeks. A single game purchase ($23.95) gives you 14-day access to the current week's game pack. Both include the same full platform. If you host trivia regularly, the subscription saves you significant money — it works out to about $7.50 per game pack.
Live trivia hosts typically charge $150 to $350+ per event. At one event per week, that's $600 to $1,400+ per month. With Heat Trivia at $59.95/mo, your existing staff runs the show using our platform — saving you 90% or more compared to a live host. You also get more control over scheduling, branding, and format.
No. Unlike tablet-based services like Buzztime, Heat Trivia runs entirely in your web browser. You need a laptop or tablet for the host dashboard, a TV or projector to display game slides (most venues already have one), a printer for answer sheets, and pens for teams. That's it. No proprietary hardware, no installation, no monthly equipment fees.
You keep full access through the end of your current billing period. After that, your account becomes inactive. There are no cancellation fees and no penalties. If you decide to come back later, you can re-subscribe at any time and pick up right where you left off with the latest game packs.
Currently, each venue needs its own subscription for independent branding and session management. If you operate multiple locations and want to discuss volume pricing, reach out to us directly and we'll work something out.
