Frequently asked questions
+Is Kleveroo a Factile alternative?
Yes. Kleveroo and Factile both let you build and host Jeopardy-style review games. Kleveroo focuses on a modern host view, a generous free tier for manual building, and an optional AI generator that can read a PDF lesson plan. Factile is a long-standing, manual-first tool with its own AutoGen add-on and a large library of shared games.
+Can I build a Jeopardy board for free on Kleveroo?
Yes. Kleveroo's manual builder is free forever. You can create unlimited boards from a blank 5×5 grid, write every category, clue, and answer yourself, and host them with no credit card required.
+What does Kleveroo offer that Factile doesn't?
Three things stand out: an optional AI generator that can ingest a PDF lesson plan, a host view designed for projectors and Chromebooks out of the box, and board themes (Candy, Beach, Western, Arcade, and more) so the game feels like a real show.
+What does Factile do well?
Factile has been around for years and has a strong shared-game library, a familiar manual editor, and a loyal teacher community. If you already have a Factile workflow that works, there's no urgent reason to switch — Kleveroo just gives you another modern option to evaluate.
+Can I import a Factile game into Kleveroo?
Not directly. The fastest path is to open your Factile game, copy each category and clue into Kleveroo's manual builder, or paste your source material into the AI generator and let it draft a Kleveroo board you can edit.
+How much does Kleveroo cost?
Manual board building and hosting are free forever. Kleveroo Boards ($4.99/mo) and Kleveroo+ ($9.99/mo) unlock AI generation, premium curated boards, larger 8×8 boards, and themes. One-time AI credit packs are also available if you don't want a subscription.
