Gimkit Pro 2026
Gimkit Basic gives every educator a free starting point — three rotating game modes, class rostering, and performance reports. Gimkit Pro removes those mode restrictions and adds tools Basic doesn’t have. This page covers exactly what Pro includes, how the two billing plans compare, and what schools need to know about group licensing.
What Does Gimkit Pro Include Beyond the Free Plan?
Basic limits access to roughly three game modes in rotation at any time. Gimkit Pro removes that cap entirely — every game mode, including Pro Exclusives, becomes available with no student limit per session.
Two tools come with Pro that Basic doesn’t offer. Gimkit Assignments let teachers send kits as homework, so students complete them individually on their own schedule. Pro also supports uploading images and adding audio directly to questions — practical for subjects like foreign language listening or science, where visuals carry the content.
The smart repetition system — which resurfaces incorrectly answered questions more often — works well alongside media-enriched question sets, making the two Pro features complementary.
Gimkit Pro Subscription Plans and Pricing
Pro is available on two billing cycles. Both plans give identical access — the difference is cost.
| Plan | Billing | Total Cost | Per Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gimkit Pro Monthly | Each month | $14.99 / month | $14.99 |
| Gimkit Pro Annual | Once per year | $59.88 / year | $4.99 |
Annual vs Monthly — Which Gimkit Pro Plan Costs Less?
The annual plan reaches break-even at four months. Four monthly charges total $59.96 — eight cents above the full annual price of $59.88. Any additional month on the monthly plan widens that gap.
Effective monthly cost — annual vs monthly plan
Annual plan billed as $59.88 once per year. Monthly plan billed $14.99 each month, $179.88 over 12 months.
For teachers using Gimkit across a standard school year, annual billing saves roughly $120 compared to monthly payments.
What Happens to Your Data When You Change Gimkit Pro Plans?
Nothing gets deleted when moving between plans. All Kits, Assignments, Classes, and Seasons carry over regardless of whether you upgrade, downgrade, or cancel. After cancellation, Pro access continues through the end of the paid period; no further charges apply unless a new subscription is purchased.
Where to Find Your Gimkit Pro Billing Receipt
Gimkit sends a receipt to your account email after every charge. To find a copy within your account, go to Settings and select Plan & Billing in the left panel. A list of past charges appears there. Click any charge to view, download, or print the receipt.
Does Gimkit Pro Offer School or District Pricing?
Gimkit Groups handles licensing for multiple teachers under one purchase. Two tiers are available:
| License | Coverage | Annual Price |
|---|---|---|
| Department | Up to 20 teachers | $650 / year |
| School | Entire school (up to 100 across buildings) | $1,000 / year |
Group licenses run for 365 days from purchase and do not auto-renew. The admin dashboard manages member additions, invoices, and renewals without requiring direct contact with Gimkit.
Do Gimkit Groups Accept Purchase Orders?
Purchase orders are accepted for group licenses only — Department and School plans. Individual Gimkit Pro subscriptions require credit card payment and do not qualify for purchase order processing.
A Few More Things Worth Knowing About Gimkit Pro
If you’re just getting started, opening a Gimkit account correctly from the beginning avoids roster and permission issues later. New educator accounts include a 14-day free trial of Gimkit Pro before the account reverts to Basic.
Gimkit cosmetics — visual items students earn through gameplay — are separate from Pro entirely. They’re student-facing and have no connection to the teacher subscription.
If Gimkit 2D game modes aren’t loading after upgrading to Pro, adjusting your WebGL settings in Gimkit resolves most loading problems.
FAQs
Is Gimkit Basic genuinely free with no time limit?
Yes. Gimkit Basic is free for all educators with no expiration. It allows unlimited students per session, class rostering, and performance reports. The only restriction is game modes — Basic rotates three free modes at a time.
What game modes does Gimkit Pro unlock?
Gimkit Pro removes the rotating three-mode limit and gives access to every game mode, including Pro Exclusives, with no player cap. On Basic, some modes are capped at five players or kept out of the free rotation entirely.
Can I cancel a Gimkit Pro subscription anytime?
Yes. Canceling stops future charges but does not end access mid-period. Pro access remains active through the time already paid for, and all content — Kits, Classes, Assignments — stays on the account after cancellation.
How does Gimkit Groups differ from an individual Gimkit Pro plan?
Gimkit Groups gives multiple teachers Pro access under one annual purchase. It offers Department ($650/year, up to 20 teachers) and School ($1,000/year, entire school) tiers, both managed from a central admin dashboard.
