Those are four products, and picking from the wrong category is why so many people end up with something they stop opening after a week. WeSolve+ is best for the fourth case, where the questions have to come out of material you already own. The tool below is the free entry to that and needs no account.
WeSolve+ reads the whole document and writes the questions for you
Upload your PDF, photograph your notebook, or point the camera. WeSolve+ writes questions from that material, explains why each answer is right, reads the chapter back to you as a podcast, and remembers every item you missed until you own it.
The tool below is a small browser-only tool and it is not WeSolve+: paste a few lines and text rules turn them into cards on the spot. The real app, the one that uses AI, is behind the link above.
Your text to a quiz
This is a browser-only tool, and that is all it isIt splits the text you paste by rule, and nothing else. WeSolve+ is a different thing entirely: it reads your whole PDF with AI, writes the reasoning behind every question, speaks the chapter back to you, and remembers what you missed so it can return it.

This tool uses text rules, not AI. It has no account, no stored data and no limit, because it never contacts a server. That also means it cannot host a live game, share a set with a class or keep your score between sessions, which are the things the other three categories on this page exist to do. Your text stays in the browser and is never sent anywhere.
The four categories, and what each is actually solving
A live classroom game exists to get thirty people answering at once and to show the teacher the distribution, which is what audience response systems were built for. A revision app exists to bring an item back at the right interval and to keep the ones you miss. A survey or assessment platform exists to collect responses from people who are not in the room, usually with a report at the end, and often sits inside a learning management system. A generator exists to produce the questions themselves from material, and a converter such as the script builder reshapes text you already have. Nothing stops one product doing two, but every product is honestly good at one, and the mismatch usually shows up in week two rather than on the pricing page.
Six questions worth asking before you sign up
Where do the questions come from, a bank or your own material. What happens to a question you get wrong, does it return and when. Can you get your content out again, and in what format. Does it work with a class or only alone. What is metered on the free plan, questions, sets, uploads or people. And does anything need to be installed, since a browser tool has no update to miss and no permissions to grant. The one that catches people out is the third: a set of five hundred cards you cannot export is five hundred cards you will rewrite somewhere else eventually, which is why plain text export matters more than any feature on a comparison table.
Speed scoring changes what you practise
Most live quiz products award points for answering quickly, which is a design decision with consequences. It rewards reading speed and recognition and it penalises the person who thinks before answering, so a class leaderboard often ranks something other than knowledge. This is the visible edge of gamification, which reliably raises participation and does not automatically raise learning. If the app lets you turn timing off, or score correctness first and use time only to break ties, that setting is worth finding on the first day rather than the fiftieth.
Free plans, and what the limit is actually on
Read which resource is metered, because it tells you what the product costs to run. A cap on people usually means the value is in hosting a session. A cap on questions or sets usually means storage and sync. A cap on uploads means the expensive part is reading a file, which is the honest signature of anything doing real work on your material. A tool with no cap at all is either advertising supported or it runs entirely in your browser, and in the second case there is genuinely nothing to meter, which is the position this page's tool is in. None of these is a trick; they are just different cost structures, and knowing which one you are in tells you what will run out.
The category almost nobody names: your own material
A large question bank is useful right up to the point where your lecturer sets something the bank does not cover, and then it is worth nothing. Questions generated from your own chapter use your notation, your worked examples and your syllabus, which is the difference between practice and adjacent practice. This is the harder product to build, which is why fewer apps are in this category, and it is where the file reading step becomes unavoidable. It is also why a rule based browser tool can go a long way and then stops abruptly: rules can reshape text you paste and cannot open a PDF.
Where WeSolve+ sits
Upload a PDF, a photograph of a page or a camera shot and it writes an explained quiz, a card deck and a short audio recap from that file. Wrong answers collect in their own list, cards come back on a schedule, and you can duel a friend on questions from your own material or share a set into a classroom. It runs at wesolveapp.com in any browser and as an App Store app on iPhone and iPad, free to begin, with the meter on files rather than on questions. There is no separate Android app. Figures on pricing, and the honest comparisons on the comparison pages.

Which quiz app is best?
The question has no answer until you say which of the four jobs you need: a live game, private revision, collecting responses, or making questions from your own material. Products are honestly good at one.
Is this tool free?
Yes, with no account and no cap, because it runs in your browser and there is nothing on our side to meter. That is a cost structure rather than a promotion.
Can I use it with a class?
Not this tool, since it keeps nothing and shares nothing. Building a set to read aloud in a room works fine; a live scoreboard needs a product designed for it.
What should I check before signing up to anything?
Whether you can export your content as plain text. A large set you cannot get out is a set you will rewrite elsewhere sooner or later.
Why do quiz apps score on speed?
Because it makes a livelier game. It also rewards reading speed over thinking, so turn it off if the app allows it, or score correctness first and use time only for ties.
Does anything I paste get uploaded?
No. There is no server behind this box. You can confirm it by watching the network panel while you type, or by disconnecting entirely.
