You might call it: pricing, plans, upgrade, feature list, “what do I get?”

Factile offers four subscription plans, so you can pick the one that suits you. You can also compare plans and features at www.playfactile.com/plans.

Pricing

Every paid plan comes with a 7-day money-back guarantee. If you don’t enjoy Factile, email team@playfactile.com within 7 days of signing up for a full refund.

The four plans in a nutshell

• Free — create up to 3 games; players participate in up to 5 teams; classic Factile mode only (no Buzzer Mode). Once you create 3 games, no additional games can be created in that account.
• Home/School Basic — popular for personal use. Unlimited games, all game modes, Buzzer Mode, advanced formatting for question and answer tiles, AutoGen question generation, custom mascots, comprehensive score management, and much more.
• Home/School Plus — builds on Basic. Adds Multi-Member Buzzer Mode Teams (up to 3 players per team), the Question Banks feature for building and sharing question collections, and up to 3 images per question or answer tile.
• Business — everything in Plus, and more: up to 10 players per multi-member team, more Question Banks, up to 5 images per tile, your own logo, privacy controls, Remote View, and Loop Mode (the feature older pages called Event Mode) — perfect for science fairs and trade shows, where games repeat for walk-up visitors at a booth.

What each plan includes

For a detailed matrix of the plans

Teams and players

• Free plan: up to 5 teams per game. Buzzer Mode is not available on Free.
• Any paid plan: host up to 100 teams per game — much larger groups.
• Players per team, each with their own buzzer: Basic 1 (no multi-member teams), Plus up to 3, Business up to 10. Details: Multi-Member Teams.

Board limits (every plan)

Up to 6 categories x 5 rows — blank categories and tiles hide themselves. Up to 5 Daily Double tiles per game. Custom row points up to 99,999. Want more than 6 categories? Chain up to 5 boards together with Double Factile Plus, so for example by using Double Factile Plus on 2 games you’d effectively have 12 categories.

Each feature has the full story on its own page – this table is just the quick answer.

*Switching plans later is guilt-free — changes apply pro-rata, so unused time on the old plan is credited toward the new one. See Manage Subscriptions. Leaving instead? Canceling Subscriptions and Converting From a Pro to Free Account.

Will other students or strangers be able to join my game?

Short answer: no — you control who joins with your Game PIN.

• Game PIN — to join a game you are hosting. When you host a live game, the only way for a player to get in is to enter the PIN for that specific game. This is included on every paid plan, starting with Home/School Basic. Because a player needs your game’s PIN to join, only your own students can join your game — they will never end up playing with a stranger.
• Share PIN — to keep a game’s content private (Business plan). This is a separate PIN that locks a game’s content so it can’t be found in search or copied into another account. On the plan chart this is the “Share with a secret SHARE PIN” / “Private games + prevent copying” feature.
  

What the Home/School Basic plan does — and doesn’t — do:

• It does keep your live game safe: only players with your game’s PIN can join, so your students never play with strangers.
• It does not stop other teachers from copying your game’s content into their own account. For example, a teacher searching for a good 3rd-grade history game might find one you made and copy it. They can then modify their copy (which does not affect your original) and play it with their students — and when they host, they will have a completely different game PIN from yours. This is how teachers can freely share content while students still only ever join the game hosted by their own teacher.

Why the Business plan adds a Share PIN:

Most Business customers use Factile for things like HR training and sales events, where they want to keep the material private. The Business plan’s Share PIN locks the content so it can’t be searched for or copied by anyone else.

*In short: the game PIN controls who can play in your live game (every paid plan), while the Business Share PIN controls whether your game’s content can be found and copied.
