Free is solo only. Pro allows up to 3 members in 1 workspace. Team allows unlimited workspaces and members.
Branding
Team onlyUpload a logo in workspace settings — it carries through the lobby, host console, projector, and player screens for games hosted from that workspace.
Channels & follow
- A vanity public profile link (winkst.com/c/yourname) for your published quizzes — set it in account settings.
- Follow other creators and see their public quizzes and activity in your feed.
