The quiz is your product, not the venue's

For hosts paid to run quizzes: your packs travel between venues, each venue keeps its own tables and codes, and session history is what you show a landlord.

Your questions are the product

A venue is buying a quiz night. You are the quiz night, and what a landlord is actually paying for is that your rounds are better than the ones he could print off himself.

So the packs matter more to you than to anyone else. Custom packs belong to your account rather than to a venue, which means the material you have spent two years building travels with you: to the pub you started at, the one you added on Thursdays, and the one you will pick up in the spring.

Ultimate is unlimited custom packs; Pro caps them at five, which a working host will pass quickly.

Each venue keeps its own room

Tables and their printed codes belong to the venue. Nobody has to reprint anything because you also work down the road, and a venue you stop working at keeps its own setup.

The practical version: you turn up with a pack and a laptop, and the room is already configured from last time.

Proving it was worth booking you

This is the part freelancers underrate. A landlord decides whether to keep you on an impression of how busy last month felt, and impressions are not on your side in February.

Every session is saved with its final leaderboard and how many tables played. A run of those is an argument: attendance rising over eight weeks, the same teams returning, the night you moved to drawing better than the one you moved from. It is the difference between asking to be rebooked and showing why.

Working a circuit

If you are a one-person operation, Pro is enough: one account, one quiz at a time. It stops being enough at the point where somebody else hosts for you, or two venues want the same Tuesday.

Ultimate covers up to five host accounts and five simultaneous sessions, which is what a small circuit run by more than one person needs. Each host gets their own login rather than sharing yours, which matters when one of them stops working for you.
