The comparison that matters

What a game night costs, the usual way

The alternative to Nightcap isn't other software — it's paying a person to read questions out loud. Most trivia companies don't publish a rate card and quote per venue.

Typical US cost of running one game night a week. Human-host figures are market rates reported by venues and hosts, not quotes from any one company.
How you run it Per night Per month
Hire a trivia company $150 – $200 $600 – $800
Buy question packs, staff hosts it $25 – $50 $100 – $200 + staff time
Nightcap Trivia about $11 $49

A weekly night is about 4.3 nights a month, so $49 works out near $11 a night — less than one table's tab.

Questions

Before you sign up

Do I need to hire a trivia host?
No. The AI host reads every question, calls every number, works the room between rounds and announces the winner. Someone on shift presses start — and even that can run off a schedule, so the TV is ready before the first team sits down.
Do players need to download an app?
No. Guests scan the code on the TV and play in their phone's browser. Nothing to install, no account to create, no wall between a customer and their first question.
What equipment do I need?
A TV that can open a web page, and sound the room can hear. A smart TV browser, a cheap streaming stick, or a laptop on HDMI all work. No tablets to buy, no proprietary boxes, no hardware deposit.
Is there a contract?
No. Month to month, cancel any time, no setup fee and no minimum term. Worth knowing: some hosted-trivia companies require a multi-month commitment and won't run a trial night at all.
How much does bar trivia cost with a human host?
In the US a hosted night typically runs a venue about $150 to $200, or roughly $600 to $800 a month for a weekly game. Rates climb for large venues and busy metros. Most companies quote privately rather than publishing a price.
What happens after the free month?
Every game at every venue gets its own 30 days. We ask for a payment method before the trial ends and send reminders as the date approaches. If you do nothing the game pauses rather than charging you — and pausing never interrupts a night already in progress.
Can I run both trivia and bingo?
Yes, and the second one is $10 off — $68 a month for both at one venue. They share a dashboard, a login, an email list and a leaderboard, so a regular who wins at bingo on Thursday shows up on the same board as Tuesday's quiz champions.
I own more than one bar.
Pricing is per venue, and multi-venue groups get a volume discount — the more venues you run, the lower the per-venue rate. Get in touch and we'll quote it.
