Is JeopardyLabs free?

Yes. Building and playing is free, with no ads and no signup. A $20 lifetime membership adds images, video and audio embeds, math equations, and private games.

Does JeopardyLabs have buzzers?

Not built in. Its maker offers a separate free buzzer app called Buzzonk. In Plonkus, players join with a room code and buzz in from their phones, inside the same game.

Does JeopardyLabs have Daily Doubles and Final Jeopardy?

Not as features. Its FAQ suggests typing "Daily Double" into a clue, and adding an extra column for the final question with wagers written on cards. Plonkus has both built in, wagers included.

Plonkus vs JeopardyLabs

Both make Jeopardy boards. One of them also runs the game.

JeopardyLabs calls itself "a Q/A board with a scoreboard attached", and it's a good one. Plonkus is the whole game: phone buzzers, Daily Doubles, Final Jeopardy with wagers, and scoring that keeps up. Both are free to build and play, with no ads and no signup.
