Watu Quiz

77 Quality Score

Active Installs

16/30

With only 3,000 active installs, it is a small player compared to alternatives like Quiz Maker at 20,000 installs, but it earns an above-average popularity score for its niche.

Update Freshness

25/25

The plugin was updated on 2026-05-28, is tested with WordPress 7.0, and requires PHP 8.0, which is an unusually forward-looking compatibility profile that earns a perfect maintenance score.

User Rating

14/15

A 94 out of 100 rating from 136 reviewers signals strong user satisfaction from the people who have tried it.

Support Health

8/15

There is only one resolved support thread in the record, giving a support health score of 50 out of 15 weight, which means there is simply not enough data to judge responsiveness.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Requiring WordPress 6.0 and PHP 8.0 and being tested with WordPress 7.0 earns a perfect compatibility score, though this also means older PHP 7.4 sites cannot use it.

What It Does

Watu Quiz lets WordPress site owners build exams, surveys, and quizzes with unlimited questions and answers, all rendered in a mobile and touch friendly layout. It covers the core quiz workflow including creation, delivery, and grading without needing a third-party service.

Who It's For

This plugin is a good fit for educators, training coordinators, and certification providers who need to run tests, knowledge checks, or surveys directly on a WordPress site and want straightforward quiz logic without a full LMS. Smaller schools, corporate trainers, and market researchers with modest traffic will find it especially practical.

Who Should Skip It

If you need course progress tracking, drip content, learner dashboards, or certificates tied to a curriculum, look at a real LMS like LearnPress or Tutor LMS instead, because Watu Quiz is a quiz engine rather than a learning platform. Sites expecting heavy traffic or needing deep analytics and conditional logic may also find it too lightweight.

The Bottom Line

Watu Quiz is a focused, well maintained quiz and survey tool that does one job reasonably well and is rated highly by its users, but its small install base and thin support footprint mean you are betting on a niche product. With an overall quality score of 77.17 out of 100, it is a solid pick for straightforward quiz needs but loses to Quiz Maker or a full LMS if you need more breadth or community proof.
