Pub Trivia Companies in Australia
There are three ways to buy pub trivia in Australia: a company that sends a live host, trivia software your staff run, or a weekly pack your own team hosts. Here is what 8 of them give a pub or club, and what each publishes on price.
Three Ways to Run Pub Trivia
The real choice is not which company. It is who hosts the night, and what that costs you every week.
Live Host
Their host runs the night
A per-night fee. None of the Australian companies here publishes it.
Best for: Venues that want someone else on the mic every week and have the budget for it.
Trivia Software
Your staff host, players join on their phones
A monthly subscription.
Best for: Venues that want an app to run scoring and several game formats on the TV.
Trivia Pack
Your own team hosts it
Per pack or a weekly subscription. No host fee.
Best for: Pubs and clubs with a confident manager, staff member or regular who can run the room.

On-Tap Trivia, Honestly
We sell packs, so we are one of the options on this page. Here is where we sit.
On-Tap Trivia costs a little more than TriviaHead, at A$49 a week with no GST added, and there is no host fee to pay on top. The difference is that each pack is a complete night, not a list of questions: a PowerPoint of five rounds of ten questions with Bonus Baffler clues, a Host Q & A Sheet, printable Answer Booklets, a marketing poster and a Bonus Game, delivered as PowerPoint and PDFs every Monday.
Your own team hosts it from the Host Q & A Sheet, so there is no host fee, and the regulars you build come back for your venue. There is no lock-in contract. If you would rather have someone else on the mic every week, a hosted company is the better fit, and that is fine.
How to Choose
Four questions that settle it for most venues.
Who will be on the mic?
If nobody on your team wants to host, a live-host company is the simple answer. If someone does, a pack saves the host fee every single week.
What can you spend each week?
Add up a year of host fees before you sign. A weekly pack costs a fraction of a hosted night, and the drinks a full room orders do not change with who wrote the questions.
Do you want your own night or their league?
Hosted companies run the night under their brand. A pack makes it your venue's night, with your name on the poster and regulars who come for your room.
Can you commit to a minimum term?
Ask every company about the term before you sign, since hosted companies do not publish theirs. Look for a way to try a full night first.
Pub Trivia Companies FAQ
There are three kinds. Hosted companies such as Quiz Meisters, Funky Bunch and Time For Trivia send their own host to run the night at your pub or club. Software such as Quizado runs games on your TV that players join on their phones, with your staff hosting. Pack sellers such as On-Tap Trivia and TriviaHead send you the questions and slides, and your own team hosts the night.
None of the hosted Australian companies on this page publishes its venue price. You ask each one for a quote. Packs cost less because there is no host fee. TriviaHead lists $29.95 to $34.95 a week plus GST. On-Tap Trivia is A$49 a week, or A$69 for a single pack, with no GST added.
Prices here are from each company's own website as of November 2026 and can change.
A hosted company suits a venue that wants someone else on the mic every week and has the budget for a per-night fee. A pack suits a venue with a confident manager, staff member or regular who can host, and that would rather keep the host fee. Your own host also builds the relationship with the teams, which is a big part of why people come back.
No, but you do need someone to host. A manager, owner, bar staff member or outgoing regular can run a great night. With On-Tap Trivia they work from the Host Q & A Sheet, which has every question and answer, extra information to share and helpful hints, so they walk in prepared.
Writing your own questions costs nothing but takes hours every week. Packs are the next cheapest. TriviaHead's weekly packages are $29.95 to $34.95 plus GST. On-Tap Trivia costs a little more, at A$49 a week with no GST added, because each pack is a complete night: slides, a Host Q & A Sheet, Answer Booklets, a poster and a Bonus Game. Both avoid a host fee.
