QuizBase vs Roll your own (DIY)
Rolling your own from the OpenTDB dump means 5,296 English questions plus 40-80 hours of engineering for an API, SDK, MCP server, OpenAPI spec, IETF rate-limiting, RFC 9457 errors, status page, monitoring, and ongoing maintenance — and you still need to translate, calibrate difficulty, and curate taxonomy yourself. QuizBase ships all of that today — over a million questions, EN + PL at parity, 5-level calibrated difficulty grading, multi-layer taxonomy, MCP server with OAuth — on a Free tier that works in production from day one.
