1. Engage Decks

Best for: presenters who want to build the whole talk and every audience activity in one place.

Engage Decks turns a one-way presentation into a conversation. The audience joins from their phone browser with a code or a QR code, with no app and no sign-up, and their votes, answers and questions appear on the big screen as they arrive.

What you can run

• Polls, single or multiple choice, with results that rise live.
• Quizzes with a live leaderboard: timed questions, points for speed, and team standings beside individual ones.
• Word clouds: one word from everyone, sized by how often it repeats.
• Audience Q&A: the room asks and upvotes, so the most wanted question rises.
• Idea wall and brainstorming, with voting on the ideas.
• Random picker and prize draw, and a teams board that fills as people join.

What sets it apart

• It builds the deck for you. Describe your talk in two lines and Engage builds the whole deck, with the interaction already placed. You review an outline first.
• Bring the slides you already have. Drop in a PowerPoint or a PDF, and add a poll or a quiz between any two slides. See how to make an interactive PowerPoint.
• Edit in a sentence with Engage AI.
• Arabic first. Right-to-left slides with proper Arabic type, and English with one button.

What the free plan includes

The free plan is not a trial and asks for no card. Every engagement slide is included, with nothing held back, and you can run live sessions every month. The exact monthly allowances are in the pricing section, and more detail is on the free plan page.

Choose Engage Decks if you want one tool for the presentation and all the activities in it, especially for workshops, training, classes and team meetings, or if your audience speaks Arabic.

2. QuestionPro LivePolls

Best for: live polls, quizzes, trivia and feedback during meetings or presentations.

QuestionPro LivePolls is an audience-response tool. People answer in the browser, and results show as live charts.

• Live polls and quizzes, with real-time charts
• Trivia and leaderboards
• Open-ended feedback
• Integrations listed by the provider, such as Google Slides and Zoom

Choose it if collecting responses and running quizzes matters more than designing the presentation itself.

3. AhaSlides

Best for: presentations with polls and quizzes mixed into the slides.

AhaSlides combines slides with interactive activities, for educators, trainers and teams.

• Interactive slides with polls and quizzes
• Audience activities for education and business

Its free plan limits how many people can join and how many interactive questions a presentation can have, so check it against a long quiz or several rounds of polling.

Choose it if you want a presentation tool with quizzes and polls and your sessions fit its free limits.

4. Wooclap

Best for: teachers, trainers and learning teams.

Wooclap focuses on active learning: many question types to check understanding, gather ideas and get learners to contribute.

• Many question types, quizzes and word clouds
• Learning-focused integrations
• Reports on the plans that include them

Choose it if you want to know whether people understood, not only what they think.

5. Slido

Best for: meetings, conferences, town halls and audience Q&A.

Slido gives the audience a simple way to submit questions and vote on the ones they want answered, alongside polls and quizzes.

Choose it if managing questions matters more than building the whole presentation in the tool. For a side-by-side look, see our Slido alternative page.

6. Vevox

Best for: live polling, Q&A and quizzes in education and business.

Vevox offers audience response for classrooms, presentations, staff meetings and training, with PowerPoint and Microsoft Teams integrations. More question types and reporting come with higher plans.

Choose it if you want a straightforward polling tool for recurring meetings or classes.

7. Genially

Best for: visually rich presentations, interactive learning content and gamified experiences.

Genially goes beyond live polling: you create interactive presentations and learning materials that people can click through, live or at their own pace. It can be more than you need for a quick poll in a meeting.

Choose it if the visual experience is a big part of what you present.

How to choose a free Mentimeter alternative

Use the table as a starting point, not a ranking. The best tool is the one that fits how you actually run sessions.

1. Check the participant limit. Not only whether it is free: how many people can join one session, and whether the limit is per session or per month.
2. Count the questions and activities. Some free plans cap the interactive questions in one presentation, which hurts if you run several polls and quizzes.
3. Decide if you need a full presentation tool. A few quick responses only need a polling tool. A whole talk with many activities is easier in a presentation-first tool.
4. Check reports and integrations. Teachers may need answers per person; teams may need exports or PowerPoint, Google Slides and video-call tools.
5. Test the participant side. Join from your own phone: do people need an app or an account, how fast do results appear, does it work well on mobile?
