Mentimeter alternative for classrooms & events
Mentimeter is great for presentations and charges per presenter. PollsLive delivers live polls, async pages, and gamification with a monthly-cancellable Pro plan and a free tier that renews every month.
Een eenmalig evenement organiseren in plaats van elke week presenteren? Zie het Mentimeter-alternatief voor eenmalige evenementen
Async mode, same poll
The same poll runs live in the room or asynchronously over days, from one editor: no rebuild, and the async version keeps collecting after the room empties.
A free tier that renews every month
3 polls · 500 responses each · 50 live participants · 3 sessions/mo. Ours is small on purpose and comes back every month. Pro holds 100 people live.
SEO + live in one product
Permanent poll URLs index on Google while you run live sessions from the same editor.
PollsLive op het presentatiescherm, midden in een sessie: de resultaten komen live binnen terwijl de zaal op de telefoon antwoordt.
Mentimeter-class live engagement
Multiple choice, quizzes, word clouds, scales, ranking, and moderated Q&A. Your audience joins with a PIN or QR from any device. Presenter-paced or audience-paced decks.
Fair pricing for teams
Teachers, facilitators and event teams still pay per presenter, but Pro is monthly-cancellable, against Mentimeter's annual-only seat. Voters are never charged.
Built-in sharing
Share to WhatsApp, Telegram, and social with one tap, or give a poll a short custom link people can remember.
Try it before you sign up
Mentimeter wants a login before you can try anything. PollsLive has a live demo you can run with no account; a free sign-in comes when you build your own poll, and your audience never needs one.
