Why presenters switch from AhaSlides
Three things people tell us made the difference.
Unlimited free audience
AhaSlides caps its free plan at 50 audience members. Slidea's free plan has no audience cap at all, so workshops and lectures of any size can join.
A real design studio
Slidea's editor handles shapes, icons, animations, image cropping and PowerPoint/PDF import — a full design surface alongside the live polls and quizzes.
Presenter spotlight
Mid-talk, drag a finger across the slide preview on your phone and a spotlight follows on the big screen, dimming everything else. It's on every Slidea plan, including free.
In fairness: AhaSlides is fun and affordable, with gamified quizzes, leaderboards and spinner wheels. If that's exactly what you need, it's a solid choice — Slidea wins when you want the slides and the polls in one tool, without an audience cap.

Both run interactive polls and quizzes, but Slidea adds a full slide-design studio, a phone-driven presenter spotlight, and an unlimited free audience versus AhaSlides' 50-person free cap.
Is Slidea cheaper than AhaSlides?
Slidea Pro is $5/month or $50/year. AhaSlides paid plans start around $7.95/month, so Slidea is both cheaper and removes the free audience cap.
