Why presenters switch from Mentimeter
Three things people tell us made the difference.
No 50-person monthly wall
Mentimeter's free plan locks you out for 30 days once 50 people respond in a month. Slidea's free plan never caps your audience — present to a room of 5 or 500.
Design the deck, not just the poll
Instead of rebuilding slides inside a polling tool, Slidea gives you a full Canva-style studio with shapes, icons, animations and PowerPoint & PDF import — with polls dropped in wherever you want them.
Flat, honest pricing
Mentimeter charges roughly $12–$15 per presenter each month. Slidea Pro is a flat $5/mo (or $50/year) and includes AI deck generation and team co-editing.
In fairness: Mentimeter is a polished, mature tool with a deep library of interactive slide types. 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.
