Why presenters switch from Poll Everywhere
Three things people tell us made the difference.
No tiny free response cap
Poll Everywhere's free plan stops collecting after a small number of responses. Slidea's free plan never caps your audience, so a full lecture or workshop can take part.
Slides included, not separate
Poll Everywhere is an overlay on slides you build elsewhere. Slidea is the editor too — design slides with shapes, icons and animations, then add polls between them.
Cheaper, simpler plans
Poll Everywhere's paid plans start at $10/month and climb steeply for teams. Slidea Pro is a flat $5/month including AI generation and team co-editing.
In fairness: Poll Everywhere is well established in lecture halls and integrates with PowerPoint, Keynote and Google Slides. 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.
