Why presenters switch from Slido
Three things people tell us made the difference.
More than three polls on free
Slido's free plan caps you at 3 polls and 1 quiz per event. Slidea's free plan gives you 3 full decks and 3 polls — each poll with as many questions as you like — to an unlimited audience.
One tool instead of an add-in
Slido lives inside PowerPoint or Webex. Slidea is a self-contained presentation studio: build the slides, drop in polls and word clouds, and present from the browser or your phone.
Monthly pricing that starts at $5
Slido's standard plans bill annually from $150/year. Slidea Pro is $5/month with no annual lock-in, and includes AI deck generation and team co-editing.
In fairness: Slido is strong for corporate Q&A and town halls, especially inside Webex and PowerPoint. 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.

No. Slidea runs entirely in the browser. You can import a PowerPoint or PDF, but you don't need any other app to build or present.
What does Slidea cost versus Slido?
