EngageTime review
A focused event engagement tool with lead capture, polling, Q&A, and analytics.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
EngageTime is an audience engagement platform for speakers, event organizers, trainers, and conference teams. It combines live polling, anonymous Q&A with upvoting, emoji reactions, session feedback, resource sharing, lead capture, analytics, and event scheduling. Attendees join through a browser with a QR code or short link, without installing an app. The platform is available on the web and through an API, with cloud and desktop deployment options.
The published plans cover individual sessions, meetups, and larger events. Freemium costs €0 per month and includes reactions and polls, a timeline overview, feedback collection, and resource sharing. Plus costs €9 per month and adds post-session attendee access, lead generation, co-speaker support, and API access. Premium is €39 per month and includes speaker analytics and all features from Speaker Plus. Meetup Starter is €19 per month, while Meetup Plus is €49 per month; both list session moderation and CSV exports. Event Starter costs €1,000 per event, Event Plus costs €1,499 per event, and Event Premium costs €2,499 per event. Higher event tiers add multi-track scheduling, branding options, multi-day events, and advanced analytics.
EngageTime fits teams that want audience participation and lead capture in one focused product, particularly when PowerPoint presentation support matters. Its PowerPoint live-poll add-in can display results during presentations, while Sessionize and CSV imports support schedule setup. The product also includes a quiz mode, anonymous responses, slide integrations, and resource sharing. However, its named integrations are concentrated around PowerPoint and Sessionize, so organizations seeking a wider ecosystem may prefer an alternative. Choose EngageTime for talks, meetups, training sessions, and events that need polling, Q&A, feedback, and attendee follow-up; choose another platform when extensive integrations or deeper feature breadth are the priority.
