Mentimeter review
A strong choice for live polls and Q&A, but not a complete general-purpose slide editor.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Mentimeter is a web-based presentation and audience-engagement platform for businesses, educators, trainers, and meeting facilitators. It combines slides with live polls, quizzes, word clouds, surveys, Q&A, anonymous feedback, and other question types. Participants respond from their devices while presenters view results in real time. It runs on the web, Windows, and macOS, and is best suited to presenters who need audience participation to be central to a session rather than an occasional add-on.
Pricing is structured around a free plan and paid presenter tiers. Free includes 50 participants per month, AI presentation creation, and polls, word clouds, quizzes, and other question types. Basic costs $9.99 per presenter per month when billed annually and adds unlimited participants, PowerPoint, Keynote, and PDF import, plus Excel and PDF result exports. Pro costs $24.99 per presenter per month when billed annually and adds workspace collaboration, co-editing, co-presenting, and presenter controls through a phone. Enterprise adds single sign-on, SCIM license and role management, tailored onboarding, and workspace insights. The plan structure makes Free useful for limited participation, while Basic is the practical step up for larger sessions and file-based workflows.
Its strongest category fit is live interaction combined with an established presentation workflow. PowerPoint integration includes an add-in and embedding, while integrations include Google Slides, Miro, Moodle, and Canvas. AI assistance supports presentation creation and response analysis, and eligible paid users can edit collaboratively. The trade-off is focus: Mentimeter is designed to make presentations interactive, not to replace a full slide-authoring environment. It should suit educators, trainers, facilitators, and business presenters who value responses, moderation, and feedback. Choose another tool if advanced general slide editing, offline access, or PPTX deck export is essential.
