The Mentimeter reality check

It definitely has a sleek interface, but here's what's missing:

An icon depicting icebreaking activities

Limited quiz variety

Only two quiz types, not optimized for training or education

A magnifying glass browsing through the text

No participant reports

Can't track attendance or individual progress

A leaderboard

Corporate aesthetic

Too stiff and formal for casual or educational use

And, more important

Mentimeter users pay $156–$324/year for subscriptions or $350 for one-time events. That's 26-85% more than AhaSlides, plan to plan.

Professionals are switching to AhaSlides

Game changer - more involvement than ever! Ahaslides provides my students a safe place to show their understanding and convey their thoughts. They find the countdowns fun and love the competitive nature of it. It sums it up in a nice, easy to interpret report, so I know what areas need to be worked ob more. I highly recommend!

I have used AhaSlides for four separate presentation  (two integrated into PPT and two from the website) and have been thrilled, as have my audiences. The ability to add interactive polling (set to music and with accompanying GIFs) and anonymous Q&A throughout the presentation has really enhanced my presentations.

As a professional educator, I've woven AhaSlides into the fabric of my workshops. It's my go-to for sparking engagement and injecting a dose of fun into learning. The platform's reliability is impressive—not a single hiccup in years of use. It's like a trusty sidekick, always ready when I need it.
