How we grade them
| 1.8GPAClassPointWeak | 2.0GPAMentimeterFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPro is $8 a month billed annually ($96), a little above the $7.95 cheaper-quarter mark for presentation tools. | DBasic is €14 a presenter a month billed yearly, and the dearest tenth of this category starts at $14.99, so that's where it sits. Your own branding, a shared workspace and co-editing need Pro at €28, nearly three times the $9.99 middle, and Pro is yearly billing only. |
| Free plan and trial | CBasic is free for 25 students a class, 3 classes, 5 activity types and 5 activities per presentation, which a teacher will hit. | CFree with no time limit, with Menti AI and 23 slide types, but capped at 50 participants a month plus one session a month with no limit. Two classes of 30 and you're past it. |
| Features | DIt is an add-in that needs PowerPoint to be useful: quizzes, gamification, AI quiz maker and reports, but it builds no slides itself. | CLive polls, word clouds, Q&A, surveys and quizzes that add up to one winner, with an AI that drafts the whole thing, and it covers that audience job completely. It's a smaller job than building decks, though, and importing your PowerPoint or Keynote slides needs Basic. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. You install an add-in and connect classes before use. | CNo App Store rating on record, and you still write every question and build the deck before the session. The audience joins with a link or a code and needs no account. |
| Platforms and integrations | CA Windows PowerPoint add-in plus a web page for participants. No Mac or phone app is listed. | BA web app with nothing of its own to install. It connects to PowerPoint, Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Slides, plus Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle and Brightspace with optional gradebook sync. |
| Best for | quizzes and polls inside PowerPoint | getting a whole room to answer live |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
