How we grade them
| 3.0GPAMentimeterVery good | 3.2GPAPreziVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CBasic is €14 a presenter a month, billed yearly. The middle of this category starts at about $10, so that's on the dear side. And your own branding, a shared workspace and co-editing all wait on Pro at €28. | BStandard is $7 a month billed annually, the cheap end of this category. But it mostly buys privacy settings and unlimited projects. PDF export, unlimited AI, the desktop app and offline access all start at Plus, $19 a month. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree for good, with Menti AI and 23 slide types. But it's capped at 50 participants a month, plus one session a month with no cap. Two classes of 30 and you're past it. | BBasic is free, with the full online editor and 500 AI credits a month. The catch is that presentations are public by default. Storage is limited too, and there's no PDF export. |
| Features | ALive polls, word clouds, Q&A, surveys and quizzes that add up to one final winner, plus an AI that drafts the whole thing. It's built around the audience and does that part fully. Importing PowerPoint, Keynote or PDF slides needs Basic. | AAI drafts from a prompt or an uploaded PowerPoint, PDF or Word file, the zoomable canvas, live polls, quizzes, Q&A and word clouds, and a link afterwards with a narrated video, transcript and flashcards. Prezi Video puts you on screen beside your content. |
| Ease of use | BThere's no App Store rating on record for it, so a B is as high as we go. It runs in a browser, and your audience joins with a link or a code without making an account. | BThere's no App Store rating on record for it, so a B is as high as we go.

- Results and feedback
- Quiz and poll results appear question by question, alongside audience questions ranked by upvotes and an end-of-session digest of ratings and comments.
