Mentimeter vs SlideLizard (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Mentimeter if

• Fits if you teach or present and want the room answering from their own phones
• Works for a single big event, since the Conference plans sell 30 days of access from €350

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if it's just you presenting: Basic is €14 a month billed yearly, or €17.99 paid monthly
• Tight if you're staying free and speak to more than 50 people a month, apart from one open session
• Not for you if you need your own branding, a shared workspace or co-editing without Pro at €28 a month, billed yearly only
• Skip it if you want to import PowerPoint or Keynote slides or export results for free, as both need Basic
• Watch out: prices are listed in euros and exclude tax

Pick SlideLizard if

• Fits if you present from PowerPoint on a Windows laptop and want live polls in it
• Works for companies that want the Enterprise Suite hosted on their own servers

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you use a Mac, as the Mac version is listed as not yet available
• Not for you if you present from Google Slides or Keynote, as it needs PowerPoint
• Skip it if you want a price on the page, as none is published
• Watch out: the page does not say what happens when the 30-day PRO trial ends

Mentimeter

• The Free plan is capped at 50 participants a month, apart from one session a month with unlimited participants.
• Importing slides and exporting results need Basic or higher, and custom branding, a shared workspace and co-editing need Pro.
• Pro is sold on yearly billing only; just the Basic plan can be paid monthly, at €17.99 against €14 a month billed yearly.
• Prices are listed in euros, as the plans page displayed them, and exclude tax.

SlideLizard

• No plan prices are published; the pricing page offers demos and quotes for LIZ AI and the Enterprise Suite.
• The presenter plugin installs on Windows 7-11 with PowerPoint 2016-2024 or Office 365; the Mac version is listed as not yet available.
• Attendees join in a web browser, but presenting needs the PowerPoint plugin, so it does not run in Google Slides or Keynote.
• A free 30-day PRO trial is advertised; what happens after it was not stated on the pages read.
