Mentimeter has more slide types, themes and integrations; if you need those, its paid plans are good value. If you need polls that work for a room of 300, PollKit is free.
FAQ
Is PollKit really free?
Yes. There is no paid plan; optional tips keep it running.
Can I import Mentimeter presentations?
Not yet. Most decks take a couple of minutes to rebuild, and templates help.
Do participants need an account?
No. They open the link or scan the QR code and vote.
