Alternative to Mentimeter

A Mentimeter alternative for live polls, quizzes and picking dates

Let the room join with a PIN or QR code, up to 1,000 participants per session on every plan. In the same account you also make surveys and a date poll.

Mentimeter is a well-known choice for live questions during presentations and lessons. Peiley does live polls and quizzes too, on every plan, and has surveys and a date poll in the same account. Mentimeter has more kinds of slides and questions. Mentimeter's prices and features are indicative and were checked in October 2026 on mentimeter.com.

Why Peiley often beats Mentimeter

  • Live polls and quizzes on every plan, up to 1,000 participants per session
  • Surveys, a date poll and live polling in one account
  • You pay per account, not per presenter. You don't need a paid plan for live polling
  • After the session, a review with personal invitations and a reminder, in the same account
  • Dutch interface, support by email and payment with iDEAL or credit card

Where Mentimeter (honestly) does better

  • Mentimeter has many more kinds of slides and questions, such as ranking, 100 points, a 2x2 grid and guess the number
  • Mentimeter has a Q&A where the audience asks its own questions. Peiley doesn't
  • Mentimeter works inside PowerPoint and can import presentations from PowerPoint and Google Slides (from Basic). With Peiley you present from the browser
  • Mentimeter is better known among speakers and at conferences

Can I move my Mentimeter presentations over?

Does Peiley work inside PowerPoint?
