Mentimeter: pricing and advantages

Different plans

In order to make the platform as accessible as possible, Mentimeter offers a free plan. This is, however, limited to 50 participants per month, a limit that can be easily be exceeded in a month. The free plan allows you to use a variety of contents for your presentation, including polls, quizzes, and slides.

For those who are not satisfied with the features of the free plan, there is a Basic plan for €11.99 per month, which will remove the participant limit. It will also allow you to import presentation slides and export the results of your audience engagement to Excel.

The Pro plan costs €24.99 per month, and will allow you to add in your own logos and templates, in addition to allowing your colleagues to collaborate on your presentations too.

Finally, there is an Enterprise plan, which is tailored and has variable pricing depending on business needs. It includes all the features of the Pro plan, in addition to benefits that make it better suited to larger businesses, such single sign-ons (SSO, SCIM) for sophisticated user account management.

Overall, Mentimeter is a versatile option with plans in a reasonable price range. However, if you are looking for a more affordable solution, including a free plan that offers many great audience engagement and interactive online features, Wooclap may be for you!
