Slido alternatives are the other live polling and Q&A tools event organisers consider instead of Slido. This guide compares seven for conferences, using each vendor's own pages.

FAQs

Slido Alternatives FAQ

What is the best Slido alternative for conferences?

It depends on your event. If polls and Q&A should sit in the event app beside the agenda and check-in, see Eventify live polls and Q&A. For a standalone tool, compare the entries above with your audience size and budget.

Is there a free Slido alternative?

Most tools above publish a free plan with limits, for example Slido Basic (US$0, up to 100 participants), Mentimeter Free (€0, 50 participants per month) and Poll Everywhere Intro (free, 40 max audience size). Eventify has no free plan; plans start at US$999 per event, with a free trial after a demo.

Which Slido alternatives let attendees join without an app?

Eventify attendees join with a code or the session QR. Every other tool above describes a no-app join on its own pages; the comparison table quotes each one.

Can I run Q&A in every session of a multi-track conference?

In Eventify, yes: each session has its own polls, Q&A queue and Live Display URL. Slido's Professional one-time plan lists “Multiple rooms” and Pigeonhole Live's Standard plan “Premium multiple-Q&A event format with multi-track support”.

How much does a Slido alternative cost for one conference?

As published on 10 November 2026: Eventify from US$999 per event, for the whole event platform; Slido one-time plans are US$80, US$250 or US$700 per event, excl. VAT; Vevox $195.00 or $675 for 7 days; Mentimeter €350 or €750 per conference, one month, excl. tax; Pigeonhole Live Standard $150 USD per month, $1,800 per year; Poll Everywhere's events page: “Contact Sales”. Prices change; check each vendor.

Do any Slido alternatives have an MCP server?

Yes. The Eventify AI Agent has more than 200 tools (Ultimate, Beta Preview). Mentimeter and AhaSlides publish MCP servers without a tool count. Slido, Pigeonhole Live, Poll Everywhere, Vevox and Wooclap: no MCP server listed on their public pages as of 10 November 2026.

Can a moderator control the big screen from a phone?

In Eventify, yes, from their own phone through an admin link; Remote Poll Control is on Advance and Ultimate (pricing). Slido says “Slido admins can moderate questions and run polls using their smartphones or tablets.” Mentimeter's Pro plan lists “Use your phone to control the Menti you're presenting. Flip through slides, check live results and moderate Q&As”.
