7 best Slido alternatives in 2026

Whether you're running a developer conference, a workshop, or an all-hands, the goal is the same: turn a quiet room into a conversation. The tools below all do that; they just make different trade-offs on price, reactions, and how much they lean on your slides.

We build EVOCA, so we've listed it first, but we've kept the descriptions honest, including where other tools are the better call.

1. 1

   EVOCA

   Best for: Developer conferences, meetups, and hackathons

   EVOCA covers live Q&A, polls, and real-time emoji reactions with a setup that takes minutes and no app for attendees. It's free up to 100 attendees, then €49 once for a single event or €29/month for unlimited events. The speaker-facing engagement view and reactions are what set it apart from Slido.

2. 2

   Mentimeter

   Best for: Polished, visual poll presentations

   Mentimeter is strong on beautifully designed polls and word clouds built directly into a presentation flow. It's a great fit for workshops and classrooms, though its free tier limits the number of questions per presentation.

3. 3

   AhaSlides

   Best for: Budget-conscious interactive slides

   AhaSlides offers quizzes, polls, and Q&A at accessible price points, and is popular in education. Free plans cap the number of participants, so check the current limit against your expected audience.

4. 4

   Vevox

   Best for: Anonymous Q&A and surveys in regulated settings

   Vevox focuses on polling and anonymous Q&A with an emphasis on data and enterprise controls. It's well suited to internal town halls where anonymity and reporting matter more than visual flair.

5. 5

   Poll Everywhere

   Best for: Large enterprise and university deployments

   Poll Everywhere integrates with PowerPoint, Keynote, and Google Slides and scales to large organizations. Pricing steps up with audience size, so it's most cost-effective when bought organization-wide.

6. 6

   Kahoot!

   Best for: Gamified quizzes and energizers

   Kahoot! turns questions into a fast, competitive game with music and leaderboards. It's excellent for energizing a room, but it's built around quizzes rather than open Q&A or ongoing engagement.

7. 7

   Wooclap

   Best for: Education and blended learning

   Wooclap blends quizzes, polls, and Q&A with a focus on teaching, including LMS integrations. It's a solid classroom tool, though some engagement features sit behind paid tiers.
