1. Activity types

Mentimeter covers the core interaction types well. AhaSlides goes broader — it’s a single platform for every engagement format you’d need across presentations, training, and events. AhaSlides

• Quiz — multiple types: categories, correct order, match pairs, type answer
• Poll — multiple choice, image poll, rating scale
• Word cloud
• Open-ended / brainstorm
• Q&A with moderation
• Survey
• Spinner wheel
• Per-student grade and response reports

Mentimeter

• Quiz — single correct answer, exact-match grading only
• Poll — multiple choice, ranking, rating
• Word cloud
• Open-ended
• Q&A
• No Spinner Wheel
• No built-in survey flow
• No per-student grade reports

Two gaps G2 reviewers flag consistently: Mentimeter doesn’t support multiple correct answers in quizzes, and exact-match grading penalises students for a typo or rounding difference.

“It would be better if there were more features designed to encourage conversations either before or after using the app. The quiz functionality feels limited.” — Dr. Emily C., Lecturer, Higher Education (G2 review of Mentimeter)

2. AI and integrations

Both platforms have AI. The difference is depth. Mentimeter’s Menti AI generates slides and question suggestions — available on all plans including free. AhaSlides adds a ChatGPT add-in for importing questions directly, MCP support for workflow automation, and Google Slides access without needing a higher-tier plan.

“The ChatGPT integration significantly reduces the time needed to create questions for polls and quizzes — a big advantage over tools like Menti and Kahoot.” — Rajesh B., Enterprise Academy Lead (G2 review of AhaSlides)

3. Free plan

Both free plans cap sessions at 50 participants. The difference is how the cap works. Mentimeter counts participants across the entire month — 50 total. A teacher running two classes of 30 students hits the limit after the first session. AhaSlides resets the count every session, with unlimited sessions per month — see what’s included in the free account.

5. Verdict

Mentimeter is a well-built tool that does the basics reliably. But if you want a single platform that covers quizzes, polls, surveys, word clouds, Spinner Wheels, Q&A, brainstorms, and grade reports — with ChatGPT integration, MCP support, monthly billing, and significantly lower pricing — AhaSlides is the stronger choice.
