## 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.

| Integration     | AhaSlides   | Mentimeter  |
| --------------- | ----------- | ----------- |
| AI builder      | ✓ All plans | ✓ All plans |
| ChatGPT add-in  | ✓           | ✗           |
| MCP integration | ✓           | ✗           |
| Google Slides   | ✓ All plans | Pro+ only   |
| PowerPoint      | ✓           | ✓           |
| Zoom            | ✓           | ✓           |
| Microsoft Teams | ✓           | ✓           |
| Canvas          | ✓           | ✓           |
| Blackboard      | ✓           | ✓           |

> "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.

| Feature            | AhaSlides                | Mentimeter              |
| ------------------ | ------------------------ | ----------------------- |
| Participant limit  | 50 per session           | 50 per month total      |
| Sessions per month | Unlimited                | Capped by monthly limit |
| AI features        | Included                 | Menti AI included       |
| Quiz slides        | Up to 5 per presentation | Limited                 |
| Response export    | —                        | Paid only               |

## 4. Pricing

AhaSlides is consistently cheaper — and unlike Mentimeter, monthly billing is available so you can try before committing to a year. Mentimeter pricing shown here is current as of June 2026 and may have changed by the time you read this.

| Upper tier      | $7.65/mo · $91.80/yr (200 participants) | —                                         |
| Monthly billing | ✓ Available                             | Annual only                               |

<Note>
  Mentimeter edu plans offer unlimited participants per session. AhaSlides edu plans scale by tier — up to 200 on Edu Large. For large lecture halls, AhaSlides Pro (2,500 participants) at $191.40/yr compares favourably to Mentimeter Pro Edu at $204/yr.

## 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.
