Slido is built for Cisco Webex enterprises. Quizotic is built for classrooms and trainings in India — a full quiz engine alongside Q&A and polls, on a participant page 4.1× lighter than Slido's.
Slido (acquired by Cisco in 2021) dominates enterprise Q&A in Webex-heavy organisations. But for most Indian trainers, college faculty, coaching institutes and event organisers who run on Zoom, Teams or Google Meet, the Webex integration adds nothing, and Slido's paid plans are billed yearly in USD. Slido's free plan seats 100 per slido, but the free Basic plan allows 3 polls per slido; Engage, the first paid plan, is $12.50/month, billed $150 yearly; no monthly option (checked 25 Sep 2026). Quizotic is the India-first alternative: free to run real sessions today, with Pro planned at $4.99/month and not yet on sale, then INR billing over UPI with a domestic GST invoice through Razorpay. Its participant page is 267 KB against Slido's 1,087 KB, measured 12 September 2026 — four times less for every phone to pull on classroom or office Wi-Fi. On top of the Q&A and polls that Slido covers, Quizotic adds a full quiz engine with leaderboard, speed bonus, AI generation from PDFs, Bloom tagging, and NCERT content for Indian schools — all in one tool.

Slido is owned by Cisco and has native Webex integration plus strong enterprise conference positioning. For large conferences with Webex as the primary platform, Slido's integration depth is real, and its free plan seats more people in one event — 100 per slido against Quizotic's 50 per session. For classrooms, workshops, trainings, and events outside the Cisco stack, Quizotic's broader feature set usually wins.
Yes. Audience Q&A with upvote sorting is on every plan, free included, so the room surfaces the best questions for the host to take. Pro raises the room to 500.
Yes. Attendees join with a PIN, submit Q&A and vote in polls from their phones. Afterwards, download the session report as a PDF, or as an Excel workbook on Pro.
Yes — and this is where Quizotic differentiates. Mix audience polls with competitive quiz moments ("Test your knowledge from the last talk") in the same session.
Yes — 50 participants per session with every interaction type unlocked (Q&A, polls, word clouds, quiz), and no credit card. Pro, planned at $4.99/month, not yet on sale, will raise the room to 500.
Yes. The host shares the Quizotic screen; participants open quizotic.live/join in their phone browser. No plugin needed. The 267 KB page loads quickly even on mobile data.
Not yet. There is nothing to pay today: Quizotic is free, and the planned Pro plan is not on sale yet. When it launches it will bill in INR with UPI and a domestic GST invoice in India, and in USD by card elsewhere.
Slido Engage is $12.50/month, billed $150 yearly; no monthly option (slido.com/pricing, checked 25 Sep 2026). Quizotic Pro is planned at $4.99/month, not yet on sale. If it launches at that price, a team of five hosts would pay about $245 a year on Quizotic against $750 on Slido.
