Mentimeter Pricing (2026): Every Plan, the 50-a-Month Free Cap, and a Free Alternative

Mentimeter plans and prices (2026)

Free — $0. 50 participants a month, plus one session a month that may go over. Includes Menti AI, word clouds, polls, quizzes and Q&A; no slide import and no result export. Basic — $11.99 per presenter a month on the US price list, €14 on the list shown in India, billed yearly. Unlimited participants, slide import from PowerPoint, Keynote or PDF, and result export to Excel or PDF. Pro — $24.99 or €28 per presenter a month, billed yearly. Adds custom themes and branding, workspace collaboration, participant names, moderated Q&A, and slides embedded from PowerPoint Web, Google Slides and Miro. Enterprise — custom price. Adds single sign-on and SCIM, participant verification, LMS integration (Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, D2L Brightspace) and priority support. Paid prices exclude tax. Mentimeter shows a different price list by region; the two above are what a US visitor and a visitor in India saw on 25 September 2026, and this page does not convert one into the other.

Mentimeter education pricing

Mentimeter's plans for teachers and students (mentimeter.com/plans/education) cost less: Basic is $8.99 and Pro $14.99 per presenter a month, billed yearly and excluding tax, with Enterprise priced on request. The free plan is the same one everyone gets — 50 participants a month, plus one session that may go over — so the education discount only helps once you pay.

How the free plan's 50-participant cap actually works

Mentimeter counts participants per month, not per presentation. Everyone who responds to any of your presentations comes out of one monthly pool of 50, which resets on the day of the month you signed up. Mentimeter never cuts off a presentation that is running: if you pass 50 in the middle of a session, it carries on, and you get an 8-hour grace period to finish. After that, you cannot set another presentation live until the reset, unless you upgrade. That is what the plan means by "unlimited participants once per month" — one session a month can go over the cap. Take a teacher with five classes of 30, or 150 people a week. The first class uses 30 of the 50. The second takes the total past 50, and Mentimeter lets it finish. From then until the reset date, no presentation can go live — so the free plan covers two class periods out of roughly twenty in the month. Mentimeter's page does not say whether one student in two presentations counts once or twice; the result is the same either way, because 150 different people is three times the pool. A trainer who runs one 40-person workshop a month, on the other hand, fits the free plan comfortably.

Yearly billing: what it means for your budget

Mentimeter quotes a monthly price, but you pay for the year: one Basic licence is $143.88 a year on the US list (12 × $11.99) or €168 on the India list, and one Pro licence is $299.88 or €336, before tax. Pro and Enterprise cannot be paid month to month. For Basic, it depends on the page you see: on 25 September 2026 the plans page shown to a visitor in India answered "Can I pay for one month?" with no — yearly subscriptions only — while the US version of the same page says Basic is available for monthly billing. For a single event, Mentimeter sells a conference package instead. If you change your mind, it refunds a purchase cancelled within 14 days, provided you have not yet used Mentimeter at a live event. It takes credit and debit cards and PayPal, and offers invoices payable by bank transfer for Pro.

When Mentimeter is worth paying for

If you present to large rooms every week and care about how your slides look, Basic is good value: unlimited participants, slide import and Excel export for $11.99 a month on the US list, billed yearly. Pro earns its price for teams that share templates and branding, or need moderated Q&A in front of senior audiences. And if your organisation has already standardised on Mentimeter, the switching cost is real — your presentations, templates and colleagues are there. Mentimeter is the more mature presentation tool; Quizotic's strengths are scored quizzes and a free plan that resets every session, not slide design.

Free Mentimeter alternatives compared

Checked on each vendor's pricing page on 25 September 2026. Quizotic — 50 per session, unlimited sessions. Polls, word clouds, open-ended questions, rating, ranking and Q&A, plus scored quizzes with a leaderboard, in the same session; 10 AI-generated questions a month on the free plan (20 in the first week); 10 saved quizzes and 3 saved presentations of up to 20 slides each. Slido — 100 per slido; the free Basic plan allows 3 polls per slido, with basic Q&A. The strongest free option for audience questions at a one-off event. AhaSlides — 50 per presentation, with up to 5 quiz questions and 3 poll questions per presentation, and unlimited presentations a month. The deciding question is how often you present: if it is every week, a per-session cap (Quizotic) or a per-event cap (Slido, AhaSlides) outlasts a monthly one.

Switching from Mentimeter to Quizotic

There is no importer for Mentimeter files, so you rebuild the questions by copying the text across. Quizotic's free plan keeps 3 presentations of up to 20 slides each and 10 quizzes, which covers a trainer or teacher who reuses the same session every week; a large library of decks needs Pro, which is planned at $4.99/month, not yet on sale. The steps are below.

Step-by-step

1. 1

   Sign up free

   Create an account at quizotic.live with Google, Microsoft or your email address. No card is needed, and the free plan seats 50 participants in every session.

2. 2

   Rebuild your slides as a presentation

   Create a presentation and add the interactions your Mentimeter deck used — polls, word clouds, open-ended questions, rating, ranking and Q&A. Copy the question text across; there is no importer for Mentimeter files.

3. 3

   Add a quiz if you want scoring

   Add scored questions for a leaderboard, or build a separate quiz. AI can draft questions from a topic or a PDF: 10 a month on the free plan (20 in your first week). Review every one before you present.

4. 4

   Share the 6-digit PIN

   Start the session and put it on screen. Participants open quizotic.live/join on any phone, type the 6-digit PIN and a name, and they are in — no app and no account.

5. 5

   Present from PowerPoint if you prefer

   Quizotic runs inside PowerPoint as a content add-in, so the live question, responses and leaderboard appear on your slide; it installs from a manifest today, and the Microsoft Marketplace listing is in progress. The add-in and importing a whole PPTX deck are both part of Pro, which is planned at $4.99/month, not yet on sale.
