Counted per session, not per month
Mentimeter's free plan includes 50 participants per 30-day period. Quack's free plan counts per session rather than per month: up to 300 players can join every session you run, today and again tomorrow.
Polls and quizzes in the same deck
Word clouds, rating scales, rankings, allocate-points, open text and moderated Q&A are all here. Quack then adds scored questions with time pressure, streak bonuses and a leaderboard that turns a passive audience into a competing one. Sessions stick better when the room is playing.
Monthly billing, no annual lock-in
Quack Plus is $12 a month with a 14-day trial, cancel anytime, or $120 a year. Mentimeter's paid plans are billed annually. Plus adds your brand colors and logo on every slide, deck co-editing and CSV exports.
