The Slido alternative for the whole session

Slido is great for questions from the floor. Quack does moderated Q&A with upvotes too, and adds scored quizzes, word clouds, scales and 20+ formats, free for up to 300 players, with no per-event poll limit.

Quack covers Slido's core (live polls, word clouds, upvoted Q&A) without the free plan's three-polls-per-event limit, and adds a full game layer Slido doesn't have: scored quizzes, streaks, podium. Paid starts at $12 a month, billed monthly; Slido's subscriptions bill annually.

Slido is a trademark of sli.do s.r.o., a Cisco company. Quack is an independent product and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Cisco or sli.do. Plan and pricing details are from slido.com as of June 2026 and may change; check their site for current plans.

Unlimited polls per event

Slido's free plan allows three polls per event. Quack decks have no per-event limits: run as many polls, word clouds, scales and quiz questions as the session needs, for up to 300 players, free.

Q&A, and the rest of the session too

Audience questions with upvotes and host moderation are built in. So are the moments beyond Q&A: a scored quiz to lift the energy, a word cloud to open, emoji reactions floating across the big screen and a comment the host pins for everyone. One deck carries the whole arc of a session.

A price one person can expense

Quack Plus is $12 a month with a 14-day trial: no annual contract, cancel anytime. It adds your brand on every slide, deck co-editing and CSV exports. Slido's subscriptions bill annually; one-off event passes exist but reset with every event.

When Slido is the better fit

Honest answer: sometimes it is. Pick Slido if any of these describe you.

  • Your Q&A runs inside Webex, Teams or PowerPoint and the native integrations are the point; Slido is part of Cisco and lives in those rooms.
  • You moderate question queues for conferences with thousands of attendees and need that scale today.
  • You only ever need Q&A plus a couple of polls, and a one-off event pass fits how rarely you host.
