Free Mentimeter alternative
QuizUps vs Mentimeter
Mentimeter is built for audience polling inside a presentation, and it does that well - but the free tier limits how many questions a presentation can hold, and quizzes, exports and branding sit on paid plans. QuizUps covers the same polling ground (polls, word clouds, ratings, ranking and numeric scales) alongside full scored quizzes, and does not meter any of it.
