Our takeMentimeter covers live polls, quizzes and Q&A, plus surveys and recurring check-ins, and the Free plan is usable for small groups.

The Free plan counts 50 participants a month, apart from one presentation a month with unlimited participants, so regular sessions with larger groups mean a paid plan priced per presenter and listed as billed yearly.

Why we rate itMentimeter combines live polls, quizzes, Q&A, surveys and check-ins in one product, with a Free plan and integrations with PowerPoint, Teams, Zoom and several learning platforms.

The catchThe Free plan limits participants to 50 a month apart from one presentation, paid plans are per presenter and listed as billed yearly, and refunds are limited to 14 days after starting.

What is Mentimeter and what is it used for?

Mentimeter is an interactive presentation tool. A presenter creates a Menti with live polls, quizzes, word clouds or Q&A, and the audience answers on their own devices, in the room or online. Its site lists meetings, classes, trainings and events as uses, including anonymous feedback, knowledge checks and brainstorming. Participants join with a code at menti.com, by scanning a QR code or through a link.

Is Mentimeter free?

Yes, there is a Free plan at no cost (checked 28 October 2026). It counts 50 participants a month across presentations, plus one presentation a month with unlimited participants, and it includes almost all question types. The count resets monthly on the date you created your account. Basic costs $14 per presenter per month billed yearly (checked 5 November 2026) and removes the monthly participant limit.

How much does Mentimeter cost?

Mentimeter's plans page lists Basic at $14 and Pro at $28 per presenter per month in US dollars, billed yearly and excluding tax, with custom pricing for Enterprise (read with a US-located request, checked 5 November 2026). Its pricing FAQ and help center say Basic and Pro are yearly subscriptions only, with a separate one-off conference plan for single events. Its education page lists the plans Free, Basic, Pro and Campus (custom) without prices, and labels Basic and Pro as billed yearly, excluding tax. We found no promo code listed on either page.

How do I join a Mentimeter presentation or log in?

Conversion Gems is an independent software review site, not Mentimeter, so we cannot sign you in or give you a code. To join a presentation, go to https://www.menti.com/ and enter the code shown on the presenter's screen, or scan the presenter's QR code or open the link they share. Presenters log in to their account at https://www.mentimeter.com/auth/login.

Is Mentimeter an AI tool?

Mentimeter is an audience engagement tool that has AI features added to it. Its site lists an AI Menti Creator, free to try, that drafts a Menti from a prompt, and AI features that help group, summarize and follow up on responses. The live polls, quizzes and Q&A are the core of the product.

Who owns Mentimeter and is it safe to use?

Mentimeter AB (publ) is a Swedish company that says it was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in Stockholm. In 2024 Bure Equity and GP Bullhound bought shares from existing owners in a secondary transaction, and the company received no proceeds. Its privacy policy says customer data at rest is hosted in the EU by default, with multi-regional hosting offered.

What are the disadvantages of Mentimeter?

Mentimeter's own pages show these limits to weigh before you pay. The Free plan counts 50 participants a month across presentations, plus one presentation a month with unlimited participants; once you reach the limit, you can keep presenting the same presentation for 8 hours, but other presentations are blocked until the count resets. Basic and Pro are yearly subscriptions only, with no monthly option, although a separate one-off conference plan covers a single event. Paid plans allow up to 20,000 participants per presentation (2,000 for Quiz slides), and Quick Form slides are Pro only. The plans page says the 14-day refund applies only if you have not successfully used Mentimeter at a live event. This is a list of the vendor's stated limits, not a hands-on assessment (checked 28 October 2026).
