PollSpark and Mentimeter

A focused Mentimeter alternative for UK teams

Capability without the complexity. PollSpark is designed to keep the path from creating a poll to presenting it short, with published UK prices and flexible buying.

The short answer

PollSpark for focused team sessions

Ask useful questions, collect responses and leave with results you can use. Teams plans bundle 10 presenter seats.

Mentimeter for a broader presentation platform

Consider Mentimeter when presentation authoring, broader workspace requirements or substantially larger events shape your choice.

Five buyer questions

What matters for your next session?

Pricing and licensing

PollSpark

Published UK pricing, with 10 presenter seats in Teams Starter and Teams Pro. Annual upfront, a 12-month commitment paid monthly, or rolling monthly without a 12-month commitment. Individual is for one presenter; Teams plans bundle access for people who create and run sessions. The billing choice changes payment cadence and commitment, rather than the question formats included in that plan.

Mentimeter

Standard paid plans use per-presenter pricing and are billed yearly.

Audience size

PollSpark

Paid plans support sessions of up to 100, 250 or 500 participants, depending on plan.

Mentimeter

Published guidance covers audiences up to 20,000. Larger events require advance contact. Quiz slides have a separate 2,000-participant limit.

Question capability

PollSpark

11 useful question formats, including Mood Check-in, Confidence Meter and Before & After. Moderated Q&A is a separate Live feature. Formats cover choices, free text, word clouds, scales and prioritisation. Choose a format for the question you need to ask: a confidence score, a quick mood check, a ranked list or a group comparison before and after training. See the question-type guide for availability by plan and mode.

Mentimeter

Live polls, word clouds, open text, scales, ranking, quizzes and Q&A, alongside surveys and recurring Pulse surveys.

Workflow

PollSpark

Presenters run polls in a browser. Participants join by code or QR code without an app or account. Keep your existing meeting or presentation around the polling. PollSpark offers presenter-led Live sessions and Survey mode for compatible formats. Use Live when you want to control the pace and discuss results with the room; use Survey when participants need to work through questions in their own time.

Mentimeter

A broader presentation and audience-engagement platform, combining interaction with presentation authoring and workspace collaboration.

Best-fit use case

PollSpark

Training, workshops and focused team sessions. Anonymous mode is available on every plan for anonymous polling when participant names are not needed.

Mentimeter

Presentation-led audience engagement, substantially larger events, or broader workspace and enterprise requirements.
