Mentimeter describes itself as a tool for interactive presentations and audience engagement in meetings, classes, training and events. Its core product, Menti Live, puts polls, quizzes, word clouds and Q&A into a presentation that people join from their own devices with a code. It also lists surveys, recurring check-ins, AI that builds a presentation from a prompt, and integrations with PowerPoint, Google Slides, Microsoft Teams and Zoom.
If you want another tool of that kind, the real Mentimeter alternatives are Slido, Poll Everywhere, AhaSlides, Wooclap and Vevox, with Kahoot for a more competitive quiz game. They differ in emphasis: Slido on Q&A in meetings, Poll Everywhere on the range of poll types, AhaSlides on game-style extras, Wooclap on university teaching, and Vevox on anonymous Q&A. Each site was checked on 13 November 2026, and each has its own pricing page.
Scholarly is not one of them. It cannot poll a live audience, show a word cloud, run Q&A or host a quiz with a leaderboard, and nobody joins with a code. It is for the time outside the session: it takes lecture notes, a PDF, slides or a recording and makes a quiz, flashcards, a timed practice exam, a video lecture or a podcast that each person studies alone.
That is why the two fit together more often than they compete. A lecturer can run Mentimeter during class for participation, and students can use Scholarly afterwards to turn the same notes into practice. Scholarly's Free plan includes 1 lifetime AI Creation Credit, one uploaded file, 5 quiz questions and one completed practice exam. Premium is $30 a month or $180 a year in US dollars, with 15 AI Creation Credits a week.
