BrainCraft vs Decka

BrainCraft turns presentations into live sessions where audiences can respond rather than only watch. Hosts can choose among 20 interaction types, including multiple choice, polls, open questions, word clouds, ratings, and brainstorming. Responses appear live, with post-session analytics for hosts and a personal recap of answers and performance for participants. Participants join by QR code or short session code without an account or app; the education page says a browser on a phone, tablet, or laptop is enough. BrainCraft says its polls and Q&As work online with Zoom, Teams, or Meet. The Free plan is free, billed forever, and allows 20 participants per session, five sessions monthly, and 20 slides per session. Educator costs $4.99 a month and allows 100 participants, unlimited sessions and slides, and PDF export. Pro costs $10.99 a month and adds a coding terminal, CSV and PDF export, and up to four workspace members. Institution includes API access and SSO / SAML, with price available by contacting the maker. Paid plans include a 14-day money-back guarantee.
