EngageSlide vs MeetingPulse

EngageSlide is an interactive presentation tool for running live polls, quizzes, Q&A, word clouds, and other audience activities. People join a presentation through a QR code or link, without installing an app or creating an account. Presenters can see responses as they arrive, including charts and word clouds, and can use a smartphone to control slides, view private speaker notes, and manage Q&A. Listed integrations include PowerPoint, Google Slides, Microsoft Teams, and Miro; the Teams integration brings polls, word clouds, and quizzes into meetings. Its AI can draft outlines, slide content, polls, quizzes, and word-cloud questions, then summarize audience responses. EngageSlide says prompts and slide context may be sent to OpenAI; private audience responses and personal information are not used to train models. Insights can be exported to PDF or Excel. It runs on web, Android, iOS, and Windows, with a browser extension. The free plan allows 10 live participants. Basic is $4.79/mo (annual), while Pro is $8.99/mo (annual).
