EngageSlide vs Socrative

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).

Socrative is an online assessment tool for teachers, with quizzes, quick checks, automatic grading, and reports. Teachers can view learning progress live and use real-time insights to identify gaps. Students may receive an explanation or correct response after answering. Activities include in-lesson tasks, self-paced work, homework, exit tickets, polls, and team Space Races. AI tools can generate assessments, create questions from class material, and transform existing quizzes. Students join a room with a code and do not need an account. Socrative works in modern browsers on laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and smartphones, as well as through Android and iOS apps. Free and Essentials rooms allow up to 50 students per activity; Pro allows up to 300. The free plan costs 0.00 USD. Essentials is $10.00 per month and Pro is $16.67 per month, both billed annually. New users who have not purchased Socrative can take a one-time 21-day trial of Essentials or Pro; it becomes paid unless cancelled before the end date. Socrative supports Google single sign-on and Google Drive report exports.
