EngageSlide vs YuJa Engage

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).

YuJa Engage is a real-time student response system designed for higher education. Instructors can schedule or launch polls, and students can participate using a poll code, QR code, or LMS login. Question formats include multiple choice, true or false, clickable images, short answer, word clouds, ranking, and open discussion. Live dashboards show response rates, answer distributions, and engagement trends, with analytics at institution, course, and activity levels. Instructors can upload captioned videos to generate poll questions with AI, then review and edit the questions and link them to the source video. Geolocation-based attendance polls can require students to be inside institution-defined boundaries, and results sync with an LMS-integrated gradebook. Engage offers direct LTI integration and gradebook sync for major LMSs, plus add-ons for PowerPoint, Google Slides, and Keynote. Native iOS and Android apps provide access for instructors and students. The product page directs visitors to contact sales for pricing; there is no free plan. YuJa says it provides 24/7 live support and training, and describes encryption for customer data at rest and in transit.
