EngageTime vs YuJa Engage

EngageTime turns event sessions into opportunities for audience participation, feedback, and follow-up through live polls and Q&A. Attendees can join from any device in a web browser without installing an app. They can ask questions anonymously, vote questions up, and participate in moderated Q&A. Sessions can also include quizzes, trivia, emoji reactions, ratings, and comments. The service reports on engagement, questions, poll responses, and learning outcomes. Speakers can share materials, collect attendee contact details with opt-in for follow-ups, and export contacts or send them to a CRM through the API. EngageTime offers Sessionize CSV session import and a Microsoft PowerPoint add-in for displaying live polls. Event plans include session moderation and CSV exports; higher tiers add multi-track scheduling and branding. The maker presents it for conferences, summits, workshops, training, and virtual or hybrid events. A Freemium pricing card lists one active session and 20 attendees, though other homepage copy advertises free use for up to 100 attendees. Paid plans begin at €9/mo. Listed platforms are API, extension, macOS, web, and Windows.

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.
