Vevox vs YuJa Engage

Vevox is a web-based audience participation tool for live polling, Q&A, quizzes, word clouds, surveys and attendance tracking. Participants can respond anonymously and join through a browser without downloading an app. Presenters can use integrations with Microsoft Teams, PowerPoint, Zoom, Google Slides and major LMS platforms; the PowerPoint add-in runs polls inside presentations. The free plan costs $0, lasts forever and requires no credit card. It includes one user, basic multiple-choice polls, quizzes, Q&A, AI question creation and selected integrations. Participant limits vary by plan, from 100 to 5,000. Paid plans include Business Starter at $11.95 per month, billed annually at $143.40 per year, and Education Starter at $7.75 per month, billed annually at $93 per year. Security controls include session passcodes, moderation, profanity filters and SSO. The AI question helper can produce answers and plausible alternatives, with difficulty levels.

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.
