Questions people ask
Is PollSlide a good Slido alternative?
Yes, if you want polls, quizzes, surveys and Q&A in one plan over the slides you already have. Slido is strongest for moderated Q&A in large meetings, especially in Webex. PollSlide adds graded quizzes with game modes, surveys and study sets, and works over Keynote as well as PowerPoint and Google Slides.
Can I keep using my PowerPoint or Keynote slides?
Yes. Paste your poll's QR code onto any slide and your audience answers on their phones. On a Mac, the free PollSlide companion floats live results over your slideshow — Keynote, PowerPoint or a PDF — and shows the right poll when that slide is on screen.
Does Slido work inside PowerPoint and Google Slides?
Yes. Slido offers a PowerPoint add-in and a Google Slides add-on, according to its help community. Its Mac Switcher app, which other presentation tools relied on, was retired in January 2025. PollSlide's PowerPoint add-in, PollSlide LIVE, is in Microsoft Marketplace; the QR-on-slide method works today in PowerPoint, Google Slides and Keynote.
How do PollSlide and Slido prices compare?
PollSlide has a free plan and Pro at $12 a month ($10 billed annually), covering polls, surveys, quizzes and study sets. Slido sells one-time and annual plans; check slido.com/pricing for current prices. Checked 7 October 2026.
Does my audience need to download an app?
No — with either tool. In PollSlide, people scan the QR or go to pollslide.com/join and answer in their phone's browser, with no app and no account.
