The short version
Wooclap is a mature, feature-rich platform for building a session inside its own event editor — or inserting its interactive slides into PowerPoint (native add-in) or Google Slides (browser extension) — with a big question-type library and real LMS/SSO wiring for schools and enterprise. PollSlide takes the opposite approach: your existing Keynote, PowerPoint, Slides or PDF deck never gets touched or converted — a QR box you paste onto any slide is the whole integration, and one free Mac companion floats results over whatever app you're already presenting from.

Why presenters switch to PollSlide
Your deck stays exactly as you built it
No exporting into Wooclap's editor, no letting an add-in insert someone else's slides, no Keynote file getting flattened into static images. Paste a QR box on the slide you already made and present like you always do.
One companion, not an add-in per app
The free Mac companion floats live results over Keynote, PowerPoint or a PDF automatically — no add-in pane to manage, no browser extension, no separate web player to babysit.
Polls, surveys, quizzes, study — one price
Everything runs on a single flat plan with a free tier that runs real sessions, not a Starter/Basic/Pro/Corporate ladder where exporting and AI sit behind higher tiers.

🤝 When Wooclap might be the better fit
Wooclap's library of 20+ interactive question types — word clouds, ranking, matching, brainstorming boards, spin-the-wheel and more — goes well beyond a typical live-polling tool, and its LMS sync (Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard) plus SSO/SAML/CAS make it a genuinely strong fit for IT-managed school or enterprise rollouts. If that specific breadth or institutional wiring is what you need, Wooclap is worth a look.
Questions people ask
Is PollSlide a good Wooclap alternative?
Yes, if you want polls, quizzes, surveys and study sets in one flat plan over your own Keynote, PowerPoint or Google Slides deck. Wooclap has a broad library of question types and LMS sync with SSO, which suits IT-managed school and enterprise rollouts.
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 Wooclap work inside PowerPoint?
Yes. Wooclap says it works with PowerPoint, Google Slides and Microsoft Teams. PollSlide's PowerPoint add-in is in review with Microsoft; the QR-on-slide method works today in PowerPoint, Google Slides and Keynote, and the Mac companion floats live results over any deck.
How do PollSlide and Wooclap prices compare?
Both have a free plan. Wooclap's Starter plan allows 5 questions a month; PollSlide's free plan runs full sessions for 25 participants. PollSlide Pro is $12 a month ($10 billed annually); Wooclap's paid plans are billed annually — check wooclap.com/pricing. 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.
