The Mentimeter alternative for rooms that join by camera, not code.
Live polls, word clouds, upvoted Q&A and quiz games with leaderboards, joined by QR code. A smaller product than Mentimeter, with a real free plan and no invented enterprise checkboxes.
TL;DR
Mentimeter is a mature, presentation-centric product with more question types and its own slide editor. QR Polls is younger and simpler: QR-first joining, five poll formats with live word clouds, upvoted Q&A and quiz games. If you want to build the whole presentation inside the polling tool, Mentimeter is the incumbent for a reason. If you want a fast QR poll, a word cloud or a trivia night, we're lighter and free to start.
