The Slido alternative for when the quiz is the main event

Slido is an audience interaction tool for live Q&A, polls and quick quizzes, founded in Bratislava, Slovakia, in 2012. Cisco completed its acquisition in May 2021, and Slido is now part of Webex by Cisco. Participants join in a browser at slido.com with an event code, a QR code or a link, or inside PowerPoint, Google Slides, Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Webex; Slido retired its participant mobile apps on March 30, 2026. It is best known for upvoted, moderated Q&A, while its quiz is simple: multiple choice, a 20-second default timer, speed-based ranking and a top-5 leaderboard.

Best for: Meeting hosts, event organizers and enterprises that need moderated Q&A and polls inside their presentation or video-call tools, with an occasional simple quiz.

• The free plan allows 3 polls and 1 quiz per slido, with up to 100 participants.
• Slido doesn't accept monthly payments: you buy a year up front or pay per event.
• Prices climb steeply with audience size: 200 participants on Engage ($210 a year), 1,000 on Professional ($900) and 5,000 on Enterprise ($2,400).
• Participant caps count every device that joins during the event, not just the people connected at the same time.
• The quiz feature is basic — multiple choice with a top-5 leaderboard — and reviewers say it lacks a game-show feel.

• A full quiz game

  Quizzo awards 500–1,000 points per correct answer depending on speed, shows an answer chart and top-5 leaderboard after every question, and ends on a podium with confetti. Built-in music and sound effects keep the room's energy up.

• Monthly billing, no event fees

  Pay $9 for the month you need, then cancel. Slido sells only annual plans or one-time event plans from $60.

• Room for 500 players

  Every Quizzo game takes up to 500 players. Slido's annual business Engage plan stops at 200 per slido; more means Professional at $900 a year.

• Big one-off events cost less

  A company quiz for 300 people needs Slido's Professional event plan at $240. On Quizzo it costs $9 for the month.

• Audience Q&A and polls

  People submit and upvote questions, with moderation and labels on Professional and up, alongside polls, ratings, word clouds and surveys. Quizzo has quizzes only.

• Inside your meeting tools

  Slido runs inside PowerPoint, Google Slides, Microsoft Teams and Zoom, and natively in Webex, so nobody leaves the meeting. Quizzo has no meeting-app integrations; you share its game screen instead.

• Enterprise scale and security

  Paid plans reach 5,000 participants per slido, with SSO, SCIM and a HIPAA option on Enterprise, backed by Cisco.

• Free plan and teacher pricing

  The free plan covers 100 participants with unlimited Q&A, and teachers get 500 participants per slido for $84 a year — less than twelve months of Quizzo.

As of October 2026, Slido's US prices are Engage at $17.50/month (200 participants per slido), Professional at $75/month (1,000, two users) and Enterprise at $200/month (5,000, three users), all billed annually; Slido doesn't accept monthly payments. One-time plans for a single event of up to 7 days cost $60, $240 or $1,000, and education plans start at $7/month billed annually ($84 a year) for 500 participants. Prices differ by region — Engage is €15 a month in Europe. Quizzo is $9/month for up to 500 players, billed monthly. A teacher on Slido's education Engage plan pays less over a full year than twelve months of Quizzo; for business use, one-off events and groups above 200, Quizzo usually costs much less.

Keep Slido if your sessions revolve around audience questions — moderated Q&A, quick polls and surveys inside PowerPoint, Teams, Zoom or Webex — or if you need enterprise sign-on and audiences in the thousands. Choose Quizzo when the quiz is the point: a full game with speed points, an answer chart, leaderboard and podium for up to 500 players, paid month to month at $9 instead of a yearly plan or a per-event fee. You can also use both: Slido for Q&A and Quizzo for the quiz segment.
