Diaposi vs MentimeterPresent the deck you already have, free.

Diaposi Session turns the PowerPoint, PDF or Word file you already have into a live session with polls, a quiz and anonymous questions, and every participant follows it on their own device. Diaposi is free. There is no paid plan today, and participants never need an account.

The bottom line

Both tools let an audience answer polls and ask questions from their own device. The difference is what you start from, what the room keeps, and what it costs.

Diaposi Session starts from the PowerPoint, PDF or Word file you already have, with no monthly audience cap, and lets every participant follow it and annotate it, then keep it as their own learning journey with a free account.

Mentimeter Free allows 50 participants a month across all your presentations and does not import slides. Diaposi does both for free, with no paid plan today.

Present the file you already have, and the room follows it

Upload the PowerPoint, PDF or Word file you already have, up to 50 MB, and present it page by page with your own content and layout. A Word document scrolls as a document, so lecture notes or a handout work as well as a slide deck. There is nothing to rebuild and no template to fit into.

Every participant opens the slide you are on, on their own phone, tablet or laptop. They can go back to any slide you have already shown, never a hidden one, take private notes, draw on their own copy and mark each slide Got it or Review. With a free account, they keep the whole session afterwards as their own learning journey, with a personal report.

On Mentimeter, importing a presentation is a paid feature: its help center lists it for Basic, Pro and Enterprise and says it is not available on the Free plan.

Questions the room can upvote, polls on top of your slides

Participants ask anonymously from their own device. When someone has the same question, they upvote the one already asked, and you see how many participants are behind it. You pin a question, answer it and mark it done without leaving your slides.

Polls come in six kinds: yes or no, true or false, multiple choice, rating scale, free answer and word cloud. Add a live quiz built from your own slides, or one you write or import, and read the room with Class Pulse as you go.

A report slide by slide, free

During the session, Class Pulse shows slide by slide how long you stayed on each one, how long the room looked at it and the signals it sent. Afterwards the report keeps the session slide by slide: participation, reactions, questions, poll and quiz results. Export it as PDF, with every slide on its own page, or as CSV.

Sessions you run with your account are saved automatically and kept for 12 months after the session, and each participant can keep a personal report with a free account. On Mentimeter, downloading results as an image, PDF or Excel file starts on its Basic plan.

A quiz built from your own slides

Open Quiz and Diaposi builds one from the deck you are presenting: the whole presentation or only the chapters you pick, easy, medium or hard, with or without a timer. You read every question before the room sees it, and you can rewrite, delete or add one. The room can vote on how hard and how long it should be; you see the tally and make the call.

Short on a poll question? Diaposi suggests one drawn from the slide on screen, and only from slides the room has already seen, so a suggestion never gives away what comes next. Participants answer at their own pace, can say I don't know, and see their own score in private, while you see how the room understood each chapter.

See Diaposi Session

Know what the room came for, and whether it got it

Before the first slide, participants write what they hope to take away, and their cards stream onto your screen. Hold End and the same wall comes back: each participant says whether it was met, partly met or not yet, and your report shows how many left with what they came for.

The report also carries the quiet signals: the slides participants went back to after you had moved on, and the places where you moved on while the room was still reading. Nobody pressed a button for these, so the participants who never speak up count too.

Everything Diaposi does with the same deck

Diaposi Session is one part of Diaposi, the EdTech platform for interactive and measurable learning. The PowerPoint, PDF or Word file you present can also be followed by learners at their own pace, turned into a mock exam built from the same course files, and measured from one session to the next, all with one free account. Participants never need an account or an app to join.

Present your deck, live

  • Your PowerPoint, PDF or Word file as it is; a Word document scrolls like a document
  • Six kinds of polls, and quizzes built from your slides, written or imported
  • Anonymous questions the room votes up; the one it rallies behind rises onto your screen
  • Your ink, laser dot and whiteboard pages appear live on every participant's screen
  • Open with the room's expectations, close by asking whether they were met

Follow at every participant's pace

  • Participants follow your slide, go back to any slide shown and keep notes you never see
  • With a free account: a summary, and a Learn more card on each slide you have reached
  • Signed in, each participant keeps the session as their own learning journey
  • Learners can also upload your deck and follow it alone, with Quiz me and chapter checks

Practise under exam conditions

  • Up to 6 course files become one mock exam, with chapters found in your own documents
  • Run it with your class: one clock, private extra time, every paper handed in at its deadline
  • Written answers marked criterion by criterion; one that cannot be marked waits for you
  • Learners practise alone too: a grade out of 20 and the pages to reread

Measure what was learned

  • A report slide by slide after every session, as PDF or CSV
  • Quiet signals: the slides participants went back to after you had moved on
  • Your lecture evidence: every session in one view, compared with the period before
  • Mock exams graded out of 20, by question, by chapter and for each participant

How Mentimeter's cap works in practice: the 50 is counted across all your presentations and resets each month on the day you signed up. Two classes of 30 in the same month already pass it. Mentimeter lets one presentation a month go past the cap; once you are over, you cannot start another presentation until the count resets.
