Billed in US dollars per presenter; we found no rupee pricing, GST invoicing or WhatsApp channel as of 19 Oct 2026.

FAQ
Mentimeter alternatives: questions
When is Mentimeter the better choice than Sociana?
Choose Mentimeter when a trainer or presenter builds interactive slides, wants Menti AI help and PowerPoint embeds, and pays per presenter. Choose Sociana when polls and quizzes sit inside a conference or annual meet app with agenda, games, rewards and venue screens.
Why do organisers look for a Mentimeter alternative?
Cited reasons on 19 Oct 2026 are scope and price per presenter: it is slide-deck UX, participation ends with the session and costs scale with presenters. Mentimeter also has a free plan, a refund window and a 15-question FAQ, so it is a fit question rather than a quality one.
How does Mentimeter pricing compare with Sociana?
Mentimeter lists Basic at 14 and Pro at 28 dollars per presenter a month billed yearly, and Enterprise custom. Sociana quotes per occasion in rupees with GST and does not sell polling alone. Compare against the number of presenters and the other tools Sociana replaces.
