Kahoot! 360 vs Slido pricing

Budget lens: Kahoot! 360 publishes prices (from 19 US dollars a month); Slido publishes prices (from 210 US dollars a year). No like-for-like total has been run.

Where they differ

  • Attendee app: only Kahoot! 360 lists it (Platforms: Web, iOS, Android); Slido shows nothing we could confirm.
  • Both list: gamification, polls.
  • Neither confirmed on the pages we read: networking, hospitality, check-in, exhibitors, WhatsApp, managed support, rupee billing.
  • Not verified for at least one of them: managed support.

Who should choose which

Choose Kahoot! 360 when your brief leans on attendee app, where Slido showed nothing we could confirm.

Choose Slido for a single keynote, town hall or webinar where the presenter drives from slides. No single row on public pages separates it from Kahoot! 360.

Scenario: a trainer running weekly quizzes for 40 learners fits Kahoot!’s participant cap; a town hall with 800 staff sending questions fits Slido’s moderated Q&A. Check the participant ceiling of the tier you would actually buy.

Where Sociana fits

Sociana is our product. We pair quizzes with a unified leaderboard and attendance across a programme; we have no PowerPoint add-in, which Slido does.
