For meetings, workshops, training sessions and events, Slideasy provides the interaction tools presenters need without limiting the number of people who can participate.
Slido caps audiences by plan. Slideasy lets everyone take part.
Slido works well for smaller sessions, but its limits can become important once your events start growing.
The free plan supports up to 100 participants per event and allows only three polls per event. Paid plans increase the audience limit by tier, starting at 200 participants and going up to 5,000 on Enterprise. Larger audiences therefore mean moving further up the pricing structure.
With Slideasy, participant capacity is not tied to your plan. Every plan supports unlimited participants, giving you more flexibility when attendance changes from one event to the next.
Slido fits naturally into workflows built around tools such as Webex, PowerPoint, and video conferencing. That can be useful when those platforms are already central to how your organisation presents. Not every session needs that setup, though.
With Slideasy, the presentation itself and the interactive elements live together. Open the browser, prepare the content, and present directly without first connecting an add in or setting up another presentation environment. It is a simpler option when you want the interactive presentation to be the main workspace rather than an extra layer inside another tool.
Different moments in a presentation call for different kinds of audience input. A quick decision may need a poll, a discussion may benefit from anonymous Q&A, while broader feedback may work better as a survey.
Slideasy puts these interaction types inside the presentation workflow, so you can choose the format that fits the question instead of forcing every response into the same structure.
Because submissions update on screen as they arrive, presenters can spot agreement, questions, and changing opinions while the session is still happening.
An interactive session should not begin with instructions about downloads, logins, or account setup.
Slideasy gives participants a direct way in. They can scan the QR code on screen or follow a shared link from whatever device they already have, then start answering immediately.
Responses can be submitted privately and displayed together on the presentation screen. This gives everyone a way to contribute while keeping the focus on the discussion rather than the technology behind it.

Slideasy adapts to those situations. Team leads can collect opinions during discussions, teachers can check understanding, trainers can adjust sessions using live responses, and speakers can involve people throughout an event.
The same presentation workflow can also support brainstorming and feedback when the goal is to hear from the group rather than simply present to it.
Slideasy does not make audience size part of the upgrade decision. Its free plan includes unlimited presentations and participants with three interactive slides, while Premium costs $20 per month for unlimited interactive slides as well.
Slido's free plan supports 100 participants and three polls per event. Paid plans increase capacity by tier. Engage supports 200 participants for around $150 per year, while Professional supports up to 1,000 participants and costs about $50 per month when billed annually.
Slido can be worth the higher cost for teams that rely heavily on integrations such as Webex or PowerPoint. For presenters who mainly want live participation without moving through audience-based pricing tiers, Slideasy keeps the cost easier to predict.

I've used this before during large presentations/events and it's a great way to get the audience to interact, and for you as a presenter to understand what they're thinking.
I actually used the slideasy app the same week you all launched it for a retrospective. It made it a little more interactive and a little more fun to get answers out of the teams. Great job.

Everything you need to engage at scale
Yes, especially if you want simple audience engagement without participant caps. Slideasy runs in the browser, keeps participants unlimited on every plan, and prices at one flat rate. Slido caps its free plan at 100 participants with only 3 polls per event, and raises the price as your audience grows. For running a fast live poll, word cloud, or live Q&A without setup, Slideasy is the more direct choice.
Slideasy allows unlimited participants on its free plan. Slido's free plan stops at 100 participants per event and limits you to 3 polls. With Slideasy, the size of your audience never forces you onto a paid plan, so a class of 30 and a conference of 3,000 both join the same way at no cost.
For most presenters, yes. Slideasy is a flat $20 per month with billing you can cancel anytime. Slido bills annually only, starting around $150 per year for 200 participants and rising to $1,800 for Enterprise. Because Slideasy never charges more when your audience grows, the cost stays predictable no matter how many people join.
No. Slideasy runs entirely in your browser, so there is nothing to install for you or your audience. Participants join by scanning a QR code or opening a link, with no app and no account. Slido leans on integrations with Webex, Teams, and PowerPoint, which can add setup. Slideasy keeps the whole session in one browser tab instead.
Yes. Slideasy supports unlimited participants, making it suitable for large meetings, webinars, workshops and conference sessions.
Slideasy works anywhere you need to hear from a room. Teams run workplace meetings with live polls and anonymous Q&A, teachers use it for classroom engagement, and speakers keep large crowds involved at events and conferences. It also fits training sessions and brainstorming, where every participant can contribute at once. Unlimited participants means the same setup works for a team of ten or an audience of thousands.
