Brief description |
Interactive polling tool with multiple question types and visualization options. |
Real-time polls with a number of different response options: multiple choice, word cloud, Q&A, open ended, rank order, clickable image, or survey. |
iClicker Cloud, and its smartphone app Reef, is a polling platform that accepts student responses from the iClicker Reef website, mobile app or traditional hand-held remote-style clickers. Can be used in-person or remotely. |

This is a feature comparison of Poll Everywhere, Mentimeter and Slido. |

Potential downsides |
It is clunky to import a PowerPoint presentation into Mentimeter (it creates an image of each slide which prevents further edits). Student responses are anonymous unless you explicitly ask for their name. |
Pricing levels vary significantly- unclear what can be achieved with which package. Free version for higher ed does not allow you to import and group participants. |
While the iClicker Cloud software is available to instructors for free, students must purchase the Reef smartphone app or use the Reef website to respond to polls. The iClicker Cloud software is only available for Windows and Mac. No Linux version has been made available. |
