Searching for a Mentimeter alternative usually starts the same way: you tried to lock down a quiz, grade an open response, or issue a certificate, and realized Mentimeter simply wasn’t built for it. We spent time building and running real quizzes in both tools before writing a word of this, so here’s exactly where they agree, where they don’t, and which one actually fits what you’re trying to do.
ProProfs Quiz Maker and Mentimeter start from two different questions. ProProfs Quiz Maker asks, “how do we make sure this quiz can be trusted?”, and builds around business, training, and education, covering everything from certification exams and compliance testing to hiring assessments and lead-generation quizzes, all in one product. Mentimeter asks, “how do we make this room feel alive right now?”, and builds around live polls, quizzes, word clouds, and Q&A that light up a shared screen the moment people respond.
Both will get a working quiz in front of people within minutes. The gap opens once that quiz needs to be trusted rather than just answered: stopping someone from switching tabs mid-exam, grading an open-ended response automatically, issuing a certificate, or handing someone a report that shows exactly who’s falling behind. That’s where the two products part ways, and it’s what the rest of this guide walks through.
Choose ProProfs Quiz Maker
To build graded, certified, or secure exams for training, compliance, and hiring, with AI that grades essays and summarizes reports, not just writes questions.
Choose Mentimeter
To run live meetings, classes, or events where the room reacts in real time, with quizzes, polls, word clouds, and Q&A inside Zoom, Teams, or PowerPoint, and no need for grading, certificates, or exam security.

1. Quiz and Question Authoring
Every quiz starts here, so this is where the first real difference shows up: how much structure and control you get once that first AI-generated draft is ready to build on.
| Authoring feature | ProProfs Quiz Maker | Mentimeter |
|---|---|---|
| AI generation |
✓AI Quiz Builder writes a full quiz from a topic; AI Quiz Assistant refines any question on demand

ProProfs Quiz Maker: AI Quiz Builder writes the first draft from a topic and AI Quiz Assistant refines any question after that. Bulk import from Excel or Word, file-to-quiz, branching logic, and sections scored and timed independently then turn that draft into a quiz that can actually assess someone.
Mentimeter: AI Menti Creator and the AI quiz generator build a deck or quiz from a prompt, topic, or document, and Pro’s shared workspace supports co-editing. A Menti runs as one continuous session, so there is no spreadsheet import, branching, or sectioned scoring.
2. Assessments, Question Bank, and Proctoring
If you need a quiz that can be trusted as a real exam, not just answered for fun, this is the section that matters most. Here’s what each platform offers once security and grading enter the picture.
| Assessment feature | ProProfs Quiz Maker | Mentimeter |
|---|---|---|
| Question types |
✓20+ types: multiple choice, checkboxes, true/false, fill-in-the-blank, matching, hotspot, essay, document and image submission, audio and video response
|
–Multiple choice, true/false, and open ended for scored quiz slides

Mentimeter: Quiz slides with a live leaderboard suit low-stakes knowledge checks. Enterprise adds SSO participant verification and join settings, which control who joins a session rather than how an exam is taken.
3. AI Capabilities
AI now shapes how most quizzes get written, but the real value shows up after that first draft, in what the AI can still do once people start answering.
| AI feature | ProProfs Quiz Maker | Mentimeter |
|---|---|---|
| Quiz generation from a prompt |
✓AI Quiz Builder writes a complete, ready-to-publish quiz from a topic
|
✓AI quiz generator builds a quiz from a prompt, topic, or document in seconds
|
| Editing assistance |

|
–Not offered
|
| Live response clustering |
–Not built for live-session facilitation
|
✓Menti AI groups live open-text responses from the room in real time
|
ProProfs Quiz Maker: AI writes the quiz from a topic, refines any question on demand, coaches learners with feedback on wrong answers, grades essays against a custom rubric, flags AI-written responses, and summarizes your reports, all unlimited on every plan including free.
Mentimeter: AI drafts a deck or quiz from a prompt, and Menti AI groups live open-text responses from the room in real time, which is genuinely useful during a session. It does not grade essays, coach learners on wrong answers, or summarize reports.
4. Reporting and Analytics
Once a quiz or session wraps up, what you can actually do with the results matters just as much as the questions you asked. Here’s how each platform reports back.
| Reporting feature | ProProfs Quiz Maker | Mentimeter |
|---|---|---|
| Real-time reporting |
✓Track progress and pull reports while takers are still mid-quiz
|
✓Results visualize live on screen as the room answers
|
| Report depth |
✓Individual, group, and team level: scores, time per question, pass/fail trends, question difficulty, taker IP
|
–Per-session results, with a segmentation feature on paid plans
|
| Grade book |
✓Total points and average score across every quiz for a group, in one view
|
–Not offered
|
| Exports |

| Sharing without an account |
✓Reports can be shared with people who don’t have a ProProfs account
|
–Not documented
|
| LMS data record |

|
–Not offered
|
ProProfs Quiz Maker: Reports run at individual, group, and team level, with a grade book, time per question, pass/fail trends, question difficulty, and IP tracking, exportable to Excel, CSV, or PDF and shareable with people who have no ProProfs account.
Mentimeter: Results appear live on screen as the room answers, with bar charts, word clouds, and scatter plots that show a presenter what the room thinks right now. Reporting is per session, with Excel, PDF, and image export, and no grade book or cross-session trend view.
5. Quiz Sharing and Distribution
Getting a quiz in front of the right audience works differently depending on where that audience is: already live on a call, or spread across a website, an LMS, or an email list.
| Distribution feature | ProProfs Quiz Maker | Mentimeter |
|---|---|---|
| Live meetings and webinars |
✓Connects seamlessly with WebinarNinja, a sibling ProProfs product, for meetings and webinars
|
✓Native apps inside Zoom and Microsoft Teams, a PowerPoint add-in, and Webex and Google Meet support
|
| Slide-deck embedding |
✓Embed a quiz as the final exam inside a larger online course
|
✓Embed PowerPoint or Google Slides decks into a Menti presentation on Pro
|
| Website and page embedding |
✓Embed code, iframe, a dedicated WordPress plugin, other LMS platforms, and custom HTML sites
|
–Not built for standalone website embedding
|
| Classroom or learner portal |

|

|
✓Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, and Brightspace, anonymous by default with gradebook sync
|
| Monetization |
✓Sell quizzes and courses directly via Stripe or the ProProfs gateway
|
–Not offered
|
ProProfs Quiz Maker: A quiz goes out by link, password-protected link, QR code, website embed, WordPress plugin, learner portal, or lead form, reaches people days after you build it, and can be sold through Stripe. For live meetings and webinars it connects with WebinarNinja.
Mentimeter: Native apps inside Zoom and Microsoft Teams plus a PowerPoint add-in let people vote without leaving the meeting window, which is the stronger in-call experience of the two.
6. Learner Experience
How a quiz feels to take, and whether it’s tied to a name or kept anonymous, says a lot about what each tool is really designed for.
| Experience feature | ProProfs Quiz Maker | Mentimeter |
|---|---|---|
| Practice vs. secure modes |
✓Practice mode and Secure Exam mode are switchable configurations on the same quiz
|
–One live mode, not built for graded retakes
|
| Anonymous participation |
–Not the default, since answers need to tie to a taker for grading
|
✓Responses anonymous by default, built for candid feedback
|
| Reactions and low-stakes input |
–Not a core feature
|
✓Heart, thumbs, question mark, and other quick reactions during a live session
|
| Community and discussion |
✓Built-in Q&A community lets learners comment on questions and discuss
|
✓Live, moderated Q&A during a session
|
| Personalized outcomes |
✓Branded, personalized results pages at completion
|
–Not offered
|
| Device access |
✓Works on tablet and phone in browser, no confirmed native offline app
|
✓Any device, no install or account needed to join
|
ProProfs Quiz Maker: Practice mode and Secure Exam mode are switchable settings on the same quiz, results pages are branded and personalized, and every answer ties to a named taker for grading and certification.
Mentimeter: Responses are anonymous by default and quick reactions are built in, which makes candid feedback easy in a live discussion. That design suits conversation and feedback moments more than graded tests.
7. Compliance Deadline Management
For teams that have to prove a training or certification deadline was actually met, this short section covers exactly what’s available.
| Compliance feature | ProProfs Quiz Maker | Mentimeter |
|---|---|---|
| Automated recertification |
✓Reassigns the same quiz for a scheduled retake before expiry, with reminder notifications
|
–Not offered
|
| Audit-ready reports |
✓Downloadable compliance reports on demand
|
–Not offered
|
ProProfs Quiz Maker: The same quiz reassigns for a scheduled retake before a certificate expires, with reminder notifications and downloadable audit-ready reports on demand, replacing a spreadsheet and a recurring calendar reminder.
Mentimeter: It is built for live sessions rather than recurring certification, so retake scheduling, expiry tracking, and compliance reports are outside its scope.
8. Beyond a Quiz Tool
Both platforms offer more than just quizzes. Here’s how each one grows to support your team as your needs expand.
| Ecosystem | ProProfs Quiz Maker | Mentimeter |
|---|---|---|
| Depth of add-on tools |
✓Built-in Q&A comes standard, and dedicated Survey Maker, White Label, and E-commerce add-ons unlock full standalone products, including the ability to sell quizzes and courses directly through Stripe
|
–Poll, Word Cloud, Q&A, and Survey are included as slide types in one plan; no way to sell quizzes or courses
|
| Full LMS |
✓Bundled free inside ProProfs Training Maker, a complete learning management system
|
–No bundled LMS, integrates with existing ones instead
|
| Wider suite |
✓Part of the Smarter Employee Learning Suite and People Development Suite alongside ProProfs Training Maker, WebinarNinja, and Knowledge Base
|
–Standalone engagement platform
|
ProProfs Quiz Maker: A team that outgrows quizzes can add a full LMS, courses, and classrooms without switching products, since ProProfs Quiz Maker comes free inside ProProfs Training Maker. Survey Maker, White Label, and E-commerce add-ons extend it further, and WebinarNinja sits in the same learning suites.
Mentimeter: A team that only ever needs polls, word clouds, quizzes, and surveys for live sessions gets them all as slide types in the core plan, with no separate purchase needed for that lighter use case.
Which Should You Choose?
Here is the simplest way to decide.
Pick ProProfs Quiz Maker if
- You’re creating quizzes and assessments for business, training, or education
- You need grading, certificates, or a secure, proctored exam
- You want a question bank and AI that keeps working after the quiz is submitted
Pick Mentimeter if
- You run live meetings, classes, or events and want the room engaged in real time
- You live inside Zoom, Teams, or PowerPoint and want polling built into the call
- You don’t need grading, certification, or exam security
One-line takeaway: Mentimeter can make a session feel lively for an hour. ProProfs Quiz Maker makes sure what happens in that hour can actually be graded, certified, and proven afterward, which is what most teams need once the meeting ends.
Migrating from Mentimeter to ProProfs Quiz Maker
Switching over doesn’t mean starting from scratch. Most teams move in an afternoon, especially when they bring existing question sets along instead of rebuilding everything by hand. The goal is to carry your content over, then turn on the grading and security features Mentimeter never had.
- Step 1: Export what you have. Pull your existing Mentimeter question sets and results from your account before you start rebuilding.
- Step 2: Rebuild with bulk import. Use ProProfs’ Excel, Word, or file-to-quiz import so you’re not retyping every question by hand.
- Step 3: Add the controls Mentimeter didn’t have. Turn on proctoring, tab-switch blocking, time limits, or IP restriction for anything that needs to be a real exam now.
- Step 4: Set up your classroom or groups. Recreate your audience as groups or subgroups so reports and certificates route correctly.
- Step 5: Run a pilot, then cut over. Test one quiz end to end, compare the report against what you used to get from Mentimeter, and switch fully once it matches.
The Buyer’s Guide: ProProfs Quiz Maker vs Mentimeter
TL;DR
- Mentimeter is a live audience engagement tool for meetings, classrooms, and events. ProProfs Quiz Maker is an assessment platform for business, training, and education.
- ProProfs Quiz Maker adds grading, proctoring, certificates, and compliance recertification that Mentimeter does not have.
- Mentimeter leads on native in-call apps for Zoom and Microsoft Teams and on anonymous-by-default live participation; ProProfs Quiz Maker pairs with WebinarNinja for live meetings and webinars.
- Mentimeter holds ISO 27001 as a company. ProProfs Quiz Maker is GDPR and CCPA compliant and runs on SOC 2 Type 2 hosting infrastructure, but does not hold its own ISO certificate today.
- Pricing models differ: ProProfs bills per active quiz taker, Mentimeter bills per presenter seat on an annual-only basis.
Which one should you actually buy?
Buy based on what happens after someone answers your last question. If the next step is a grade, a certificate, a compliance record, or a hiring decision, ProProfs Quiz Maker is built around that step. If the next step is simply moving on to the next slide of your meeting, Mentimeter’s live-session design is the better fit.
How do the pricing models actually compare?
ProProfs Quiz Maker charges $19.99 per 100 active quiz takers a month, a model that tracks how many people actually take a quiz, not how many people build one. Mentimeter charges per presenter seat, from roughly $12 to $18 a month on Basic (listed prices vary by source and region) up to $24.99 on Pro, billed annually with no monthly option. A single trainer running quizzes for a large audience will usually find ProProfs’ per-taker model cheaper; a large team of individual presenters each running their own sessions may find Mentimeter’s per-seat model more predictable. Always recheck both vendors’ live pricing pages before budgeting, since both change these numbers.
Quiz, exam, or form: which category am I actually in?
A quiz that needs to be graded, certified, or tied to someone’s employment record is an exam, and belongs on ProProfs Quiz Maker. A quiz meant to warm up a room, check the temperature of a meeting, or add energy to a class for ten minutes is a live engagement activity, and belongs on Mentimeter. Mixing up the two categories is a common reason a team ends up frustrated with either product.
How do the AI tools actually differ day to day?
Both AIs write a first draft well. ProProfs’ AI keeps working after that: it grades essays against a rubric, coaches a taker on a wrong answer, flags AI-written responses, and summarizes a report the moment you open it. Mentimeter’s AI is strongest inside the live moment itself, building a whole deck from a prompt and grouping what a room just typed into an open text box in real time.
What should I know about security before I commit?
Mentimeter holds an ISO 27001 certification as a company, alongside GDPR compliance. ProProfs Quiz Maker is GDPR and CCPA compliant and runs on AWS and IBM infrastructure with SOC 2 Type 2 reports, encryption in transit, daily backups, and a web application firewall. Those SOC 2 reports belong to the hosting providers rather than to ProProfs, and ProProfs does not currently hold its own ISO 27001 certificate. For buyers with specific legal or compliance requirements, ProProfs also offers a negotiated Enterprise Security license covering data ownership and a recovery data vault, which is a contract option rather than a certificate. Neither vendor publicly documents a HIPAA business associate agreement on the pages we reviewed. If your procurement team requires an audited ISO 27001 certificate specifically, confirm current status directly with each vendor.
What does reporting actually look like once the session is over?
ProProfs Quiz Maker produces individual, group, and team-level reports, a grade book across every quiz a group has taken, and question-level difficulty analysis, exportable to Excel, CSV, or PDF. Mentimeter exports session results to Excel, PDF, or image, with a segmentation feature on its paid plans, but has no grade book or cross-session trend view. If you need to prove a training program’s outcomes over months, that gap matters.
What kind of support will I actually get?
ProProfs publishes a phone number, 855-PROPROF (855-776-7763), and a real person answers 24 hours a day by phone, chat, and email, plus a dedicated success manager on Business plans. Mentimeter provides chat and email support through its help center, with dedicated onboarding reserved for Enterprise customers. If you need a human on the phone at an odd hour before a deadline, that gap is the one you feel.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best Mentimeter alternative for training and certification?
ProProfs Quiz Maker is the closer fit if training or certification is the goal, since it adds grading, proctoring, certificates, and automated recertification that Mentimeter does not offer. If your need is strictly live, in-room engagement, Mentimeter still does that job well.
Is there a free Mentimeter alternative with more question types?
ProProfs Quiz Maker’s forever-free plan lets you create unlimited quizzes with AI, at up to 12 questions per quiz, across 20+ question types including audio and video response. Mentimeter’s free tier is limited to 2 question slides and 5 quiz slides, with 50 participants a month.
Who are the other Mentimeter competitors worth knowing about?
For live audience engagement specifically, Slido and AhaSlides are commonly compared against Mentimeter. For quiz-first assessment and training, Kahoot, Typeform, and ClassMarker come up more often. ProProfs Quiz Maker sits closer to the second group, built around grading and certification rather than live polling.
Can I use ProProfs Quiz Maker for live meetings, the way I use Mentimeter?
Yes, in two ways. ProProfs Quiz Maker connects seamlessly with WebinarNinja, a sibling ProProfs product built for live meetings and webinars, and you can also share a quiz link or embed it during any meeting. It does not have a native Zoom or Teams app the way Mentimeter does, so if polling inside those tools is your main use case, Mentimeter’s native integrations are the closer fit for that specific job.
Which is more affordable at scale?
ProProfs Quiz Maker bills per active quiz taker at $19.99 per 100 a month, so cost scales with actual usage. Mentimeter bills per presenter seat, starting at roughly $12 to $18 a month on Basic and rising to $24.99 for Pro, on an annual-only commitment. Which is cheaper depends on whether your cost driver is the number of people presenting or the number of people being tested.
Is ProProfs Quiz Maker secure enough for certification exams?
It includes native proctoring, tab-switch blocking, IP restriction, and timed windows without needing a third-party add-on. ProProfs is GDPR and CCPA compliant and hosted on AWS and IBM infrastructure with SOC 2 Type 2 reports, though those reports belong to the hosting providers rather than to ProProfs, so confirm your specific compliance requirement before committing.
What are good interactive presentation alternatives if I need both live polls and secure exams?
Most tools specialize in one side or the other. A common setup is running Mentimeter for the live, in-meeting moments and ProProfs Quiz Maker for anything that needs to be graded, certified, or reported on afterward, rather than expecting either tool to do both jobs equally well.
Does ProProfs Quiz Maker replace Mentimeter for team meetings?
It depends on the meeting. For training, assessments, and anything that has to be graded or reported afterward, ProProfs Quiz Maker covers it, and it connects with WebinarNinja for live meetings and webinars. If you mostly want quick polls inside Zoom, Teams, or PowerPoint, Mentimeter’s native apps are the faster fit.
Straight Answers About Mentimeter
The pointed questions buyers ask, answered on the facts. Where Mentimeter is the better choice, it says so.
Does Mentimeter offer native proctoring or exam lockdown?
No. Mentimeter is built for live audience sessions, so it has no proctoring, tab-switch blocking, or IP restriction. Enterprise adds SSO participant verification and join settings, which control who joins a session rather than how an exam is taken. ProProfs Quiz Maker includes native proctoring, tab-switch blocking, copy and print disabling, and IP restriction.
Can Mentimeter grade essays or issue certificates?
No. Scoring is point-based with a live leaderboard, with no rubric or AI essay grading, and there are no certificates or expiry dates on any plan. ProProfs Quiz Maker grades essays with AI against a custom rubric and issues branded certificates with expiry dates.
Is Mentimeter’s free plan enough for regular use?
It is a good way to try the product, but the free plan caps you at 2 question slides, 5 quiz slides, and 50 participants a month, which is thin if you present regularly. ProProfs Quiz Maker’s forever-free plan lets you create unlimited quizzes with AI, at up to 12 questions per quiz.
Can I pay for Mentimeter month to month?
Not on paid plans. Basic and Pro are billed annually, with no month-to-month option, which is a real commitment for a team still evaluating fit. ProProfs Quiz Maker bills per active quiz taker each month and offers a 15-day money-back guarantee.
Does Mentimeter have a grade book or cross-session reporting?
Not that we found. Results are reported per session, with Excel, PDF, and image export. ProProfs Quiz Maker adds individual, group, and team reports, a grade book, and reports you can share with people who have no ProProfs account.
What does Mentimeter genuinely do better?
Three things, clearly. It ships native apps inside Zoom and Microsoft Teams plus a PowerPoint add-in, so people can vote without leaving the meeting window. Responses are anonymous by default, and its AI groups live open-text answers in real time. It also holds an audited ISO 27001 certificate, which ProProfs does not currently have. If any of these is a hard requirement, Mentimeter is the stronger pick.
