We spent time building and running real quizzes in both tools before writing a word of this, so here&rsquo;s exactly where they agree, where they don&rsquo;t, and which one actually fits what you&rsquo;re trying to do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lede\">ProProfs Quiz Maker and Mentimeter start from two different questions. ProProfs Quiz Maker asks, &ldquo;how do we make sure this quiz can be trusted?&rdquo;, 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, &ldquo;how do we make this room feel alive right now?&rdquo;, and builds around live polls, quizzes, word clouds, and Q&amp;A that light up a shared screen the moment people respond.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lede\">Both will get a working quiz in front of people within minutes. <b>The gap opens once that quiz needs to be trusted rather than just answered:<\/b> 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&rsquo;s falling behind. That&rsquo;s where the two products part ways, and it&rsquo;s what the rest of this guide walks through.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"herochoose\">\n<div class=\"hc pp\">\n<h3>Choose ProProfs Quiz Maker<\/h3>\n<p>To build graded, certified, or secure exams for training, compliance, and hiring, with AI that grades essays and summarizes reports, not just writes questions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hc tl\">\n<h3>Choose Mentimeter<\/h3>\n<p>To run live meetings, classes, or events where the room reacts in real time, with quizzes, polls, word clouds, and Q&amp;A inside Zoom, Teams, or PowerPoint, and no need for grading, certificates, or exam security.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n\n<section>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"At_a_Glance\"><\/span>At a Glance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"intro-line\">Before we get into each feature area in detail, here&rsquo;s how ProProfs Quiz Maker and Mentimeter compare across the entire platform, from authoring and AI to security, reporting, and support.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tablewrap\"><table><thead><tr><th>What matters<\/th><th class=\"pp\">ProProfs Quiz Maker<\/th><th class=\"tl\">Mentimeter<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody>\n<tr><td class=\"feat\">Primary job<\/td><td class=\"cell win-pp\" data-label=\"ProProfs Quiz Maker\"><div class=\"cellwrap\"><span class=\"tick pp\">&#10003;<\/span><span class=\"val\">Quizzes and assessments for business, training, and education<\/span><\/div><\/td><td class=\"cell \" data-label=\"Mentimeter\"><div class=\"cellwrap\"><span class=\"tick no\">&ndash;<\/span><span class=\"val lesser\">Live audience engagement for meetings, classrooms, and events<\/span><\/div><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\"feat\">Free plan<\/td><td class=\"cell win-pp\" data-label=\"ProProfs Quiz Maker\"><div class=\"cellwrap\"><span class=\"tick pp\">&#10003;<\/span><span class=\"val\">Forever free plan lets you create unlimited quizzes with AI<\/span><\/div><\/td><td class=\"cell \" data-label=\"Mentimeter\"><div class=\"cellwrap\"><span class=\"tick no\">&ndash;<\/span><span class=\"val lesser\">2 question slides, 5 quiz slides, 50 participants a month<\/span><\/div><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\"feat\">Entry paid price<\/td><td class=\"cell win-pp\" data-label=\"ProProfs Quiz Maker\"><div class=\"cellwrap\"><span class=\"tick pp\">&#10003;<\/span><span class=\"val\">$19.99 per 100 active quiz takers a month<\/span><\/div><\/td><td class=\"cell \" data-label=\"Mentimeter\"><div class=\"cellwrap\"><span class=\"tick no\">&ndash;<\/span><span class=\"val lesser\">Roughly $12 to $18 per presenter a month, billed yearly only<\/span><\/div><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\"feat\">Question types<\/td><td class=\"cell win-pp\" data-label=\"ProProfs Quiz Maker\"><div class=\"cellwrap\"><span class=\"tick pp\">&#10003;<\/span><span class=\"val\">20+ types, including audio, video, essay, and document response<\/span><\/div><\/td><td class=\"cell \" data-label=\"Mentimeter\"><div class=\"cellwrap\"><span class=\"tick no\">&ndash;<\/span><span class=\"val lesser\">Quiz scoring covers multiple choice, true\/false, and open ended<\/span><\/div><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\"feat\">AI capabilities<\/td><td class=\"cell win-pp\" data-label=\"ProProfs Quiz Maker\"><div class=\"cellwrap\"><span class=\"tick pp\">&#10003;<\/span><span class=\"val\">AI builds a quiz from a topic, refines any question, coaches learners on wrong answers, grades essays against your rubric, flags AI-written answers, and summarizes reports;

ProProfs Quiz Maker is an assessment platform for business, training, and education.<\/li>\n<li>ProProfs Quiz Maker adds grading, proctoring, certificates, and compliance recertification that Mentimeter does not have.<\/li>\n<li>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.<\/li>\n<li>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.<\/li>\n<li>Pricing models differ: ProProfs bills per active quiz taker, Mentimeter bills per presenter seat on an annual-only basis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Which one should you actually buy?<\/h3>\n<p>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&rsquo;s live-session design is the better fit.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">How do the pricing models actually compare?<\/h3>\n<p>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&rsquo; per-taker model cheaper; a large team of individual presenters each running their own sessions may find Mentimeter&rsquo;s per-seat model more predictable. Always recheck both vendors&rsquo; live pricing pages before budgeting, since both change these numbers.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Quiz, exam, or form: which category am I actually in?<\/h3>\n<p>A quiz that needs to be graded, certified, or tied to someone&rsquo;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.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">How do the AI tools actually differ day to day?<\/h3>\n<p>Both AIs write a first draft well. ProProfs&rsquo; 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&rsquo;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.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">What should I know about security before I commit?<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">What does reporting actually look like once the session is over?<\/h3>\n<p>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&rsquo;s outcomes over months, that gap matters.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">What kind of support will I actually get?<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"tough\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"q\">What is the best Mentimeter alternative for training and certification?<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Is there a free Mentimeter alternative with more question types?<\/h3>\n<p>ProProfs Quiz Maker&#8217;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&#8217;s free tier is limited to 2 question slides and 5 quiz slides, with 50 participants a month.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Who are the other Mentimeter competitors worth knowing about?<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Can I use ProProfs Quiz Maker for live meetings, the way I use Mentimeter?<\/h3>\n<p>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&#8217;s native integrations are the closer fit for that specific job.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Which is more affordable at scale?<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Is ProProfs Quiz Maker secure enough for certification exams?<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">What are good interactive presentation alternatives if I need both live polls and secure exams?<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Does ProProfs Quiz Maker replace Mentimeter for team meetings?<\/h3>\n<p>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&#8217;s native apps are the faster fit.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Straight_Answers_About_Mentimeter\"><\/span>Straight Answers About Mentimeter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The pointed questions buyers ask, answered on the facts. Where Mentimeter is the better choice, it says so.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Does Mentimeter offer native proctoring or exam lockdown?<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Can Mentimeter grade essays or issue certificates?<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Is Mentimeter&#8217;s free plan enough for regular use?<\/h3>\n<p>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&#8217;s forever-free plan lets you create unlimited quizzes with AI, at up to 12 questions per quiz.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Can I pay for Mentimeter month to month?<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Does Mentimeter have a grade book or cross-session reporting?<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">What does Mentimeter genuinely do better?<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<div class=\"finalcta\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ready_to_Upgrade_Your_Quiz_Experience\"><\/span>Ready to Upgrade Your Quiz Experience?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Use ProProfs Quiz Maker to create secure quizzes, automate grading, and track learner performance easily.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ctarow\"><a class=\"btn primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/quiz-school\/register\/?demo\" target=\"_blank\">Try It Free<\/a><a class=\"btn secondary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/quiz-school\/register\/\" target=\"_blank\">Get a Demo<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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&rsquo;t built for it.
