Mentimeter alternative for moderated live Q&A

Compare Questro as a Mentimeter alternative for moderated event Q&A: collect, approve, pin, and display audience questions with clean screen control from one browser workspace.

Why event teams compare Mentimeter and Questro

Mentimeter is an interactive presentation platform. Its strength is engaging an audience with live polls, quizzes, surveys, word clouds, and presentation slides during a talk. Questro focuses on the moderated Q&A workflow: collecting audience questions through a browser link, approving and pinning them privately, and showing only approved questions on a clean public display, beside the rest of the live event toolkit. The right choice depends on whether you need an interactive presentation platform or focused moderated Q&A with event-screen control.

Mentimeter vs Questro at a glance

Mentimeter offers interactive presentations with polls, quizzes, surveys, word clouds, and slides, with Q&A available alongside the broader audience interaction suite, and it is designed around the presenter view and interactive slides shown to the room. In Questro, Q&A is the core workflow: approve, reject, pin, mark answered, upvote, and control what appears on screen, with private moderator controls separated from a clean public question display link for venue screens. Questro does not offer polls, quizzes, or word clouds, and Q&A sits beside Timer, Teleprompter, and AI captions in one browser workspace.

When Mentimeter is the better fit

Choose Mentimeter when live polls, quizzes, surveys, or word clouds are central to the session, when you want interactive presentation slides built into the tool, when audience interaction visuals are the main engagement format, or when Q&A is one part of a broader interactive deck.

When Questro is the better fit

Choose Questro when moderated audience questions are the priority, when you want approved questions only on a clean public display, when attendees should submit questions from a browser link or QR code, or when the same event also needs Timer, Teleprompter, or AI captions.

Switching from Mentimeter to Questro

Start with the engagement format: decide whether the session is an interactive presentation or a moderated Q&A with clean screen control, and confirm whether polls, quizzes, or word clouds are required. Then create the event and Q&A session in Questro, share the question link or QR code with the audience, approve, pin, and mark questions answered from the private moderator view, open the public question display link on the venue screen, and run a quick rehearsal before the session starts.
