Compare Questro as a Slido alternative for moderated event Q&A: collect, approve, pin, and display audience questions from one browser workspace.
Slido is a strong audience interaction platform for polls, quizzes, surveys, word clouds, and Q&A, and it works well for many meetings and presentations. Questro is built for the live-room version of Q&A: attendees submit questions from their phones, a moderator approves the queue, an operator manages the public display, and speakers answer one question at a time. The comparison usually comes down to what the event team needs around the questions. If broad audience engagement formats are the goal, Slido covers more ground. If the goal is a moderated question screen with private controls, plus a stage timer, teleprompter, and AI captions in the same workspace, Questro is the closer fit.
Slido is primarily audience interaction software spanning polls, quizzes, surveys, word clouds, and Q&A, with anonymous questions, live or advance collection, and moderation publicly documented for Professional and higher plans. Questro is a live event display and control toolkit: audience questions arrive through a browser link or QR code, and moderation includes approval, rejection, pinning, answered state, upvotes, and public display controls. Operator workflows differ too: Questro keeps private operator and control links separate from the public display link the room sees. Polls and quizzes are core to Slido and not the main focus of Questro. For one-off events, Slido offers one-time plans, while Questro offers a 7-Day Event Pass at $99 for one event.
Choose Slido when polls, quizzes, surveys, word clouds, and Q&A belong in the same audience interaction workflow, when presentation and meeting integrations are central to how your team runs sessions, or when audience engagement is the main product category you are buying. Questro does not try to replace Slido's full audience interaction suite, and teams that rely on those formats are usually better served by keeping them.
Choose Questro when moderated live Q&A is the main job, attendees should submit through a browser link or QR code with nothing to install, and moderators need private controls separate from the public display. Questro also fits when the same event needs a stage Timer, Teleprompter, or AI Interpreter captions, because all four tools run from one browser workspace with display links for the room and control links for the people running it.
Switching is mostly a short event runbook: create the event in Questro, open the Q&A control link for the moderator or operator, put the display link on the room screen, share the attendee question link or QR code, and run a short rehearsal with sample questions before the session. The habit of collecting and reviewing questions stays the same; only the links your team uses on event day change.
Questro has a Free plan that includes up to 50 Q&A questions, Pro at $19 per month or $15 per month billed annually, and a 7-Day Event Pass at $99 for one event. Pro and the Event Pass include unlimited Q&A questions and CSV export, and the Event Pass covers Timer, Teleprompter, and AI captions for the same event. For a single conference or town hall, that makes the per-event cost easy to predict without an annual commitment.
