Stop tool-switching during your lesson
Mentimeter excels at standalone polls, word clouds and quizzes that you run alongside another presentation tool. Lectame integrates the same interaction elements directly into the slides — you never have to switch between tools. On top of that, Lectame generates the complete presentation with AI and offers layered depth for differentiation. Mentimeter is an interaction layer; Lectame is a complete teaching platform.
Where Mentimeter shines
Mentimeter has grown into the standard for standalone interaction in business and educational sessions. It has a polished interface for word clouds, polls and short quizzes, and is well known among participants — many people recognise "go to menti.com and type this code".
Its greatest strength is flexibility: you can use Mentimeter alongside any other presentation tool (PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides). For anyone who only wants to add the occasional poll to an existing flow, that's handy.
Where Lectame stands out
- One tool, no switching. Polls, word clouds and quizzes live inside your slides — no second browser tab to switch to at the critical moment.
- AI builds the presentation too. Mentimeter only provides the interaction — with Lectame the presentation comes free, generated from your topic.
- Layered depth for differentiation. Mentimeter is interaction only; Lectame supports layered teaching — multiple levels within a single lesson.
- EU servers + GDPR-safe. Students don't hand over an email; session codes are enough.
- Pedagogically grounded. Theory, Case, Quiz Flow — not just slides with polls slapped on.

Frequently asked questions
How does Lectame differ from Mentimeter?+
Mentimeter is an interaction layer you run alongside your presentation — you switch between tabs. Lectame integrates the same polls, quiz questions and word clouds directly into the slides, plus AI generation and layered depth. One tool instead of three.
Do polls and word clouds work just as well in Lectame?+
Yes. Lectame supports polls, word clouds, open questions, multiple choice quizzes, and pin-the-spot interactions. Participants join with a session code or QR and see the question on their phone. Real-time visualisation on the main screen.
Is there a free version?+
Yes. Lectame is free to use without a credit card. You can generate a first presentation without an account. For more advanced features there is a Pro plan.
Does it work with large groups?+
Yes. A session can have hundreds of participants at once. For very large events (>500) we recommend getting in touch for capacity tuning.
Can I import my Mentimeter content?+
Currently there is no direct Mentimeter import. You can however import a PowerPoint in which you previously embedded Mentimeter, and rebuild the interaction in Lectame — usually faster than your original setup.
When is Mentimeter a better choice?+
If you have an existing PowerPoint flow you don't want to leave and only want to add occasional polls. For teachers who are already looking for a complete tool and teach weekly, Lectame usually makes more sense.
