    Quick decision

    Slido: when it makes sense.

    Excellent and free up to 100 participants. Beyond that, cost depends too much on volume to give a reliable figure without a quote.

    Keep if

    Your meetings or events stay under 100 participants: free already covers everything. You want live Q&A and polls with no heavy setup

    Challenge if

    You organize large-scale branded events: request a precise quote, online quoted rates aren't reliable

    Main limitation

    Paid rates aren't transparent online, worth checking via quote

    ToolTrim Analysis

    Our take on Slido.

    Slido adds live polls, Q&A and word clouds to a meeting or event, usable in video calls as well as in person. The free plan covers up to 100 participants with the essentials (polls, Q&A, quizzes), enough for a team meeting or small event.

    Beyond 100 participants, or for brand customization and advanced analytics, you need a paid plan. Quoted rates vary widely by source (from a few tens to several hundred dollars per month) because they depend on participant volume and enterprise features: better to request a precise quote based on your actual event size than rely on a generic figure.

    The AI angle

    Slido vs AI

    AI augments this tool
    Go further with AI

    Slido added an AI summary of live questions and polls, but remains the real-time interaction tool (Q&A, polls) during an event or meeting.

    Can AI replace it?

    Replace Slido with an AI? No: collecting live audience questions during an event remains a live interaction need AI assists without replacing. Verdict: AI augments feedback synthesis, live interaction remains the product.
