    Our take

    Understanding 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.
