Claryoo vs Mentimeter
Mentimeter needs a code at menti.com. Claryoo runs polls people answer in the meeting chat, reads the room, and writes up the outcome. Which fits your workshop?
Mentimeter and Claryoo both get people answering during a live session. They start from different places. Mentimeter is built around the presentation: you build an interactive deck, and the audience joins at menti.com with a code. Claryoo is built around the call: it joins your Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams session as a participant, people answer polls right in the meeting chat, and you get a private read on the room plus a summary when it ends.
TL;DR
Mentimeter is an interactive presentation platform. You build slides with live polls, word clouds, quizzes and Q&A, and participants respond on their phone or laptop through a code at menti.com. Free plan; paid plans for more features. See mentimeter.com/plans.
Claryoo is an AI co-host for live sessions. It runs polls, quizzes and volunteer picks that people answer in the meeting chat or on their phones in a room, puts every question from chat and voice on one board, shows you who's engaged and who's gone quiet, and hands you what was decided and who owes what the moment the session ends. Free plan with 2 hours a month; Starter $19, Pro $39. Start free, no card.
Pick Mentimeter when the slides are the session and you want results building on the shared screen: lectures, conference keynotes, big audience moments like a word cloud.
Pick Claryoo when you run workshops, trainings, member calls or coaching sessions on a video call and want people to answer without leaving it, a read on who has gone quiet, and the outcome written up for you.
What each tool does
Mentimeter
A presentation tool first. You build a deck in Mentimeter, or have it drafted for you, and add interactive slides: multiple choice, word clouds, quizzes, scales, open text and Q&A. When you present, the audience opens menti.com, types the code, and answers. Results render live on the screen you share. The strength is how visible the interaction is: the word cloud grows in front of everyone.
Claryoo
A co-host that joins your call. Before the session, describe it and Claryoo drafts your polls and quizzes in order; you can add your slides from a PDF. During the session, press Next and each poll launches in the meeting chat. People answer by typing a number, with no code, app or second screen. In a room, they join by QR on their phones instead, and you see which slide lost them. On your side only, Claryoo shows how many people are with you, who went quiet after the breakout, and which question has waited longest. When the call ends you get where it landed, what was decided, and the follow-ups you owe, by name.

FAQ
Is Claryoo a Mentimeter alternative? For sessions run on Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams, yes: it runs live polls and quizzes, and people answer in the meeting chat instead of at a separate site. It also reads the room and writes up the outcome, which Mentimeter doesn't. Claryoo works in the room too: people join by QR on their phones, and you see which slide lost them. If word clouds on a big screen are the point, Mentimeter is the better fit.
Do participants need to install anything? No. On a call, Claryoo joins as a participant and people answer by typing in the meeting chat. In a room, they scan a QR code and answer on their phones, with no app or sign-up.
Can I use my own slides? Yes. Add your slides from a PDF to a presentation, with polls and quizzes in between, and press Next as you go.
Does Claryoo record the call? It doesn't record video. Claryoo transcribes the call live to read the room and build your summary, and call audio is deleted automatically after 7 days.
Can I run both on the same call? Yes. They don't conflict.
