UNIQUE FEATURES
What’s different about Genially?
Unlimited design freedom
Most Mentimeter presentations, or Mentis, look pretty much identical, although limited customization is available with paid plans. Genially lets you get more creative. Build one-of-a-kind experiences that keep participants engaged and bring your topic to life.
Customize every element including the colors, buttons, fonts, and layout.
Thousands of professional templates and easy-to-edit design resources.
Tell a captivating story with animated slide transitions, visual effects and more.
More interactive
A Genially live session involves more than a barrage of questions. Alternate audience questions with individual activities to vary the tempo, enhance understanding, and help learners connect with the material.
Reinforce learning with drag-and-drop, pop-up windows, click-to-reveal, and other interactive elements.
Make the session more immersive with video, music, and sound effects.
Use extra game elements to enhance engagement and keep things fun and dynamic.
Better for asynchronous learning
Genially offers powerful course authoring and content creation software — as well as audience response tools. Design incredible content, assess learners, and host live sessions, all on the same platform.
Flexible delivery: Use the same materials for instructor-led, self-paced, or blended learning.
Display leaderboard and poll responses in both live and asynchronous modes.
Engagement metrics, learner tracking, and post-session reports.
More reasons to choose Genially over Mentimeter
More generous free plan
All design resources, interactive elements, and animations are included in the free plan. Plus there’s no limit to the number of questions or slides.
Professional templates
As well as a library of design resources, Genially offers over 1,000 free templates for everything from onboarding presentations to virtual escape rooms.
Animations
Make presentations more visually engaging with animated slide transitions, timed and click-trigger animations, and fun effects like balloons or confetti.
LMS integration
Genially integrates seamlessly with all popular Learning Management Systems via LTI 1.3 and SCORM 1.2 standards, plus a direct integration with Google Classroom.
Free slide imports
Import presentations from Powerpoint, Google Slides, or Canva and make them interactive in Genially. Unlike Mentimeter, slide imports are included with Genially’s free plan.
Free post-session reports
To export data from Mentimeter to Excel you’ll need to subscribe to a paid plan. Genially automatically generates a report at the end of the session, free version included.
Gamification
Advanced gamification tools help you motivate and engage participants. Try timers, randomization, sound effects, and game widgets like Roll the dice or Flip the coin.
Choose your style
Feel like Kahoot is for kids and Mentimeter is for business meetings? Genially does both. Fun, formal, corporate, academic; you can customize the look and feel of the entire session.
More than a polling tool
Genially lets you build any type of interactive content imaginable: infographics, eLearning courses, marketing assets, games, standalone websites — all with the same account.
