The Verdict
Edmodo is built for k12 teachers and students, with a focus on class-groups and assignments. Mentimeter targets educators and trainers and leads with live-polls and word-clouds.
Edmodo uses custom enterprise pricing, while Mentimeter starts at $11.99/mo — a tangible advantage for teams with a fixed budget.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Mentimeter edges out on user ratings (4.4 vs 3.8). While both are well-regarded, that gap reflects real differences in user satisfaction worth considering.
Bottom line: Mentimeter has a slight overall edge — but if free for all users matters most to you, Edmodo may still be the right call.
