The Verdict
Mentimeter is built for educators and trainers, with a focus on live-polls and word-clouds. Pitch targets startup pitches and sales decks and leads with real-time-collaboration and templates.
Pricing is close: Pitch starts at $8/mo versus $11.99/mo for Mentimeter — not a deciding factor on its own.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Feature-wise, Pitch offers broader built-in capabilities (7 features vs 6), while Mentimeter takes a more focused approach — which can mean a simpler, faster onboarding experience.
