Why Teachers Switch From Mentimeter
Common frustrations that bring users to SimpleQuizMaker
Optimized for presentations, not assessment
Mentimeter is primarily a live audience engagement tool. Its quiz mode is secondary, and deeper assessment features are absent.
No AI content generation
You build every question manually. No way to generate from existing course materials.
Expensive for quiz-only use cases
Mentimeter plans start at $11.99/month, which is steep if you only need quiz functionality.
Limited response types for learning
Word clouds and ranking questions are engaging but don't assess knowledge the way MCQ and short answer do.
