Why teams switch

The problems Chooseday was built to solve

⏱️
Mentimeter requires a live session — your whole team present at once

Chooseday is async first. Share a link, set a deadline. Team members vote whenever they're online, across any timezone. No synchronous session required.

📊
Mentimeter shows results live — early votes anchor later ones

Chooseday keeps results hidden until the vote closes. Every voter has the same unbiased view. The result reflects genuine individual preferences, not groupthink.

📁
Mentimeter results disappear after the presentation

Every Chooseday decision is permanently archived — with the original options, the vote breakdown, and the declared winner. Revisit any decision months later.

What teams are saying

We used Mentimeter for team votes during all-hands meetings, but decisions made in a room with live results are just mob rule. Chooseday changed that — async, anonymous, and the result actually stands.

Mentimeter is great for keeping a conference audience awake. It's useless for actual team decision-making. Chooseday is what we use for anything real.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know

For team decisions — yes. Run the vote before the meeting so results are ready when you walk in. The discussion becomes about the result, not about collecting opinions in real time.

Chooseday is optimised for team decisions rather than live conference Q&A. For live event polling where the result is meant to be seen in real time on a big screen, Mentimeter is purpose-built for that use case.

In Chooseday, anonymous mode fully hides individual votes — even from the decision creator. In Mentimeter, "anonymity" depends on how the presenter sets up the session and which plan is used. Chooseday's anonymity is consistent and genuine.

Chooseday's free plan allows up to 5 active decisions with unlimited voters. Mentimeter's free plan limits you to 2 slides per presentation and includes branding on results. For team decisions, Chooseday's free plan is significantly more useful.
