Mentimeter alternative: live polls vs QR prizes

Mentimeter shines in presentations: live polls, word clouds, questions to the speaker and results that appear on screen instantly. Its goal is audience participation during a talk.

PrizeQR has a different goal: to reward. Each person scans a QR and wins something right away, with control over which prizes remain. If you're after engagement with a reward — at a booth, event or venue — and not measuring opinions in a talk, here's the comparison.
