ShuffleTurn at a glance

ShuffleTurn is a free web app for running live Q&A, polls, quizzes and word clouds: the host shares a link or QR code, and the audience answers from their phones with no signup.

Free to use. No signup for hosts or participants by default. Works in any phone browser, with nothing to install.

Features and limits
Feature	What you get
Price	Free. A paid plan is planned but not available yet.
Signup	Not required for hosts or participants by default. A host can ask for names or require login.
Devices	Participants join from a phone browser using a link, QR code or short join code.
Live Q&A	Written questions, upvoting, moderation, pinning, anonymous questions and a big-screen display view.
Poll question types	Multiple choice (single or multi-select), quiz with points, rating, open text, word cloud and ranking.
Quiz scoring	A correct answer and a point value per question, with a leaderboard. No per-question timer.
Results	The host can reveal or hide results. Q&A and poll results export as CSV.

Not included	Slide decks, templates, custom branding, translations, or PowerPoint, Teams and Zoom integrations.
Quiz format	No countdown timer and no speed bonus, so it is closer to a scored poll than a game show.

Common questions about this comparison

Is ShuffleTurn's Live Q&A actually free?

Yes. Live Q&A (submission, upvoting, moderation, pinning, big-screen display, QR join, anonymous join) and polls are free to use, and hosts and participants do not need to sign up. Slido also has a free Basic plan, which listed a 100 participant cap and limited moderation as of October 2026. Check Slido's site for current terms.

Does ShuffleTurn support polls, quizzes, or word clouds like Slido?

Yes. Polls support multiple choice, quiz (points and a leaderboard, no per-question timer), rating, open text, word cloud and ranking questions. The host can reveal or hide results. What we do not have is slide decks, templates, custom branding or themes, translations, or integrations with PowerPoint, Teams or Zoom. If you rely on those, Slido is the better fit.

Why would I pick ShuffleTurn over Slido?

If live Q&A plus polls, quizzes and word clouds covers your session, ShuffleTurn is free with no seat-based pricing and no signup for anyone. If you need integrations, branding, templates, translations or enterprise SSO, Slido is the more complete, mature product.
