The difference

Slido inserts polling slides into the deck, then needs its desktop app on the computer you present from. Their limitations page says PowerPoint Online, PowerPoint Viewer, and PowerPoint Live are not supported. Tablets are not supported either.

If you present on a different laptop, that laptop needs the install too. Repoll is a PowerPoint add-in. The audience joins from a phone with a code, a name, and a work email.

The roster

The useful file is who was in the room. The free plan exports attendees, votes, and questions, up to 200 people a month. Results wear the account logo and colors from the organization name.

When to stay with Slido

Stay if every presenting laptop already has the installer and you want their holding slide in the deck. If the room blocks that install, or the deck is in PowerPoint on the web, the install is the blocker.
