What EngageTime is
EngageTime helps organizers run interactive sessions and turn audience participation into feedback, contacts, and follow-up. Attendees can join in a browser from any device without installing an app. They can respond to live polls and quizzes, react with emoji, and submit questions anonymously. Questions can be upvoted and moderated. Sessions can collect ratings and comments, while engagement reports cover questions, poll responses, and learning outcomes. Speakers can share session materials and invite attendees to opt in to follow-up contact collection. Contacts can be exported or sent to a CRM through the API. EngageTime also supports Sessionize CSV session imports and provides a Microsoft PowerPoint add-in for displaying live polls. Event plans include session moderation and CSV exports; higher tiers add multi-track scheduling and branding. The maker presents the product for conferences, summits, workshops, training, and virtual or hybrid events. A desktop app can display audience reactions over a presentation. Plans range from a free tier to paid plans, including Plus at €9.00 per month and event options with larger session and attendee allowances.
