What EngageWave is
EngageWave is a freemium web tool from EngageWave, headquartered in Delaware, USA, for adding audience interaction to presentations. It provides live polls, quizzes, word clouds, ratings, and Q&A. Polls show real-time voting in animated bar, pie, and donut charts. Q&A collects questions and lets participants upvote them, while ratings display star scores with live averages. Quizzes can use timed rounds, reveal correct answers, and show leaderboards. Audiences join with a six-digit code or QR scan without signing up. The Free plan costs nothing, billed 50 participants/month, and includes all question types, basic insights, quiz competitions, and code or QR entry. Basic costs $5 a month per presenter and adds unlimited participants, slide imports, exports, advanced charts, and session history. Pro costs $12 a month per presenter with branding and collaboration features. Enterprise lists SSO, API access, dedicated support, white-labeling, and team management.
