A Klaxoon alternative for workshops, quizzes and collaborative whiteboards
Pomlet is a Klaxoon alternative for running workshops, quiz games and collaborative whiteboards in the browser; main differences: a cheaper plan for one host, at €9.90 a month, that welcomes up to 1,000 participants per session (Klaxoon Starter allows 20 people per activity) and participants joining with a nickname and PIN by default.
€9.90 a month for one host

For €9.90 a month, you get a complete collaborative whiteboard (sticky notes, shapes, drawing, connectors, voting and templates) and the whole quiz toolkit: polls, word clouds, idea boards and scored quizzes, live or self-paced. Pomlet also offers team play, an elimination mode and leaderboards. Expect a few fewer features and simpler enterprise management: single sign-on (SSO) isn’t available yet.
