Makeshapes vs. AhaSlides
Why you want Makeshapes over AhaSlides
AhaSlides makes a good presenter's session more engaging. But take the facilitator away and the tool stops working. Makeshapes does everything an engagement tool does—and keeps going where there's no expert in the room.
Trusted by teams at Zespri, Westpac, and One NZ to scale learning without scaling facilitators.
Same engagement tools, and then some.
Polls, live responses, and discussion prompts—plus music, drawing, and personalised follow-up most engagement tools never think about.
Works without a trained facilitator.
Auto-facilitation is built into the experience. A leader or peer with zero facilitation background runs a session as well as your best facilitator.
Learning that doesn't end at the session.
Captures each participant's commitments live and carries them into personalised, spaced reinforcement sequences.
One platform, every group, the same quality.
AhaSlides quality rises and falls with whoever's holding the deck. With Makeshapes, the facilitation lives in the platform—so a first-time host in Auckland delivers the same experience as a seasoned facilitator in London.
See the whole programme, not just one session.
AhaSlides gives a presenter solid analytics for their own session. Makeshapes consolidates every session—whoever ran it, wherever—into one centrally administered view.
AhaSlides answers "how do I make my session better?" Makeshapes answers "how does our organisation deliver consistent, high-impact learning at any scale—with or without a facilitator?"
