What is Carrd?
Carrd Analytics adds a 90-day view; the changelog stays small and steady.
Carrd's visible record is short, terse entries. Deleted sites land in a Trash folder for three days, or fourteen on Pro, signup forms post directly to Resend, and Prefill Reply-To now fills the sender's name. November added a Leaves background pattern and a Last 90 days period in Carrd Analytics.
What is Mentimeter?
Mentimeter now builds a Menti from a chat prompt in Claude or ChatGPT
Mentimeter's last two digests reposition the product. September relaunched Menti as one suite with three modes: live, async and over time. October added MCP connectors for Claude and ChatGPT that ask for audience, tone, language and slide count, build the Menti in the user's account and return a link. Earlier in the year came grid view for slides, AI takeaways on results, and the Menti Pulse closed beta inside Microsoft Teams.
Carrd vs Mentimeter: editorial side-by-side
Carrd
5.0DESIGN
Carrd Analytics adds a 90-day view; the changelog stays small and steady.
◆ Current state
Carrd's visible record is short, terse entries. Deleted sites land in a Trash folder for three days, or fourteen on Pro, signup forms post directly to Resend, and Prefill Reply-To now fills the sender's name. November added a Leaves background pattern and a Last 90 days period in Carrd Analytics.
◆ Where it's heading
The cadence is small polish on a mature builder: forms, dashboard conveniences and design assets. Nothing in the entries points to a structural change.
◆ Prediction
More small additions to forms and design patterns are the likely next entries; the changelog is too sparse to predict anything larger.
Mentimeter
2.5DESIGN
Mentimeter now builds a Menti from a chat prompt in Claude or ChatGPT
◆ Current state
Mentimeter's last two digests reposition the product. September relaunched Menti as one suite with three modes: live, async and over time. October added MCP connectors for Claude and ChatGPT that ask for audience, tone, language and slide count, build the Menti in the user's account and return a link. Earlier in the year came grid view for slides, AI takeaways on results, and the Menti Pulse closed beta inside Microsoft Teams.
◆ Where it's heading
AI now sits at both ends of a session: creation from a chat assistant, and summaries of what the audience said afterwards. The suite framing points the product beyond the single live presentation toward ongoing team listening.
◆ Prediction
The entries do not say whether Pulse has left closed beta or whether the MCP connectors cover the async and over-time modes; either would be the next logical step.
