One of the most popular controversial areas in the field of education discussion in recent years is related to gamification platforms. Many researchers have conducted various researches on these platforms, according to the different conditions that prevailed in each research, so various results have been presented, and in some cases, these results have been completely contradictory to each other. One of the issues in this research is the lack of a comprehensive review on popular platforms in this field from the perspective of different users. For this reason, the opinion of the users of these platforms have been collected from social networks in this research and relevant processing has been done on them in order to infer the opinion related to the indicators of the relevant platform and what intensity it has in terms of polarity. Also, the emotional type of users has been eva‎luated in this research. This research contains 12 indicators for different platforms, 2 indicators to show the degree of positive or negative polarity and 28 indicators to show the type of user's feeling. After extracting the number of different indicators, divide them into 2 different categories to cluster the opinions and put similar opinions in the same clusters. With this work, denser clusters have been identified and the center of the cluster has been considered as the index of the most similar opinions. Finally, the cumulative opinions of users regarding different platforms have been compared and they have been compared with each other in order to reach a comprehensive view regarding the performance of platforms in different fields. The final result from the point of view of users in social networks is that Moodle, Kahoot and Quizlet platforms have been more successful in satisfying customers, but many users were not very satisfied with the Sprocle platform. It should be noted that the Gimkit platform has not performed well in some areas. In the end, there is an overview of the gaming mechanics used in the platforms along with their functional features, so the relationship between these mechanics and user feedback on different features is examined and the overall impact is summarized.
