Best for live Q&A and polls at events
Pigeonhole Live gives presenters live Q&A, polls, word clouds and surveys that attendees join on their own devices, with add-ins for PowerPoint and Google Slides. The free plan stops at 100 participants and 1 user, and prices rise with the audience.
Who Pigeonhole Live is for
- Fits if you run Q&A at meetings or conferences, up to 100 people free
- Works for presenters who want it inside PowerPoint or Google Slides
Who Pigeonhole Live is not for
- Tight if your audience is over 100 or you need more than 1 user on free
- Pricey if you grow, as prices rise with participants and users and Standard is $150 a month
- Watch out: the page shows yearly totals only, not a monthly-billed price
- Watch out: AI translation is a paid add-on and Enterprise is sold through sales

Keep Pigeonhole Live, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Pigeonhole Live you would be making live video to hundreds of people at once. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 65 of the 89 other presentation tools we grade. It costs $156 a year.
What you could make
- Surveys: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Live video to hundreds of people at once.
- A slide editor.
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
- It plugs into other products, Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides and Zoom among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Pigeonhole Live’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
