## Key features

- **AI prompts:** Monthly AI prompts: 10 on Intro, 100 on Present, unlimited from Engage.
- **Reporting and attendance:** Reporting starts at Present; attendance management and importing participant groups start at Engage.
- **Branding:** Removing the Poll Everywhere logo, custom themes and custom usernames start at Teams.
- **Two experiences:** The site offers both the classic Poll Everywhere and a refreshed Poll Everywhere 2.0, each with its own join address.

## Good for

- Instructors and trainers who poll inside PowerPoint or Google Slides
- Presenters who need an audience of up to 700 without a custom quote
- Teams that want polling results reported by attendee

## Worth knowing

- The free Intro plan caps the audience at 40.
- Additional seats cost extra: $120, $294 and $499 a year on Present, Engage and Teams.
- These are the Business & non-profit prices; the page has a separate Education tab whose prices were not read.
- Present is sold annually only, and the Teams plan is the first to remove Poll Everywhere branding.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of Poll Everywhere you could make: surveys and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.

- You could make: Surveys and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: A slide editor.
- You could not: Several people working in it at the same moment.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
