What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

2.2

GPA, above 18 of the 51 other presentation tools we grade

Poll Everywhere lets a presenter ask polls and questions that an audience answers from phones or laptops, with results shown live. The site says polls can be embedded in PowerPoint, Google Slides, Canva and PDFs. Plans are sorted by audience size, AI prompts, seats and branding, with separate education plans.

To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Poll Everywhere, taken from its own pages and our grades.

You build questions and link them into your slide software before you present.

Who Poll Everywhere is for

  • Fits if you ask a room of up to 40 questions from inside your slides
  • Works for presenters who need 700 people on one poll, on Present

Who it is not for

  • Tight if you stay free: 40 people in the audience and 10 AI prompts a month
  • Pricey if you want to drop the Poll Everywhere logo, as that starts at Teams, $84 a month for 2 seats
  • Skip it if you want monthly billing at the low end, as Present is annual only
  • Watch out: these are business prices, and the Education tab has its own list that we did not read

Good to know

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?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

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.

What you could make

  • Surveys and reports: an app builder makes these well.

What you could not

  • A slide editor.
  • Several people working in it at the same moment.
  • AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.

What this rests on. Poll Everywhere’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.
