Simply Voting runs secure online elections, priced per election by the number of eligible voters. It's built for formal votes, so it won't do general surveys, and telephone voting, nominations and weighted votes cost extra. - **Value for money: C.** $200 per election for up to 250 voters, rising per voter after that. That's priced per election rather than monthly, so we've set it in the middle. - **Free plan and trial: D.** Only elections with 10 eligible voters or fewer are free, which is a test run, not a plan anyone can live on. - **Features: C.** Election manager, voter authentication, anonymous verifiable ballots, several languages and phone or paper options. It does that one job fully, a smaller job than a survey tool. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You set up each election yourself, or pay for a managed one. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only on the listing, with no integrations named. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

You could make the core of Simply Voting for yourself: forms and reports. Whether that is worth the price is your call. - You could make: Forms and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could make: It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
