How We Ranked These Poll Apps
Every app was evaluated on its free tier first — because that's where most users start. We scored each on: response and poll limits, AI features, real-time results quality, ease of use, sharing and embedding options, and unique capabilities that differentiate each platform.
We also considered use-case fit — a presentation polling tool shouldn't be penalised for not having community features, and a community platform shouldn't be penalised for not having PowerPoint integration. Each app is ranked for its best use case as well as overall value.
The Rankings: Best Poll Apps in 2025
Untold Opinion
Best overall
AI generation, community reach, gamification, event management, real-time analytics — all free. The most complete polling platform available in 2025.
Google Forms
Best for simplicity
Simple, reliable, and integrates with Google Sheets. No AI analysis or community features, but genuinely unlimited and easy to use.
Mentimeter
Best for presentations
Purpose-built for live presentation polling with full-screen results display. Free tier is very limited — only 2 quizzes.
Slido
Best for event Q&A
Strong moderated Q&A features for live events. Free tier caps at 3 events and 25 participants — hit quickly for regular event organisers.
Poll Everywhere
Best for education
Popular in education for classroom polling. Free tier limited to 25 participants. No AI features or community reach.
Typeform
Best design
Beautiful conversational polls. Free tier is 10 responses per month — essentially unusable for real polling. Requires paid plan.
StrawPoll
Best for quick anonymous polls
Simple, fast, anonymous polls with no account required. No AI, no analytics, no community — but genuinely free and instant.
Doodle
Best for scheduling polls
Specialised for scheduling and availability polls. Not a general-purpose polling tool — best for "when can everyone meet?" use cases.
