Compare · Google Forms
A Google Forms alternative for polls the room answers live.
Put a QR code on the screen and show the results as votes land, with no account for voters. For a long survey with many questions, a form tool is still the right fit.
In short
Google Forms is part of Google Workspace, and its own page says it shows automated charts in real time. For a long survey, a signup sheet or an exam, a form is the right fit and we do not try to replace it. QR Polls is for the live moment: one question on a big screen, a QR code, and results that move as the room votes. Google's page does not say whether Forms is free or whether respondents need an account, so those cells link to Google.
