Compare · Microsoft Forms
A Microsoft Forms alternative for a live poll on the big screen.
One question, a QR code and results that move as the room votes. No account for voters, and a free plan for you.
In short
Microsoft Forms describes itself as a free tool for surveys, forms, polls and quizzes, and it sits inside the Microsoft 365 tools many teams already use. If your people live in Microsoft 365 and the survey is long, it is a natural fit. QR Polls is a smaller tool for the live moment: scan, vote, watch the results move. We could not read the rest of the Microsoft Forms details from its own page, so those cells link to it.
