The Poll Everywhere alternative your audience joins with a camera.
QR-joined polls, live word clouds, upvoted Q&A and quiz games with leaderboards. Free plan with every feature; no signup needed.
TL;DR
Poll Everywhere is the classroom incumbent with a deeper feature set — slide add-ons, SMS voting, LMS integrations — and pricing that reflects it. QR Polls is a younger, simpler tool: if what you actually run is QR-joined polls and live trivia, we do that well for a lot less.
