The Slido alternative for rooms that don't live in Webex.
Live polls, upvoted audience Q&A, word clouds and quiz games with leaderboards. Your audience joins by QR code, and the free plan needs no signup.
TL;DR
Both tools let an audience ask and upvote questions. Slido's moderation goes further today: it can hold questions for approval before they appear, and it lives inside Webex. If pre-approved Q&A inside a meeting suite is your core need, Slido is the safer pick. If you want QR-joined polls, Q&A and quiz games on whatever screen the room has, QR Polls is lighter and free to start.
