The StrawPoll alternative for a room full of phones.

Both make a poll in seconds without an account. QR Polls is built for the moment people are in front of you: a QR code they scan, a live results screen, printable posters, quizzes and Q&A, and no ads on your voters' phones.

TL;DR
StrawPoll is excellent for polls shared as a link in a chat, and its free plan takes unlimited votes (with ads shown to voters). QR Polls is built for polls people answer in person: it gives you a QR code, a projector view with live bars, posters and table tents, quiz games and audience Q&A, with no ads. The free plan takes up to 100 responses per poll; paid plans start at $5/mo.
