Build a poll in 30 seconds

Type a question, share a link. No sign-up needed to start.

What you get on every Pulseware poll.

Free includes nine question types, eight embed styles, a public results page that updates as votes arrive, server-generated QR codes, CSV export, and an anonymous-by-default voter privacy model.

Every way to use Pulseware Polls.

Each page below has a focused builder entry, a page-specific FAQ, and the comparison rows that matter for that use case. Start with the format closest to your audience.

  • Free online poll maker

    Type a question, add options, share a link. Nine question types, unlimited votes on the Free plan.

  • Anonymous poll maker

    No names, no emails, no raw IPs — just a one-way hash for abuse detection. Voters see a clear privacy notice.

  • Website poll widget

    Drop a single snippet on any page. Eight embed styles — inline, popover, slide-in, modal, banner and more.

  • Yes / no poll maker

    The fastest format: one question, two (or three) options, live result bars. Great for go/no-go calls.

  • QR code poll

    Server-generated QR on every poll. Print it on a poster, drop it on a slide, voters scan and vote in two taps.

  • Word cloud poll

    Ask "in one word" and watch the cloud build. Anonymous, live-updating, with optional moderation.

  • Live polling (coming P1)

    Presenter view with join codes, lobby and sub-second result updates. Async polls work today; live ships in P1.

  • Slido alternative

    Free async polls today, comparison-honest about what is missing vs Slido. Live presenter mode shipping in P1.

  • Mentimeter alternative

    Free word clouds, ranked-choice, NPS, image polls. No 2-question-per-presentation cap. Live mode in P1.

  • Poll Everywhere alternative

    Free async polls with no per-audience pricing. QR code voting, eight embed styles, CSV export on every plan.

Cross-link to surveys

Polls and surveys share the Pulseware builder, theme engine, embed library, and CSV export. When a poll is not enough, the survey side picks up where polls stop.

Common questions

The most common questions before building your first Pulseware poll.

What can I build with Pulseware Polls?
Single-choice polls, multi-select polls, yes/no polls, NPS-style ratings, image polls, ranked-choice polls, open-text polls and word clouds. The builder ships nine poll question types in P0 and reuses the same theme, embed, and CSV-export tools as Pulseware surveys.
Are votes really unlimited?
On the Free plan, yes — for legitimate polls. The plan covers 5 active polls and 1,000 votes per month. Above that, the Creator plan (A$19/month) lifts the cap to 25 active polls and 10,000 votes; Pro (A$49/month) goes to 100 active polls and 50,000 votes.
Can I embed a poll on my website?
Yes. Every Pulseware poll comes with eight embed styles — inline iframe, popover, full-width banner, sidebar, modal, slide-in, button and floating bubble — and uses the same embed snippets as Pulseware surveys. Drop the snippet in any HTML page and the poll appears.
Do voters need to sign up?
No. Voters answer anonymously by default. You can optionally collect an email or name on the lead-capture step, but that is always opt-in and shown to the voter with explicit consent text.
When do live polls ship?
Live (presenter-driven) polls land in P1, four weeks after the P0 async launch. The current build covers async polls — voters answer at any time and results update on the public results page. Join the waitlist on the live-polling page to be notified when presenter view ships.
How is this different from Slido or Mentimeter?
Slido and Mentimeter are presenter-first products built around live events. Pulseware Polls is async-first today (live shipping in P1) and free for unlimited votes within fair use. Compare directly on the Slido alternative and Mentimeter alternative pages.
