PollSlide
PollSlide adds live polls, async surveys, graded quizzes and study sets alongside presentations, with audience responses appearing live. Its suite includes PollSlide, SurveySlide, QuizSlide, StudySlide and PresentSlide, and it runs on the web and macOS. Participants can scan a QR code or visit pollslide.com/join and enter a code without an app or account. Question types include single choice, multi-select, ratings, word clouds and free text. Polly can draft question sets from a topic or notes, while AI Insights summarizes open-text responses into themes and sentiment. Reports include results by question and participant, and responses can be exported to CSV. PollSlide works alongside Keynote, PowerPoint and PDFs; the free Mac Companion overlays live results, while the PowerPoint add-in is listed as coming soon. The Mac Companion requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later and supports Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. The free plan includes three presentations, small audiences and a monthly Polly AI allowance. Paid plans include 20 credits for $8 a month and 500 credits for $100 a month, with credits that roll over and never expire.
