In their own words
PollQR
PollQR creates mobile-friendly QR-code surveys and live polls that people can answer without installing an app. It collects responses and shows poll results as votes arrive. Live polls offer seven question types, including multiple choice, word cloud and ranking, for uses such as presentation polls, audience Q&A and live-judged competitions. Business surveys can include downloadable responses, email alerts, AI sentiment analysis and optional review prompts for happy customers. Browser-based workflows support PowerPoint, Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Slides without a presentation add-in. PollQR says responses can be downloaded in CSV or JSON; Pro includes CSV exports and webhooks. The Free plan provides one live poll. Pay-As-You-Go costs $2.99 a month, with up to 500 responses per poll and 90-day data retention. Pro is $19 a month after a 14-day trial. PollQR lists Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows support.
