8 Best Poll Software for B2B and Enterprise Teams in 2026: Compared

Which poll software should you choose?

Buying poll software for a company is a different exercise from picking a tool for one workshop. Procurement asks about SSO, data residency and audit trails. Finance asks what happens when the audience doubles.

That second question is the one that catches teams out. Most enterprise polling is priced per host or per participant, so the cost of a successful all-hands is not the cost of a quiet one. The eight tools below are compared on exactly that.

How the eight enterprise poll tools compare at a glance

The table sets out what each free plan covers, where paid pricing starts on monthly billing, and what each tool is built to handle at scale. Read it first, then go to whichever review fits your procurement case.

How we picked and ranked these eight tools

Everything here comes from the vendors' own pricing pages and plan limits, read in full. At enterprise scale the pricing model matters more than the poll types, because per-host and per-participant billing behave very differently as an organisation grows.

The ranking weighs what a full team costs, how the price moves with audience size, and what the vendor publishes openly. Most of these tools bill annually, so the monthly figures below represent a year-long commitment.

1. Slido, best for corporate events and Q&A

Slido is the tool most enterprises land on, and Q&A moderation is the reason. Questions arrive from the audience and get upvoted, then a moderator decides what reaches the stage, which is what a large all-hands actually requires.

Cisco ownership helps with procurement. Webex integration is native, it runs inside Teams and PowerPoint, and the security documentation is already familiar to most IT departments.

Paid plans are per host, billed annually: Engage at $17.50 a month, Professional at $75, and Enterprise at $200, which come to $210, $900, and $2,400 a year.

Best for: all-hands meetings and conferences where moderated Q&A is the point.

The catch: there is no monthly billing option at any tier, so one large event still commits you for a year.

G2 rating: 4.8/5, from 780 reviews, the highest score in this comparison on a substantial base.

2. Mentimeter, best for training and engagement

Mentimeter is built for sessions where people participate rather than just vote. Word clouds, scales, rankings and open text all update live, which suits training, workshops and internal education far better than a plain poll.

For learning and development teams running repeated sessions, that interaction range is the product, and the presentation-first interface is designed to be run from a stage.

Pricing is per presenter and billed yearly: Basic at $14 a month and Pro at $28, with SSO and custom branding on Enterprise. The free plan allows 50 participants a month.

Best for: learning and development teams running recurring interactive sessions.

The catch: licensing follows presenters rather than usage, so a department where ten people occasionally present needs ten licences.

G2 rating: 4.7/5, from 533 reviews. A strong score on a solid base.

3. Poll Everywhere, best for large audiences

Poll Everywhere is the answer when audience size is the constraint. Its upper tiers handle audiences that would exhaust the participant caps on competing plans, which is why large universities and training organisations use it.

Mixed response channels help too. People can answer by web, by SMS, or through the app, which matters in rooms where not everyone has a laptop open.

Paid plans run $10 a month for Present, $49 for Engage, and $84 for Teams, billed as $120, $588, and $999 a year. Additional seats are charged separately on every tier.

Best for: universities and large organisations where audience capacity decides the tool.

The catch: additional seats are priced separately from the plan, so a department with several presenters pays well above the headline figure.

G2 rating: 4.5/5, from 63 reviews. A modest base for a product this established.

4. Vevox, best purpose-built for enterprise polling

Vevox is less known than Slido or Mentimeter and is built squarely for enterprise and higher education. ISO 27001 certification and GDPR-first data handling are its pitch, alongside tight Microsoft Teams and PowerPoint integration.

In UK and EU organisations, particularly universities, government bodies and financial services, it appears on shortlists where the others may not clear the data-residency requirement.

Vevox does not publish prices on its pricing page. There is a free tier, and paid plans are quoted, so this page does not list rates for it.

Best for: regulated UK and EU organisations where data handling decides the shortlist.

The catch: you cannot compare its cost without contacting sales, which slows any evaluation running against tools that publish rates.

G2 rating: 4.7/5, from 453 reviews. A strong score on a credible base, despite the lower profile.

5. Typeform, best for branded qualitative polls

Typeform earns a place in an enterprise list for external polling, where the poll carries your brand to customers rather than to employees in a room.

One question at a time lifts completion on anything longer than a couple of questions, and the result looks designed rather than functional.

It is priced for quality rather than volume. Free covers 10 responses a month, Basic is $39 with 100 responses, Plus $79 with 1,000, and Business $129 with 10,000, all above the advertised annual rates.

Best for: customer-facing polls where the brand experience matters.

The catch: it does nothing for a live room. Typeform is for links you send, not charts you project.

G2 rating: 4.5/5, from 1,017 reviews. A large base, with cost the most common criticism.

6. SurveyMonkey, best for research at scale

SurveyMonkey covers the research end of polling, where results feed a report rather than a room. Its question bank is reviewed for bias, and its benchmarking compares your numbers against industry data.

For employee engagement studies and market research that leadership will act on, that methodology is what justifies the price.

Published pricing covers team plans: Team Advantage at $30 per user a month and Team Premier at $92, both with a three-seat minimum, plus $0.15 for each response over the limit.

Best for: research programmes where methodology has to withstand scrutiny.

The catch: the three-seat minimum means the cheapest team plan is $90 a month rather than $30.

G2 rating: 4.4/5, from 23,901 reviews. A very large base; the score reflects long familiarity.

7. Microsoft Forms + Polls in Teams, best inside Microsoft 365

If your organisation runs on Microsoft 365, polling is already licensed. Polls in Teams launches a question inside the meeting and posts results to the chat, with no separate vendor to approve.

For internal polling that is often the deciding factor. The tool inherits your tenant's compliance posture, so security review is usually a formality rather than a project.

Nothing extra is charged. Business Basic is $7 per user a month on annual billing, and Business Standard now bundles Copilot at $23.50.

Best for: internal polling in organisations already standardised on Microsoft 365.

The catch: the poll types are basic, so any event that needs moderated Q&A or live word clouds will outgrow it.

G2 rating: 4.4/5, from 476 reviews, at the lower end here, which fits its internal scope.

8. Formester, best flat-rate option

Formester is the flat-rate entry in a list where almost everything scales with people. There is no participant cap and no response meter on any plan, including the free one.

It has no live presentation mode, so it covers the async half of enterprise polling: pulse checks, feedback rounds and internal votes collected over days rather than minutes.

Business at $49 a month covers 25 team members with a custom domain, which is a different shape from paying per host or per presenter.

Best for: organisations that want predictable cost for async internal polling.

The catch: it does not do live rooms, and it offers no SSO, which rules it out where single sign-on is a procurement requirement.

G2 rating: 4.7/5, from 14 reviews. High score, small sample; read it as an early signal.

How to pick the right poll software for your organisation

Start with the pricing model, because it decides your bill more than the feature list does. Slido and Mentimeter charge per host or presenter, which suits a small group of regular presenters and gets expensive across a large one.

Poll Everywhere charges by plan but adds seats separately, so count the presenters before comparing headline prices.

Then check procurement's requirements. SSO and data residency point to Slido, Vevox, or the Microsoft tools. Anything staying inside Microsoft 365 is already licensed and needs no new vendor.

If most of your polling is async rather than live, the live-tool pricing is money spent on capability you will not use. Formester covers that case at a flat rate, and SurveyMonkey covers it when the results need research rigour.
