1. Slido, best for corporate live events

Slido was acquired by Cisco in 2021, and enterprise procurement now finds the Cisco name easier to approve than a standalone SaaS. The killer combo is polls plus moderated Q&A inside Webex, Teams, or PowerPoint.
For internal all-hands, town halls, executive AMA sessions, and industry conferences, Slido owns the "run a poll inside the meeting your team already has open" workflow. The Q&A moderation with upvoting is what wins over comms teams.
Best for: Enterprises running Webex or Teams all-hands, town halls, or corporate conferences with 200+ participants who need polls plus moderated Q&A.
Strengths
- Owned by Cisco; enterprise procurement pre-approved
- Native embeds inside Webex, Microsoft Teams, PowerPoint, Google Slides
- Q&A moderation with upvoting is best-in-category
- ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II compliance
- Free plan supports unlimited events with 200 participants
Weaknesses
- Free plan caps at 200 participants (trips up any event past mid-size)
- Word cloud, ranking, quiz question types require Engage plan or above
- Priced per host, which adds up for organizations with many presenters
- Not built for async or embedded website polls
Pricing
- Free plan: Unlimited events, 200 participants per event, basic poll types
- Starting paid tier: Engage at $12.50/host/month (annual), 1,000 participants + full poll library
- Most popular: Professional at $50/host/month (annual), 5,000 participants + advanced analytics
- Enterprise: Custom pricing with SSO, dedicated CSM, and 10,000+ participant caps
- Free trial: Free plan is permanent
G2 rating: 4.8/5 (780 reviews on G2)
2. Mentimeter Enterprise, best for training and audience engagement

Mentimeter is the category leader for interactive live audience polling, with 300M+ presentations delivered to date. For corporate L&D teams running training sessions, workshops, or leadership offsites, the 13 interactive question types (word cloud, ranking, scales, quiz, open-ended) rendered in real-time on a shared screen is the sweet spot.
Enterprise adds SSO, custom branding, team folders, and a dedicated CSM.
Best for: Corporate L&D, HR, and training teams running interactive sessions where engagement matters more than data collection.
Strengths
- 300M+ presentations delivered; the most mature polling engine on this list
- 13 interactive question types
- Free tier is unusually generous (unlimited participants, unlimited presentations)
- PowerPoint + Google Slides + Zoom integrations
- Enterprise adds SSO, custom branding, dedicated support
Weaknesses
- Free plan caps 2 questions + 5 quizzes per presentation
- Advanced question types and unlimited slides sit on Pro plan
- Not designed for async or public-URL polls
- Enterprise pricing is opaque (custom quote required)
Pricing
- Free plan: Unlimited participants + presentations, 2 questions + 5 quizzes per presentation
- Starting paid tier: Basic at $11.99/month (annual), unlimited questions + full question library
- Most popular: Pro at $24.99/month (annual), team collaboration + advanced analytics
- Enterprise: Custom pricing with SSO, custom branding, dedicated CSM
- Free trial: Free plan is permanent
G2 rating: 4.7/5 (533 reviews on G2)
3. Poll Everywhere Team, best for large audiences

Poll Everywhere handles the largest audiences of any tool on this list, 250,000+ respondents on higher tiers. Universities are a core customer segment; the Canvas, Blackboard, and Moodle LMS integrations make it viable for lecture halls of thousands.
For enterprise, the activity library is broader than Mentimeter's, including clickable images, competitions, and open-ended prompts. The trade-off is a dated UI compared to the newer entrants.
Best for: Universities, large corporate training teams, and event organizers running polls for very large in-person audiences.
Strengths
- Handles 250,000+ respondents on higher tiers
- Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle LMS integrations
- Native PowerPoint + Keynote + Google Slides integration
- SCIM provisioning + SSO on Enterprise
- Broadest activity library (clickable image, competitions, open-ended, ranking)
Weaknesses
- Free plan caps 40 respondents per session (very small)
- Interface is dense and dated
- Priced per presenter, so cost scales with team size not participant volume
- Not the right pick for consumer polls or embedded website polls
Pricing
- Free plan: 40 respondents per session, unlimited polls, basic activity types
- Starting paid tier: Present at $120/year ($10/month), 700 respondents + remove branding
- Team: $49/user/month for multi-presenter workspaces
- Higher tiers: $99/user/month for enterprise features, custom pricing above
- Free trial: Free plan is permanent
G2 rating: 4.5/5 (63 reviews on G2)
4. Vevox, best purpose-built for enterprise polling

Vevox is a lesser-known but genuinely enterprise-first polling platform out of the UK. ISO 27001 certified, tight Microsoft Teams and PowerPoint integration, GDPR-first data handling out of the box. For UK, EU, and regulated-sector organizations (universities, government, financial services), it's a common pick.
Where Slido owns the North American enterprise market, Vevox owns the EMEA university and government sector.
Best for: UK, EU, and regulated-sector teams (universities, government, financial services) that need ISO 27001 and GDPR-first polling with tight Teams integration.
Strengths
- ISO 27001 certified, GDPR-first data handling
- Tight Microsoft Teams + PowerPoint integration
- Poll + Q&A + Quiz + Survey in one platform
- 4.7/5 G2 rating with 453 reviews (strong sentiment for a niche tool)
- Anonymous mode available across every plan
Weaknesses
- Brand recognition is weaker in North America than Slido
- Pricing opaque above the free tier (custom quote)
- Integration library outside Microsoft ecosystem is thinner
- UI polish is functional but not category-leading
Pricing
- Free plan: Unlimited polls, 25 participants per session, basic features
- Starting paid tier: Standard, custom pricing, 500 participants + team features
- Business: Custom pricing, 1,000+ participants + SSO
- Enterprise: Custom pricing with dedicated CSM, ISO 27001 audit report
- Free trial: Free plan is permanent
G2 rating: 4.7/5 (453 reviews on G2)
5. Typeform Business, best for B2B qualitative surveys

Typeform isn't a live-poll tool; it's a conversational form and survey tool that also runs quiz-style polls well. For B2B teams sending qualitative research surveys, product feedback questionnaires, or NPS follow-ups, the one-question-at-a-time UX consistently lifts completion rates by 10 to 20 percentage points versus a static form.
The 2026 AI Growth Flow layers AI-driven follow-up on top: a poll answer can trigger a tailored follow-up sequence, which is closer to what Interact does natively for quiz funnels.
Best for: Product, research, and CX teams running qualitative B2B surveys or async polls that need completion rate optimization.
Strengths
- Best-in-class conversational form UX
- 2026 AI Growth Flow generates full flows + follow-up sequences from a prompt
- 1,200+ integrations (native + Zapier)
- Strong analytics on drop-off, completion time, device split
- Enterprise plan adds SSO + Salesforce sync
Weaknesses
- Free plan is punishing (10 responses/month)
- Not designed for live in-room polls
- Price jumps hard between tiers, especially at Business ($83/mo)
- One-question-per-screen slows high-volume data entry
Pricing
- Free plan: 1 workspace, 10 questions per form, 10 responses/month
- Starting paid tier: Basic at $25/month, 100 responses/month, 1 user
- Most popular: Plus at $50/month, 1,000 responses/month, remove branding
- Business: $83/month, 10,000 responses + priority support
- Enterprise: Custom pricing with SSO, dedicated CSM, higher response ceilings
- Free trial: 14 days on Business plan
G2 rating: 4.5/5 (1,003 reviews on G2)
6. SurveyMonkey Enterprise, best for research at scale

SurveyMonkey is the incumbent research platform. Every enterprise procurement team pre-approves it. The 1,800+ methodologist-written templates, SPSS export, industry benchmarks, and Text Analysis (AI) on higher tiers make it a serious research tool.
For polling specifically, it's overkill for live in-room use but excellent for large-scale async pulse surveys, employee engagement research, and customer NPS at enterprise volume.
Best for: Enterprise research, CX, and HR teams running high-volume async pulse surveys or long-form employee engagement research.
Strengths
- 1,800+ methodologist-written templates
- SPSS export, cross-tab analysis, Text Analysis (AI) on Premier
- Industry benchmarks (compare your results against aggregated peers)
- SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA (with BAA), GDPR
- Salesforce, Marketo, and Tableau integrations
Weaknesses
- Priced per user with 3-user minimum on Team plans; scales up fast
- Interface has not modernized as fast as Typeform or Formester
- Best features (SPSS, benchmarks, text analysis) sit on Premier or Enterprise
- Free plan is punishing (10 questions, 40 responses/month)
Pricing
- Free plan: 10 questions per survey, 40 responses/month, basic reporting
- Starting paid tier: Team Advantage at $25/user/month (3-user minimum, annual)
- Most popular: Team Premier at $75/user/month, unlocks SPSS export + advanced logic
- Individual Advantage: $39/month for single seat, 15,000 responses/year
- Enterprise: Custom pricing with SSO, HIPAA BAA, dedicated CSM
- Free trial: Not offered on Team plans
G2 rating: 4.4/5 (23,528 reviews on G2)
7. Microsoft Forms + Polls in Teams, best for Microsoft 365 tenants

If your org already pays for Microsoft 365, Forms + Polls-in-Teams is free and admin-safe. Running a poll inside a Teams meeting takes 30 seconds and zero IT tickets. Security posture inherits from Microsoft 365 (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA when configured).
Ceiling: it's not designed for external audiences, and design customization is limited to what Microsoft ships.
Best for: Microsoft 365 organizations running polls inside Teams meetings or channels with no external audience.
Strengths
- Bundled with any Microsoft 365 subscription at no extra cost
- Native integration with Excel, SharePoint, PowerPoint, Teams
- Enterprise-grade security inherits from Microsoft 365
- Branching logic and quiz mode with auto-grading
- No response cap on paid Microsoft 365 plans
Weaknesses
- Almost useless outside Microsoft 365 ecosystem
- Very limited design customization (looks like Microsoft)
- No native payment collection, no webhooks, no offline mode
- Anonymous responses are gated (external submissions often require admin unlock)
Pricing
- Free plan: Personal Microsoft account, 200 responses/form, basic features
- Starting paid tier: Microsoft 365 Business Basic at $6/user/month (annual), unlocks full Forms
- Most popular: Microsoft 365 Business Standard at $12.50/user/month, adds Office apps
- Enterprise: Microsoft 365 E3 at $36/user/month or E5 at $57/user/month
- Free trial: 30 days on Microsoft 365 Business
G2 rating: 4.4/5 (473 reviews on G2)
8. Formester Business, best all-around value

Formester Business is the value pick for B2B teams that want unlimited responses, white-label, and team seats without paying per participant. The Business plan at $49/month covers what other tools charge $50 to $200/month per host for.
The differentiator vs Slido / Mentimeter / Poll Everywhere: Formester runs on public URLs and embeds, not live-session presenter software. If your poll needs to live on a page (email link, embedded on landing page, shared via Slack), this is a fit. If your poll needs to render on a shared screen during a live meeting, Slido or Mentimeter are more focused.
Best for: B2B teams running async or public online polls at scale who want no participant cap + white-label + team seats without per-host pricing.
Strengths
- Unlimited responses on the free plan
- White-label + custom domain on Business
- Team seats on Business (no per-host pricing)
- Full field type library including matrix and ranking
- REST API + webhook for CRM sync
Weaknesses
- Not built for live in-room presenter polling; Slido or Mentimeter fit that better
- No HIPAA certification yet (roadmap only)
- G2 review corpus (11) is small vs incumbents
- Enterprise features (SSO, DPA) sit on custom Enterprise plan
Pricing
- Free plan: Unlimited forms, unlimited responses, all field types
- Starting paid tier: Personal at $13/month, adds conditional logic + custom domain
- Most popular: Business at $49/month, adds white-label + team seats + priority support
- Enterprise: Custom pricing with SSO + DPA + dedicated CSM
- Free trial: Free plan is permanent
G2 rating: 4.7/5 (11 reviews on G2)
