Poll Everywhere: cost, fit and limits
Poll Everywhere is an audience response and live polling platform made by Poll Everywhere, Inc. of the United States, offering polls, quizzes and Q&A that work with PowerPoint, with AI prompts that draft questions and themes from responses.
What to know first
Poll Everywhere lists five tiers in US dollars: a free Intro plan for 40 people, Present at USD 10 per month billed annually, Engage at USD 49, Teams at USD 84, and a custom Enterprise plan. AI is counted in prompts per month, from 10 on Intro to unlimited from Engage. The page shows PowerPoint as its only named integration and does not map quiz features to plans.

Who Poll Everywhere is best for
Conference speakers using PowerPoint
The PowerPoint integration is on every plan including free Intro, and Present supports an audience of up to 700 for USD 10 a month.
Teams that need branded sessions
Teams removes the Poll Everywhere logo and adds custom branding, themes, usernames and a custom URL, with phone and email support.
Trainers who track attendance
Engage adds attendance management plus import and grouping of participants, which helps a recurring course where the same people return each week.

What Poll Everywhere does
- AI prompts as a metered unit
- AI generates poll questions and themes from responses, counted as prompts: 10 per month on Intro, 100 on Present and unlimited on Engage, Teams and Enterprise.
- All question and poll types on free
- The Intro plan includes every question and poll type with PowerPoint integration, so the free tier tests the real workflow, only limited by an audience of 40 people.
- Attendance and grouping
- Engage records attendance and lets a host import and group participants, which fits courses and cohort programs where the same people return, rather than one-off conference talks given to strangers.
- Branding and custom response URL
- Teams removes the vendor logo and lets an organization use its own themes, usernames and web address for audience responses, with phone and email support added at that tier.
- Single sign-on for Enterprise
- SAML single sign-on, teams and shared polls and a dedicated success manager are on the custom Enterprise plan for larger organizations that need central account control across many presenters.
How Poll Everywhere handles your data
The privacy policy says the AI provider does not use prompts, responses, uploaded documents, moderation data or survey responses to train its models. Uploaded AI documents are kept up to 90 days, while survey responses and generated themes are kept only as long as needed, and free accounts inactive for 12 months may be deleted. The site is hosted in the United States. SOC 2 and ISO 27001 are not mentioned, but the company states GDPR compliance and self-certification to the EU-U.S., UK Extension and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Frameworks.
Where Poll Everywhere falls short in practice
- Audience cap ambiguity. Intro allows 40 people and the paid plans 700, but the page does not say whether the cap applies per poll or per month, so a recurring audience needs a written answer.
- Thin quiz detail. Quiz-specific features and integrations beyond PowerPoint are not mapped to plans, so a buyer who wants scoring, leaderboards or LMS links has to test or ask.
- Single named integration. PowerPoint is the only integration named on the plans page. Teams that present from Google Slides, Teams or Zoom cannot confirm support from the page.
