Educators love it

Poll Everywhere is the future of audience response systems in action. Steve D., Discovery Channel Education Network I discovered your product at ISTE '11, I am so glad that I never bought clickers ~2 years ago. I love Poll Everywhere! Sheldon H., Laboratory Instructor, Newfoundland Loved the product and would use it again for other events. Robin M., Charles F Patton Middle School I use your product often in my  classrooms and the students love it! Molly L., NBCT, Godwin High School Poll Everywhere is a great way to gather responses from students. Charles F., Philadelphia Technology in Education Examiner

Why we're different

Dollar_icon-28bc4a1569185215079867c7f70d992f Free and low-cost premium plans

Our Free plan is useful for sampling opinions, small groups, or evaluating the product's efficacy. You don't have to spend anything to realize a significant value when compared to the alternatives.

Low-cost premium plans can save 90% over clickers. Plans exist for individual teachers as well as per-student priced plans for schools and entire districts. Poll Everywhere can replace clunky clickers and bring a whole new experience and range of uses.

For comparison, clicker systems (also known as Student Response Systems [ SRS ] or Classroom Response Systems [ CRS ]) average $1500 to $2000 for a set of 30 clickers, useful for one classroom at most.

Approved_icon-64acd2d2cf30dd20585937b36a5962a1 Students & Teachers Prefer Poll Everywhere

Teachers prefer Poll Everywhere because it saves them time & money, increases student achievement, and there is no need to pass out & collect clickers. Get new features every week, it works on any web or mobile device, and no waiting for updates to the software. For students who don't bring their own device [BYOD (?) ], utilize in-class computers or a laptop/tablet cart.

Students prefer Poll Everywhere because their responses can be reviewed later. Students also have a much greater likelihood to remember to bring their phone/laptop with them and it gives them a reason to avoid using their device for another purpose or distraction.

With free text polls, it is now possible to create word clouds, create a platform for large group brainstorming sessions and expose students' opinions more honestly. The ability to rapidly critique and discuss open-ended topics leads to richer thinking.

Rotary_phone_icon-b6fb89c4b55665899edf9e35af46f4a2 Support you can count on

Most web services don't offer support you have to beg for it. You can call us if you like and can expect an email response within 1 hour during a normal business day.

Although our software is self-service, proven and simple, we understand that people might need help. Most people find answers in the Frequently Asked Questions but we also offer telephone and email support.

Safari_icon-1f8f1c8f413d4ad0376c314eda94f2ac "Bring your own web or mobile device" is better than ever

  • Live, real-time, animated charts update based on your students' responses right in PowerPoint (or Keynote) alongside your regular class slides.
  • It works on every device: Students can use cellphones, smartphones, laptops, or tablets. iOS, Android, Mac, PC - it doesn't matter.
  • New features every week
  • No waiting for fixes or updates
  • No pain of installing other software or hardware

Magnifier_icon-e8e808263de7ec778be4b3764be33e0c Find & share the best questions with other experts

In a single account, such as a school or district with many faculty using the tool, it is convenient for teachers teaching the same courses to swap and share their questions and content with each other by searching and browsing one another's questions and surveys.

At scale, you have the power to search and discover the very best crafted questions and content created by other experts and teachers in your field or subject area. Over time, the best questions will also be ranked, making them even more valuable.
