Before you choose
Match the live formats
Check the live polling, live Q&A and quiz mode fields against the session format you need. A tool may support one format without covering the others.
Review audience limits before a class, meeting or event. The listed limit can affect whether a plan fits your room.
Check device access
Web access appears across the category, while support for iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and an API varies by tool. Choose the access points that match your presenters and audience.
If attendees need phones, verify mobile platform support before you commit. An API matters when responses must connect to another system.
Start with the available plan
Look for a free plan when you need to begin without a subscription. A free trial can help you review paid features before choosing a plan.
Compare the listed Paid from amount with the free-plan and trial details. Pricing models include free, freemium and paid options.
Check response privacy and slides
Anonymous responses can matter when participants may hold back under their names. Confirm that the tool's response setting matches your session's needs.
Slide integrations can keep questions and results beside presentation content. Check the listed integration field if your session depends on slides.
Review code access
Open-source status is listed for the tools where it applies. If you need to inspect or change code, check the tool's licence before adopting it.
