Frequently Asked Questions

Is it really free?

Yes! 100% free to create polls with unlimited responses. No hidden fees, no premium tiers for basic features. Create as many polls as you want.

Do I need to create an account?

No signup required for basic polls. However, creating a free account lets you manage all your polls in one place, edit polls after creation, and access advanced analytics.

Can people vote multiple times?

You can choose! By default, we prevent duplicate voting using cookies and IP tracking. Or enable multiple votes if you want people to vote more than once.

How long do polls last?

Polls last forever unless you set an expiration date. You can close a poll manually at any time or set it to automatically close after a certain date or number of votes.

Can I see who voted?

That depends on your settings. Anonymous polls don't collect any identifying information. If you enable authentication, you can see who voted (useful for team decisions).

Can I embed polls on my website?

Yes! Every poll gets an embed code that you can paste into your website, blog, or forum. The poll will display inline and votes are synchronized in real-time.

Best Practices for Creating Polls

• Be Clear: Use simple, unambiguous language. Avoid double-barreled questions.
• Stay Neutral: Don't lead respondents toward a particular answer.
• Limit Options: Too many choices overwhelm people. Aim for 3-7 options.
• Include "Other": Give people an escape hatch if none of your options fit.
• Test First: Share with a small group before sending to everyone.
• Promote: Share your poll in multiple places to get more responses.
• Set Deadlines: People respond better when there's a time limit.
