Generous free tier with unlimited polls and votes plus REST API access
Simple, single-tier pricing at $9/month — no per-poll upgrades or confusing plan ladder
Developer-friendly with a REST API, agent/MCP tokens, and webhooks for poll and vote events
Cons
Free tier displays a "Powered by LivePolls" badge that only the paid plan removes
Free plan is capped at 100 API requests per day, which is limiting for programmatic use
Focused narrowly on live polling — not a full survey or forms platform with complex question types
Branding customization (theme presets, custom accent color) and vote protection are gated behind Pro
Dovetail
