Pricing Compared
Starting price reflects the lowest paid tier, not the full cost for every team size or usage level.
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
SurveyJS
Pros
Free open-source Form Library covers most embedding use cases
Full data ownership since forms run inside the developer's own app
One-time perpetual license model instead of mandatory recurring fees
Works with all major JavaScript frameworks
Highly customizable question types and logic
Cons
Requires development resources to implement, unlike no-code survey tools
Commercial tiers require upfront payment for the Creator, Dashboard, and PDF Generator
Small company size means a slower feature release pace than large SaaS vendors
Documentation is developer-oriented and less accessible to non-technical users
No built-in survey distribution or audience/panel features like hosted competitors
Use Cases
livepolls
SurveyJS
Embedded surveys inside a SaaS product — Software teams add custom surveys and forms directly inside their own product rather than linking out to a third-party tool.
Full data ownership requirements — Organizations with strict data residency or privacy requirements keep all survey response data on their own infrastructure.
White-labeled client form solutions — Agencies build custom-branded form and survey experiences for client projects using SurveyJS as the underlying engine.
