AhaSlides has quizzes, spinner wheels and a full slide editor, which LivePoll does not try to offer.
The free-plan limit
Why people look for an AhaSlides alternative
AhaSlides packs a lot into one tool: slides, quizzes, spinner wheels and polls. The free plan is where polling gets tight. It allows up to 50 participants, 3 poll questions and 5 quiz questions per presentation.
A class of 60 or a town hall won't fit, and three questions run out fast in a workshop. You end up paying for a whole presentation suite to ask a few more questions.
- 50 participantsOn the free plan
- 3 poll questions per presentationBefore you need to upgrade
- A slide editor to learnWhen you only need a poll
Free on every poll
What you get with LivePoll for free
LivePoll skips the slide editor. You type a question, publish, and the room votes. There's no limit on voters or on how many polls you run.
- Unlimited votersOn every free poll
- No signup to createType a question, add answers, publish
- A QR code and a 6-digit codeOn the big screen, so people join with the phone camera or by typing the code
- Live resultsAs bars that grow with each vote, readable from the back row
- Controls on your phoneTo close, reopen or reset voting
- No adsFor you or your voters
- Six languagesAnd the voting page follows each phone's language
Run it next to your existing slides: present the poll from a browser tab, then switch back.
An honest take
Where AhaSlides is the better pick
AhaSlides does things LivePoll doesn't:
- Quizzes and spinner wheelsFor games and team events
- A full slide editorSo polls and slides live in one deck
- Education and team pricingFor schools and companies
If you want quizzes and games in one deck, AhaSlides is a good fit. For polls that a room of any size can answer, LivePoll is free.
Switching
How to switch in three steps
There's nothing to migrate. A poll takes about ten seconds to make.
- Create the poll at FreeLivePoll.com. Type the question and the answers, or paste a whole list
- Put it on screen. Click Publish, and the big-screen view opens with the QR code
- Let the room vote. Results move live, and you can close voting from your phone when you're done
Polls stay open for 24 hours, or 7 days with a free account. A free account also keeps your results for a year.
Pro and the Event Pass
When the paid plans make sense
Most people never pay. If you want more control, Pro is $5 a month or $39 a year, and the Event Pass gives you all of Pro for 7 days for $9, with nothing to cancel.
- Your logo and colors on the big screen
- Your own poll link and password protection
- Hide results until you reveal them, or show percentages only
- One vote per device, scheduling, and CSV and image export
