A free Kahoot alternative for live polls
LivePoll is a free Kahoot alternative when you want a quick live poll rather than a quiz game. You type a question, publish, and the room votes from their phones with a QR code or a 6-digit code. There's no signup and no voter limit. Kahoot is the stronger pick for scored quiz games.

Different tools
When a poll fits better than a quiz game
A quiz game asks questions with right answers and ranks the players. A live poll asks what people think and shows the room its own answer. Many moments need the second one: a check-in, a decision, feedback at the end of a session.
- Feedback and opinions, where there is no right answer
- Decisions in a meeting, a class or a club
- Big rooms, where everyone should be able to vote without a limit
