FAQ
Is PollsLive a good Kahoot alternative?
Yes - if you want more than game-show quizzing. PollsLive runs live quizzes with leaderboards and speed-bonus scoring, and it also handles serious polling: open text, scale, ranking, and live Q&A. Voters join with zero login.
Does PollsLive charge per host like Kahoot?
No. Kahoot paid plans run roughly $9-$24 per host/month billed annually depending on tier, priced per host. PollsLive Pro is one flat price from $4.17/mo billed annually ($50/yr) with up to 10 team seats included - no per-host tax.
Do players need an account to join a quiz?
No. Players join with a PIN or QR code and start answering - no app download or signup. Just like the classic game PIN flow, but for polls and quizzes alike.
Can I do more than quizzes?
Yes. Beyond scored quizzes with leaderboards, you can run open-text questions, scale checks, ranking, and live Q&A - useful when you need real feedback, not just a game.
