Living polls
People change their minds. Your poll can keep up.

- Fix a confusing question without losing the history
- Ask the same people again, and see who changed their mind
- You see an email only if the person shares it

How it differs from a typical poll tool
| A typical poll tool | ChatterPoll | |
|---|---|---|
| What people see | A form, or a list of options | One friendly question at a time |
| What you get | Counts, maybe a word cloud | Counts, reasons and comments |
| Evidence | A screenshot of the chart | n, dates, wording, versions and change over time |
| After the poll closes | It’s over; start again from scratch | Revise, add follow-ups and re-poll the same people |
Start with three free polls.

Quick answers.
Do participants need an account?
No. They open the link or scan the code and answer. To change an answer later, they can save it with an email and get a private link. Answering is always free.
What do the free polls include?
Each of your first three polls takes up to 50 people and has every feature. Results stay readable and exportable after the poll closes.
Is it too playful for a medical or scientific audience?
The participant experience is warm and conversational, while questions, privacy details and results stay clear and direct. Your organization's name, initials and color appear on the poll.
What happens when a poll is full?
New people see a message that the poll has reached its limit, and you get an email. People who already answered can still change their answers. You can add 250 more people for $6 or move to a bigger plan.
Can people change their answers later?
Yes. Anyone who saved their answers with an email can come back, change an answer and respond to follow-ups. You see their email only if they choose to share it.
