Crowdpurr

Crowdpurr is a browser-based platform for running interactive activities at live, virtual, and hybrid events. It suits event hosts who want polls, trivia, social walls, and bingo alongside presentation and streaming options. The main trade-off is scale: small sessions fit the free tier, while larger audiences and richer streaming require progressively more expensive plans.

Overview

Crowdpurr covers several audience formats in one workspace, from quick polls and trivia games to social walls and bingo. Participants join in a browser on any device, so attendees do not need to install an app. That is a practical advantage for mixed-device audiences, though the platform does not provide live Q&A or slide integrations.

Key features

The Presentation View can run on a projector or television, be shared in Zoom or Webex, or be streamed through YouTube Live, Twitch, or OBS. Crowdpurr also offers a Webex Embedded App for launching an experience inside a Webex meeting. OBS integration is reserved for the Conference Plan and above, so smaller paid plans are less suitable for OBS-centered production.

Hosts get more than 2,000 professionally written trivia games, reducing preparation for recurring events. Crowdpurr AI can generate games and questions, add notes, and rewrite questions, which is useful when a host needs to adapt material quickly. Social Walls aggregate X (Twitter) and Instagram posts by hashtag and accept participant photo uploads, making them a better fit for public-facing engagement than a simple poll.

Responses, results, lead capture, and rankings can be exported to Excel or Google Sheets. Crowdpurr says its AWS-hosted platform uses SHA-256 AES/CBC encryption across SSL protocols, does not sell or rent user or participant data, and supports GDPR review, export, and deletion. It is working toward SOC II Type 2 compliance. Classroom and higher plans include phone and chat support, and a free demo is offered.

Pricing

The Basic Plan is free forever, with 20 participants per experience, 15 questions per experience, three simultaneous experiences, and 15 minutes of host live streaming. It is appropriate for small meetings or testing, but the low caps will constrain regular public events. Crowdpurr does not offer a Premium free trial.

The Classroom Plan costs $49.99 per month on a one-month license, with a listed $24.99 monthly price and $299.94 yearly price at 50% off. It supports 100 participants, 100 questions, 10 simultaneous experiences, two team members, and 30 minutes of host streaming. This is the sensible step up for classes and small events, but the team and audience caps limit shared administration.

The Seminar Plan is $149.99 per month on a one-month license, or $74.99 monthly and $899.94 yearly at 50% off. It raises capacity to 500 participants, 25 simultaneous experiences, five team members, and 60 minutes of streaming, while retaining 100 questions per experience. The Conference Plan is $249.99 per month, or $124.99 monthly and $1,499.94 yearly at 50% off, for 1,000 participants, 50 simultaneous experiences, 10 team members, and unlimited host streaming. It is the first tier with OBS integration.

The Convention Plan costs $499.99 per month, or $249.99 monthly and $2,999.94 yearly at 50% off, supporting 5,000 participants, 100 simultaneous experiences, 25 team members, and live-stream recording. The Stadium Plan is $999.99 per month, or $499.99 monthly and $5,999.94 yearly at 50% off, for 15,000 participants, 150 simultaneous experiences, and 50 team members. Both retain the 100-question limit; these tiers target very large productions rather than occasional users.

Platforms

Crowdpurr is a web platform. The participant experience is entirely browser based and supports browsers across devices, while hosts can present locally or use Zoom, Webex, YouTube Live, Twitch, and OBS according to plan.

Who it's for

Choose Crowdpurr for conferences, classes, webinars, and hybrid events that need several participation formats and a shared presentation or stream. The browser entry point and ready-made trivia library help when audience reach and preparation time matter. It is a weaker choice for teams built around live Q&A, slide-embedded interaction, or a small budget once audiences exceed the Basic limits.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Polls, trivia, social walls, and bingo cover varied event activities in one platform.
• Browser participation avoids a native-app download for attendees.
• More than 2,000 in-house trivia games and AI editing tools shorten content preparation.
• Presentation, Webex, and streaming options support in-room and remote formats.
• Exports to Excel and Google Sheets make rankings, results, and lead capture reusable.

Cons

• No live Q&A or slide integration, leaving gaps for discussion-led and presentation-led sessions.
• Free usage is capped at 20 participants, 15 questions, three simultaneous experiences, and 15 minutes of streaming.
• OBS is limited to the Conference Plan and above, and live-stream recording starts at Convention.
• Premium plans have no free trial, so evaluating paid workflows requires the free Basic Plan or demo.

Alternatives

Verdict

Crowdpurr is a strong choice for event organizers who need varied audience activities, browser access, and flexible presentation or streaming in one service. Its main reason to choose it is the combination of formats, trivia content, and scalable event plans. Look elsewhere if live Q&A or slide integration is essential, or if your audience and streaming needs do not justify moving beyond the tightly capped free plan.
