What DirectPoll is
DirectPoll is a freemium web polling tool for collecting audience responses through live polls and quizzes. It accepts anonymous responses and supports audiences of up to 500 people. Slide integrations are available, while live Q&A is not supported. The service runs on the web, Windows, and macOS. DirectPoll is made by DirectPoll, headquartered in Zürich, Switzerland. A free plan is available, and the listed paid option is Supporter at 20 CHF a year. Supporter status lasts for one year and applies to existing and new polls linked to the account email for at least the stated period.
