What PollUnit is
PollUnit is a freemium service for online polls, surveys, contests, idea prioritisation, and feedback collection. Polls can ask for dates, text, pictures, or files and support yes/no choices, star ratings, and dot voting. Surveys offer form fields, Likert scales, branching, multiple-choice questions, and image or video questions. Photo contests include participant uploads, galleries, voting, moderation, evaluation, and entry-fee processing. Results appear in real time with charts, filters, word clouds, and export options. Live polling and anonymous responses are supported, with an audience limit of 200. The browser application works on desktop and mobile without local installation, and listed platforms include Android, iOS, Linux, and Windows. The free plan allows 40 participants, 20 files per PollUnit, and 1 GB storage. Monthly plans listed are Premium at $11 a month, Business at $36 a month, and Enterprise at $105 a month. An API is available in beta.
