What Votey is
Votey is a web-based tool for live audience activities, including polls, word clouds, ratings, rankings, quizzes, and Q&A. Participants can join a room using a QR code or short code without installing an app or creating an account. Hosts can add activities to presentations through slide integrations and a PowerPoint add-in. Quizzes are timed and scored, with a leaderboard, while Q&A questions can be moderated and move up as participants vote. The site states that median response latency is under 200ms end to end. The Free plan costs nothing, is billed forever, and allows one event per month, unlimited rooms per event, and up to 25 participants per room. It includes Votey branding and no data exports. Pro costs £19.99 a month, billed month, and removes event, room, and participant limits and branding. Pro exports are available in PowerPoint, CSV, HTML, and PDF; HTML replays live animations, while PDF is a static report. Hosts sign in with passwordless email codes and must be at least 16.
