DirectPoll vs. SurveyMonkey

DirectPoll lets you create a poll in a minute and run it live. Your audience opens the vote link or scans a QR code and votes from their phones - no app to install, no account to create. The results appear live on a results screen you project, or right on your slides with the DirectPoll add-in for PowerPoint on Windows and the companion app for PowerPoint on macOS. You run the poll from the cockpit: prepare your questions in advance or on the spot, move through them at your own pace, and your audience cannot skip ahead.

SurveyMonkey is the world’s most popular platform for surveys and forms, built for business and loved by users. We combine powerful capabilities with intuitive design, effectively serving every use case, from customer experience to employee engagement, market research to payment and registration forms. With built-in research expertise and AI-assisted technology, it’s like having a team of expert researchers right at your fingertips.
