The questions to ask both, and Simple Poll's own answers on pricing, data access, security and Grid." --- # Simple Poll or Polly? The questions that settle it For: Teams choosing a Slack poll app If you're comparing Simple Poll with Polly, this page helps. It doesn't describe Polly: its own website is the right place for that. It gives you the questions that decide it for a company, and Simple Poll's answers, so you can ask the same questions of both. ## Example polls Paste any of these into the message box in Slack. ```text /poll "How was your week, honestly?" "Rough" "Meh" "Fine" "Good" "Great" scale anonymous ``` A one-click anonymous rating, good for a side-by-side trial. Free. *Free.* ## The questions that decide it - Is the price per user or per workspace, and what happens as we grow? - What can the app see in Slack: only its own polls, or message history and files too? - Is the vendor independently certified, for example to ISO 27001? - Does it cover the whole org on Enterprise Grid? - Does it do surveys, anonymous feedback and recurring polls as well as quick votes? - Can we pay by invoice and get a DPA if procurement needs one? - Can we trial it with the polls we'd really run? ## Simple Poll's answers - **Price:** one price per workspace, set by member count, covering every member. See [pricing](https://simplepoll.rocks/pricing/). - **Data:** the polls and votes your team creates. No channel history, no files, no DMs. See the [scopes page](https://simplepoll.rocks/scopes/). - **Certification:** ISO 27001. See the [security review](https://simplepoll.rocks/buying/security-review/). - **Grid:** org-wide coverage on Enterprise Grid, on the [Enterprise plan](https://simplepoll.rocks/buying/enterprise-grid/). - **Range:** single questions, ranked choice, rating scales, open text, Q&A, and surveys of up to 20 questions. Anonymous voting is free; surveys, recurring and scheduled polls are Premium. - **Procurement:** invoice and PO billing, a DPA and an MSA on Enterprise. - **Trial:** 14 days of Premium with `/simplepoll trial` (card required, no charge until it ends). ## Test with a real poll The fairest comparison is a real one. During Simple Poll's 14-day trial (card required), run the poll you'd run anyway, such as next week's pulse or an open decision, and see how many people answer. Hold any other app you're considering to the same test, and ask your IT team which one they'd approve.
