Literally so simple and easy to get up and running! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Marcus O. | Design & Marketing Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 08, 2022 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** So simple to install in Slack. We use it to gather data from our team. It's been getting great feedback from the team on how simple and easy it is to set up and case their vote! **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** We've only used it in Slack, so our experience may be limited, but from my understanding, there isn't a way to add images, gifs or ancillary content attached to a poll. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** To easily set up a poll within Slack and get it sent out to the team as soon as we can, to get a good gauge of interest. ### 42. Great integration that makes life a little easier **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ann M. | Manager, Customer Experience, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 30, 2022 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** The ease of use while using the slack integration makes it easy to put up different types of polls. There are some useful features that make it a no-brainer to use. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** Like any other freemium tool, the add-on paid options are nice to have but we do not need to have for how we utilize the tool. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's easier to use this tool than to go around asking folks their preferences, it limits unwarranted chatter. ### 43. Fun and convenient for messaging apps **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tania G. | Talent Recruiter, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2021 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** What I like best is How easy and quick it is to use **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** There isn't anything that I can outright say that I dislike **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our company plays alot of virtual games and contest on slack, this has helped to determine the winners in the most transparent way possible ### 44.

Not attractive, but useful app **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mackenzie M. | Production Coordinator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 11, 2019 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** I like that it allows you to create native simple polls right within Slack, with a simple slash command that let's you create polls in a very convenient manner. I also like that I can choose if a poll is anonymous or not, for example: You can create an anonymous poll like this: (/poll "What's your favorite sport?" "Football" "Tennis" anonymous) In this poll, the identity of all voters will be hidden - so if the answers are somewhat sensitive or personal nobody has to know who answered. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** I don't like how the polls look or that there is no UI to customize the polls. Also, adding options to a poll after it has been created is not currently supported. The polls look messy and take up a lot of space in the Slack window which I do not like. Also it takes complicated commands to change the emojis used as buttons to something that looks better. **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** We offer a generous free plan which is a great way to get started with polling in Slack. For advanced features and fewer restrictions you may upgrade to Simple Poll Business, which costs $49 per month for your entire Slack workspace. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are able to use Simple Poll to make quick decisions as a team on cut and dry issues, but it is less helpful for more complicated feedback or for organizing schedules. Typically we use doodle poll for scheduling questions. ### 46. Exactly What it Purports to Be **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kelsey B. | Legal Operations Specialist, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 10, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** I love the idea of using reactions to count as votes on a post, and Simple Poll does a great job making a post for that purpose quick. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** The app can be fussy. For example, I just barely wrote a poll with options "Yes" "No" and "Can't Tell"--and Simple Poll broke out "Can't" and "Tell" into two separate options. I checked--it wasn't a glitch of the single quote, but rather, if you forget quote marks around the question. I suppose, like most Slack integrations, it requires very specific syntax. **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** I prefer Simple Poll to Polly. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** Quick polling of employees in Slack (e.g. which activity would you like to do for our retreat? What snack would you like for the office to bring in on Friday? What are the most difficult phone calls to process?) ### 47. Get the answer you need **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 01, 2019 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** What I like best is the option to include multiple answers and have people simply pick an answer. It's a lot more efficient than the back and forth of conversation especially when asking for a group. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** It's a little sensitive to where the special character's go to make the poll. They have to be in the exact right spot and sometimes it can be tricky. **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** Simple poll is easy to use, especially in slack. It is a quick way to get a fast answer to your question. It's helpful and user friendly for others as well. I use it for many things rather deciding on lunch or activities. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** Finding the quickest answer to a question by having everyone's compiled input in one place. ### 48. A quick and easy way to make decisions as a team! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Music | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 25, 2019 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** I like how easily Simple Poll integrates with Slack. It's super easy to create a new poll and view results. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** The voting modal is a little strange, especially as it will let a user submit multiple responses without warning them that they've already answered. I also wish it would let the poll-maker preview before other users start responding. **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** Simple Poll is a great add-on for companies already using Slack for inter-company communication. It's easy to set up and easy to use. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Simple Poll often to quickly survey my teammates and gut-check decisions. For example, if I have an idea, and I want feedback on it, I can create a Simple Poll and get a quick sense of how my team feels about it. I also use Simple Poll for more social and logistical aspects of my workday such as deciding when/where we're eating a team lunch. ### 49. Great Way to Come to Conclusions on Ideas **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 05, 2019 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** The simple poll feature is the best way to quickly receive votes from specified individuals on a particular topic. This has been implemented by my team on a number of occasions and we love the feature! **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** We have not discovered any problems with the simple poll and will continue using at least weekly. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are able to account for every individual in our group and make sure that everyone's vote is heard. ### 50. Great tool for team collaboration **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 01, 2019 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** The ability to create custom polls without leaving the slack app is so convenient for team collaboration - such as deciding on an email subject line, or office events like deciding what to eat for lunch at the holiday party. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** I dislike that the poll question is shown twice when you write the poll in slack code you see that header, and the poll header from the app itself. **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** Easy to use justinstall the app and type /poll in slack to get started! **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** Solving the problem of indecisiveness and employee satisfaction by being able to make decisions with votes where everyone can see the results. - [View Simple Poll pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/simple-poll/reviews?qs=pros-and-cons§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-14+03%3A08%3A05+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=cc806c3d-9611-427f-9522-bae83fe33890&secure%5Btoken%5D=d6473ddadfe94ff6b64cc2768813bc0d0a1ac42292a20f91ca2c7dc16f4de33d&format=llm_user) ## Simple Poll Integrations - [Slack](https://www.g2.com/products/slack/reviews) ## Simple Poll Features **Survey Management** - Survey Builder - Question Types - Templates - Survey Distribution **Agentic AI - Productivity Bots** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Decision Making **Platform Content** - Employee Pulse Surveys - Survey Customization **Survey Insights** - Data Exporting - Permissions **Platform Additional Functionality** - Peer Recognition **Agentic AI - Survey** - Adaptive Learning - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Platform** - Performance - Mobility - Reporting ## Top Simple Poll Alternatives - [Polly](https://www.g2.com/products/polly/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (94 reviews) - [Zapier](https://www.g2.com/products/zapier/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (2,024 reviews) - [SurveyMonkey](https://www.g2.com/products/surveymonkey/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (23,174 reviews)
