When Slido's price doesn't fit
Slido works well for large corporate events with dedicated AV budgets. But for individual speakers, educators, and team leads who want fast audience feedback, the free plan's 100-participant cap, three-poll limit and account requirement add friction. The step up is a plan bought per event or per year, with no monthly option.
rifts.to is built for exactly the situations where Slido's pricing doesn't make sense: one-off presentations, classroom check-ins, team meetings, and events where you need a poll ready in under a minute with no budget approval required.
Live polling that anyone can run
Share a link in your Zoom chat or put a QR code on your slide. Audience members tap or scan, answer your question, and results appear on your screen immediately. No app install, no account creation, no friction at all.
Multiple choice polls show a live bar chart. Rating scales show every score from 1 to 10 with the average and median. Free-text questions let you read responses as they arrive. When you want the room to see the results, Present shows them one question at a time on the full screen. Everything you need for genuine audience engagement — completely free.
