Poll Everywhere's 25-response cap isn't enough

Poll Everywhere pioneered the "text to respond" polling format and popularized it in higher education. But their free tier caps responses at 25, which isn't enough for a single college lecture, a company all-hands, or most professional events. Getting to anything useful requires a paid plan starting at $120 per year.

rifts.to has no response cap. The 26th response, the 260th response, and the 2,600th response all work exactly the same way and cost exactly nothing. Whether you're polling a small team or a packed lecture hall, rifts.to doesn't ask you to pay before you can get started.

The core experience — without the account requirement

Poll Everywhere built its reputation on the simplicity of the presenter/audience dynamic: presenter creates a poll, audience sees it and responds, results appear live. rifts.to delivers that same dynamic without requiring the presenter to create an account or the audience to do anything except open a link.

For teachers and trainers who want to integrate live polling into their regular practice, not having to log in to a platform every time they teach is a real time saver. Open rifts.to, create your questions, share, and present.
