sli.do is built for enterprise events — not everyone else
Slido (formerly sli.do) was built for large corporate events with dedicated event management teams and six-figure AV budgets. Its pricing reflects that: $1,490 per year for the features that individual speakers, educators, and small teams actually need. The free tier caps at 100 participants, which covers a lot of use cases — but only if you're willing to create an account and navigate the enterprise-focused interface for a simple classroom poll.
rifts.to is designed for exactly the use cases that sli.do's pricing structure doesn't serve: the professor who needs a quick poll for Tuesday's lecture, the speaker who wants to engage a room of 200 without an event tech budget, and the team lead running a 30-person all-hands who wants a live question at the end.
No account means no commitment
The zero-account model matters more than it might seem. When a tool requires account creation, it creates a barrier to first use that eliminates the spontaneous use case. The best polls happen in the moment — the question that comes up in the middle of a discussion, the check-in that wasn't planned but is clearly needed. rifts.to lets you build and launch a poll in under 60 seconds, with nothing to set up in advance.
