Depends on where your respondents are and what you're trying to do.
Use QR Poll if:
- Your respondents are physically present — restaurants, events, waiting rooms, classrooms, hotel rooms
- You want feedback in under 30 seconds per person, no login required
- You need QR codes that work with any phone camera
- Anonymous responses matter more than tracking who said what
Use a traditional survey tool if:
- You're sending surveys by email to a contact list
- You need complex branching logic and conditional questions
- You're running a 50-question annual engagement survey
- You need deep CRM integrations and workflow automation
Use a presentation tool if:
- You're presenting live and want word clouds, quizzes, and audience reactions
- Everyone in the room is doing the same activity at the same time
- The "interactive" feel during the presentation is the point
Most people don't need a Swiss army knife. They need the right knife for the job. If your job involves physical spaces and quick feedback, that's what QR Poll does.
