Chooseday vs Polly

The Polly alternative with unlimited polls and free anonymous voting

Polly is the most popular Slack polling app — but its free plan caps you at 3 polls per month and locks anonymous voting behind a paid tier. Chooseday gives you unlimited polls, genuine anonymous mode, automatic reminders, and a declared winner, all free, all without installing anything in Slack.

Why teams switch

The problems Chooseday was built to solve

🚫
Polly cuts you off after 3 polls per month on free

Chooseday has no monthly poll limit on the free plan. Create as many decisions as your team needs — you're only limited to 5 active at once, which resets when you close old ones.

🔒
Anonymous voting on Polly costs $49/month or more

Anonymous voting is fully included on Chooseday's free plan. Enable it with one toggle — votes are hidden from everyone, including the creator, until the deadline.

🏆
Polly shows vote counts but never declares a winner

Every Chooseday decision closes with a declared winner. No manual tallying, no ambiguity about what the group actually decided.

What teams are saying

“

We switched from Polly when we hit the 3-poll limit for the second month in a row. Chooseday has no cap and actually tells you who won.

The anonymous voting on Polly requires a plan we couldn't justify. Chooseday gives it free, which was the whole reason we wanted it — honest feedback without politics.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know

Chooseday works differently from Polly: instead of a native Slack app, you paste a decision link into any Slack message. Your team clicks the link, votes in their browser in seconds, and the result is declared automatically. No app install, no Slack workspace permissions required.

Yes. Chooseday has no monthly poll limit. On the free plan you can have up to 5 active decisions at any time — close one and you can open another immediately. There's no counter that resets each month.

Yes. Anonymous mode — where no one, including the creator, can see individual votes — is included on the free plan. There is no paid tier required to enable it.

Your existing Polly results stay in Polly. For new decisions, you can start using Chooseday immediately. Just post the Chooseday link in the same Slack channel you'd have used for a Polly poll — the experience for voters is a single click.

Yes. As the deadline approaches, Chooseday automatically emails participants who haven't voted yet. This consistently raises participation from under 50% to 90%+ without any manual chasing.
