Why teams switch

The problems Chooseday was built to solve

📡
Slido requires a live host — your team has to be online at the same time

Chooseday runs entirely async. Create a decision, share the link, and your team votes over the next 24–72 hours. No meeting required. No one gets left out for being in a different timezone.

🏆
Slido polls show results live — which creates anchoring and groupthink

Chooseday hides results until the deadline. Every team member votes with equal information and no social pressure from early results. The outcome reflects genuine individual preferences.

📜
Slido results live in a session and don't persist as team decisions

Every Chooseday vote is a permanent record. Search back through any decision, see who voted what in aggregate, and understand why your team made each choice.

What teams are saying

“

We were using Slido in all-hands meetings for team votes. But the live results meant whoever voted first set the tone. Chooseday's blind voting completely changed the quality of our decisions.

Slido is a conference tool. We needed a tool for our actual team to make actual decisions. Chooseday is what that looks like.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know

For team decisions — absolutely. Run votes before the meeting so results are ready when you enter the call. You spend meeting time acting on decisions, not making them.

For live conference Q&A and audience engagement at events, Slido is purpose-built and excellent. Chooseday is built for closed team decisions — not large public audience polling.

Chooseday can run short-window votes — set the deadline to 30 minutes if you want near-real-time results. The key difference is results are still hidden until the deadline, ensuring unbiased voting.

Slido pricing is oriented toward enterprise event use and can be expensive for regular team use. Chooseday's free plan covers most small teams indefinitely, with Pro and Team plans designed for growing organisations.
