Twitter / X Polls
  • Public by default — anyone on X can see the poll and vote, including people outside your team
  • Votes are visible — X shows the running percentages to everyone in real time
  • Capped at 4 options per poll — not enough for many real decisions
  • Poll duration maxes out at 7 days — results and the poll itself are not permanently accessible
  • No ranked choice voting — single-choice only with live visible tallies
  • Requires an X account to vote — external participants need to sign up

Why teams switch

The problems Chooseday was built to solve

🔒
X polls are public — anyone can vote, results are visible in real time, and there is no way to restrict the audience to your team

Chooseday decisions are private by default. Only the people you share the link with can vote. Results are hidden until the deadline — no public visibility, no uninvited voters, no live percentage creep influencing late voters.

🗳️
X polls are capped at 4 options and single-choice only — most real decisions have more complexity than that

Chooseday supports as many options as your decision needs. Ranked choice lets voters express genuine preferences across all of them, and the IRV algorithm finds the most broadly supported winner rather than whoever got a plurality.

📜
X poll results live in a tweet that gets buried in your timeline and is effectively gone after a week

Every Chooseday decision is permanently saved. The decision, the options, the vote breakdown, and the declared winner are all searchable in your decision history months and years later.

What teams are saying

“

Someone seriously suggested we run our team naming vote on X. Public, four options, live percentages. We used Chooseday instead — private, blind, and the winner was undeniable.

X polls are great for audience engagement on social media. For actual team decisions, they are completely the wrong tool. Chooseday is what you actually need.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know

You can, but you will run into several limitations: the poll is public, votes are visible to everyone in real time, you are limited to 4 options, and results disappear after the poll expires. None of these are acceptable for a real team decision.

No. Chooseday voters only need the link. They click through, vote, and they are done. No X account, no Google sign-in, no Slack workspace membership required.

Chooseday supports as many options as you need. When using ranked choice (IRV), voters rank all options in order of preference. The algorithm eliminates the weakest option in each round until one option achieves a majority.

Yes. Every decision and its outcome are saved to your decision history indefinitely. You can search, filter, and review past decisions at any time — no expiry, no buried tweets.
