Self-hosted alternatives to Poll Everywhere
Poll Everywhere is a hosted live polling tool for presenters, teachers and events that embeds polls and Q&A into slide decks. One listed app does its main job and runs in your own Cloudflare account.
Each answer comes from the app’s README and source code, compared with the features Poll Everywhere describes on its own site.

| Audience Q&A with upvotes | Yes |

- Partly Live polls with many activity types. Up to eight polls per event, each multiple choice with two to six options.
- Yes Audience Q&A with upvotes. Questions with support from other participants, a moderation link, audience reports, slow mode and a delay before questions reach the screen.

- No Competitions and quizzes. Not available.
- Partly Embedding in PowerPoint, Google Slides, Canva and PDFs. Shows a PDF or a Google Slides or Canva link beside the dashboard rather than inside the slides; a web component embeds the panel in HTML decks.
