A Simple Poll alternative that doesn't price by headcount
Simple Poll is a good product — that's why 945,000+ teams installed it. The problem is the bill: pricing scales with your workspace size, not your usage. A 25-person team pays $49/month (billed annually) whether five people vote or fifty. The free tier caps at 100 responses a month — one active poll in a mid-size channel can eat that in an afternoon.
How FlatPoll is different
- Free plan with no response caps. Unlimited polls, unlimited votes, anonymous voting, multi-vote — free forever.
- $19/month flat for Pro. Recurring polls, scheduled polls, hidden results, auto-close, vote limits, CSV export. Same price for a team of 5 or 5,000.
- Three permission scopes. FlatPoll can post polls and read the commands you invoke — nothing else. No message reading, no member-list collection.
- Real anonymity. Anonymous votes are stored as one-way hashes. Nobody — including us and your admins — can reveal who voted.

Switching takes two minutes
There's nothing to migrate — polls are ephemeral by nature. Install FlatPoll, type /flatpoll, and your next poll costs nothing regardless of how many people vote.
