Dory review
A focused web tool for moderated Q&A and polling in smaller live events.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Dory is a web-based audience response platform for meetings, webinars, conferences, AMAs, and all-hands sessions. It is designed for organizers who need live polling and real-time Q&A, with question voting, anonymous posts, moderation, pinning, QR-code access, private events, and presentation mode. Participants can respond during live or virtual gatherings, while organizers can invite collaborators and manage access. Dory fits small, moderated sessions more closely than broad classroom or large-event use on its Standard plan.
Pricing is centered on a seven-day trial and a paid Standard plan priced at $17 per month when billed annually. Standard includes unlimited live polls and Q&A, domain-restricted private events, Present mode, personalized events, and collaborators, with participant-based event limits. Enterprise adds support for up to 20,000 participants, priority chat support, SAML single sign-on, and custom solutions. This creates a clear path from smaller internal events to larger organizations that need higher capacity or identity management.
Dory’s strongest focus is the live interaction workflow: attendees can access an event by QR code, submit questions anonymously, vote questions up or down, and benefit from organizer moderation and pinning. That combination suits meetings and moderated Q&A where participation control matters. The tradeoff is a narrow ecosystem and scope: the product is web-based, and quizzes or integrations are not part of the listed feature set. Choose Dory for focused Q&A and polling with privacy and moderation controls; choose an alternative if you need quizzes, broader integrations, or Standard-plan events above 20 participants.
