Our verdict on Jackpoll

Jackpoll is a free, open-source survey and quiz builder from Quavon for teachers, researchers, businesses, event organizers, and teams. It combines 15 question types with live polling, anonymous responses, real-time chart views, auto-graded quizzes, and presenter-led quiz games. A drag-and-drop builder supports conditional logic, while collaborative editing, embedding, access controls, and privacy tooling extend its use beyond basic questionnaires.

The published Free plan costs €0 forever and includes unlimited surveys, unlimited responses, all question types, quiz mode, live quiz games, live word clouds, and real-time results. The pricing model is straightforward: there are no paid product tiers described, and optional supporter contributions do not unlock additional features. That makes Jackpoll suitable for organizations that want a predictable free offering rather than a tiered product with premium feature gates. Teams should still consider whether their operating model calls for a hosted service or an internally managed deployment.

Jackpoll’s strongest distinction is the combination of audience response features and self-hosting. Participants can join presenter-led games using a PIN or QR code, while HMAC-signed webhooks, email notifications, CSV, Excel, and PDF exports support downstream workflows. The application can run on an organization’s own infrastructure through Docker Compose or Swarm, and the product is available across web, iOS, and Android. Choose Jackpoll for free surveys, quizzes, live participation, and deployment control. Choose an alternative if you need AI-assisted workflows or a wider event-management platform.
