What Is an Audience Polling Platform? Feedr's Real-Time Alternative
An audience polling platform typically refers to tools for live surveys and word clouds during events. Feedr takes a different approach: it's a real-time audience engagement app for comments, Q&A upvoting, and reactions, designed for speakers, lecturers, and event hosts who want instant audience interaction without attendees downloading an app.
How Feedr Differs from Traditional Polling Tools
Most audience polling platforms focus on multiple-choice surveys and instant word clouds. Feedr is a real-time audience comments platform that prioritises live conversation over structured polls. Your audience joins via QR code in their browser, then posts comments, upvotes questions, and reacts with emoji. As of June 2026, Feedr serves conference speakers, church preachers, lecturers, and event hosts who value organic audience input over quantified survey data. There's no app to download, no account to create. The host manages the session from iOS or Android, seeing comments stream live and choosing which to pin or feature.
Core Features: Comments, Q&A, and Moderation
Feedr is a live audience engagement platform that lets attendees post comments and upvote questions in real time. On the free tier, hosts get a live comment stream with upvoting and basic session reports, though you're limited to 3 sessions per month and 100 audience members. The Creator tier (£6.99 per month or £49.99 per year) unlocks unlimited sessions, supports up to 500 audience members, and adds comment moderation, emoji reactions, and the ability to pin standout comments. The Pro tier (£14.99 per month or £119.99 per year) removes the audience cap entirely and includes an analytics dashboard showing engagement trends across your sessions.
No App Download, No Account Needed
A key difference between Feedr and traditional polling platforms is simplicity for attendees. Your audience doesn't need to install software or create a login. They scan your QR code, open a browser window, and start engaging immediately. This removes friction and increases participation rates, especially useful in large conferences, lectures, or worship settings where you need rapid adoption. The host runs everything from their phone using the Feedr app on iOS or Android, managing the comment stream, moderating posts, and tracking which questions resonate most through upvotes.
Real-Time Engagement vs. Scheduled Surveys
Traditional polling platforms often present pre-written questions to gather structured data. Feedr works differently: it captures organic audience questions and comments as they happen. This makes it ideal for Q&A sessions, live lectures, or any event where you want to know what your audience is actually thinking in the moment. Moderators on Creator and Pro tiers can flag inappropriate comments before they appear, and hosts can pin top-voted questions to keep the conversation on track. The result is a moderated, real-time dialogue rather than a data collection exercise.
Pricing and Scalability
Feedr's free tier allows 3 sessions per month with up to 100 audience members, ideal for testing the platform or small group settings. The Creator plan (£49.99 per year) is designed for regular hosts who run multiple events and need up to 500 attendees plus comment moderation tools. The Pro plan (£119.99 per year) scales to unlimited audience and adds session analytics so you can see how engagement changed over time. No setup fees, no per-attendee costs, and you can cancel or switch tiers anytime.

Frequently asked questions
Is Feedr a webinar or video conferencing platform?
No. Feedr is an audience engagement layer for real-time comments and Q&A. Your audience doesn't see or hear each other; they post comments and upvote questions. You can run Feedr alongside a separate video platform if you're hosting a remote event.
How many people can join a Feedr session?
The free tier supports up to 100 audience members. Creator tier (£6.99/mo) allows 500. Pro tier (£14.99/mo) has no audience limit.
Does the audience need to download an app or create an account?
No. Your audience scans a QR code and joins in their web browser. No signup, no installation, no friction.
Can I moderate comments before they appear?
Yes, on Creator and Pro tiers. Comments enter a moderation queue, and you approve or reject them before they show to the live stream.
Does Feedr include live polls or word clouds?
Not currently. Feedr specialises in live comments, Q&A upvoting, and emoji reactions. If structured polling is your priority, consider a dedicated survey platform alongside Feedr.
Can I pin or feature specific comments?
Yes, on Creator and Pro tiers. Pin a comment live to draw the audience's attention to key questions or moments.
