Disclosure: we make Verdo. It isn't first on this list because, as a pure voting app, Simple Poll and Polly do more. Verdo is built for the step after the vote.

1. Simple Poll: best for fast everyday polls

A capable polling app with almost no learning curve.

Single select, multi select, ranked choice, scale rating and short answer, plus scheduled and recurring polls, closing after a set duration, reminders to non-responders, anonymous polls on the paid plan, and CSV export.

  • Pick it if: You want the familiar default.
  • Skip it if: You need the vote to produce an owned decision with a record.

2. Polly: best for polls plus surveys and feedback

A mature survey and engagement platform.

Pulse checks, standups, retro feedback, suggestion boxes and word clouds. Anonymous responses (including anonymity from the person who sent the poll), scheduling and recurrence, CSV export, Google Sheets and Jira integrations, webhooks and an API on paid plans.

  • Pick it if: Voting is one part of a broader feedback habit.
  • Skip it if: You want something lighter than a survey platform.

3. Verdo: best when the vote has to end in a decision

Most poll apps stop at the result. Verdo carries on from there.

/verdo sets a question, options, a deadline and a rule (majority or consensus), with an optional owner. Each person picked as a participant gets a one-click vote link from the card. Non-voters get reminders 24 hours and 1 hour before the deadline. At the deadline Verdo closes the vote and replaces the vote card with a Decided card showing the winning option, the owner if you named one, and a link to the record. The decision gets a searchable record with an audit trail, and 30 days later the owner (or the workspace owner, if none was named) is asked whether it worked. If no option wins, the decision is marked stalled and the creator is told. Full details on the Verdo for Slack page.

  • Pick it if: Polls in your workspace end with “so what did we decide?”
  • Skip it if: You need ranked choice, multi-question surveys or open-text answers. Verdo is single choice only.
  • Price: Pro $49/month or Business $149/month, per workspace, 7-day free trial. Card required. Cancel anytime during the trial with no charge.

4. Doozy: best for engagement and people teams

An engagement and survey app for people teams.

Aimed at regular check-ins and feedback rather than one-off decisions.

5. Easy Polls: best for flexible surveys

A survey-style polling app.

For teams whose questions look more like a short survey than a single vote.

6. iPoll: best feature set for its size

A general-purpose polling app.

Worth a look if you want more poll options than a basic app without moving to a survey platform.

7. Upvote: best for idea voting

An idea-voting app.

For collecting ideas from the team and letting people vote the best ones up.

8. My Polls: best for confidential votes

A polling app positioned around confidentiality.

For votes where who voted, and how, needs to stay private.

9. Standuply: best if you already run standups in Slack

A standup bot that also runs polls.

Useful if your team already uses it for standups and wants polls in the same place.

10. Slido: best for live votes in meetings

A live polling and Q&A tool.

Built for meetings, town halls and presentations rather than async channel votes.

Poll or decision?

Ask what happens after the vote. If the answer is “someone reads the result and moves on”, any app above works. If the answer is “someone has to act on it, by a date, and we'll want to know later why we chose it”, you need a deadline, an owner and a record. That's the gap Verdo fills.

Frequently asked questions

What are the most popular Slack voting and poll apps?
Simple Poll and Polly are the two best-known names. Polly has a long track record and a large install base; Simple Poll is the low-ceremony default for quick polls.
Can Slack do polls without an app?
You can collect emoji reactions or build a basic poll with Slack Workflow Builder. On their own, neither closes the vote on a deadline, reminds non-voters or keeps a searchable record.
Which Slack poll apps support ranked choice?
Simple Poll lists ranked choice among its question types, and Direct Decisions is built around ranked preferences. Verdo doesn't; it uses single-choice voting.
Which voting app for Slack is best for decisions rather than opinions?
Verdo. It closes the vote at a deadline, posts the result with the owner if one is named, and keeps a record of the decision.
How much does Verdo cost?
Pro is $49 a month and Business is $149 a month, priced per workspace rather than per person, with a 7-day free trial. Card required. Cancel anytime during the trial with no charge.
