Three steps. Real data. No friction.

Build a poll, send it, and watch weighted results come in live.

01

Build Your Poll

Create up to 5 questions. Multiple choice, rating scales, or open-ended. Choose your audience. Set your sample size. The builder handles branching logic automatically.

02

Send via SMS or Email

SMS for maximum response rates — people answer right in their texts. Email for high-volume, low-cost delivery. Or use both channels to maximize reach.

03

Get Weighted Results

AI-powered weighting adjusts for demographics automatically. Watch responses come in on a real-time dashboard with cross-tabs, margin of error, and exportable charts.

Everything you need to run professional research polls.

From sampling to weighting to dashboards — the full polling stack in one platform.

💬

Conversational SMS

No links, no forms. Respondents answer questions right in their text messages. Carriers don't flag it. People actually respond. Response rates that web surveys can only dream about.
