A recurring complaint about annual audience-poll plans is simple: they are the wrong shape for people who run one event now and then. A single all-hands, one workshop, one contest should not require a yearly commitment.
PollMaker.ai has a one-time Event Pass. It covers a single event for 30 days, then it is done. No renewal, no seat you forget to cancel. There is also a monthly Pro plan if you run events often, but nothing forces you onto it.
Voter IP addresses are never stored. Each is hashed with a per-poll secret and discarded, so an anonymous audience poll cannot be traced back to a person later.
For a vote that will be questioned, the Event Pass publishes a verifiable tally: receipts for voters, and a public log anyone can recompute to confirm the count is honest.
This is a focused poll, not a full classroom or SMS-response platform. If your need is an anonymous, verifiable poll priced per event, it fits well.
