General

How do the monthly responses work?

Each time a survey is completed by one of your participants you will be deducted one response. Free accounts get 200/month, Pro get 5,000/month and corporate accounts get an unlimited amount. Once any new responses come in over your limit, they will appear locked until you upgrade. Poll votes are unlimited across all accounts.

What happens when I go over the 200 responses I get in a free account?

With a free account you can collect 200 survey responses per month across all of your surveys. One you go over the allotted 200, we will continue to collect responses in your survey but they will appear as being locked in your reports. When you upgrade your account, all previously locked responses will become available in your reports.

What is the difference between a poll and a survey?

A poll allows you to ask just one question, and enter some predefined answers for your voter to choose from. A poll can be placed in line in your webpage and when your user votes, the results are delivered back to the poll without the page refreshing.

With a survey, you can ask many questions. A survey usually takes up a full webpage and you would just send your users a link to that page. Surveys have many different question types that allow you to collect very different types of data.

If you have recently signed up for a Pro account and the link has remained in your polls, simple edit and re-save the poll to remove it.

If you have a free account, you can remove the link to Polldaddy in your polls and surveys by upgrading your account today.

How do I copy a poll?

You can copy a 'Poll' by first logging into your Polldaddy account and visiting the dashboard. Locate the poll you want to copy and move your mouse over the 'responses' column. This should change into a button which can be clicked to reveal a set of actions, of which one is copy. Clicking this will copy the poll and all of its settings, but the votes of the new copied poll will be zero.

When I vote I get the message 'We have received too many votes from you. You will be unblocked after a cooling off period.'?

This is because we have received too many votes from your I.P. address. You will be unblocked again in about 4 hours. If you are the owner of the poll and you have a lot of people voting in your organization from the same IP address (via a internet gateway etc.) you can email support with your I.P. address and we will white list it for you. This feature is only available to our Pro and Corporate account. Upgrade your account today to access this feature.

Where do I see the 'Other' votes people enter in my poll?

When you have the 'Other' option enabled in your poll, it allows your voters to enter an answer of their own. We don't display these directly in the poll at the moment due to concerns around spam. You can however view these by logging into your account and going to the 'Reports' page for that poll.
