About PollSpark
Built to hear from everyone in the room.
PollSpark is a live polling platform for sessions where the quiet answers matter as much as the loud ones.

No app. No login. Just the room answering.
Origin
It started with a missing PDF.
A colleague in the NHS needed to export results from a session she'd just run. Mentimeter had removed PDF export from their free tier. She tried Microsoft Forms instead. It didn't work either.
The room had spoken, but getting a usable record of what people said had become the hard part.
I built PollSpark over the next few months, in my spare time, from my kitchen table. I use engagement tools in my NHS day job, so the gap was practical, not theoretical.
The product is still deliberately simple: participants join with a five-digit code, answer from any device, and the presenter leaves with results they can actually use. PDF export is free, because that's the feature that started this.
Question types
Three that don't usually come built-in.
Mood Check-in reads how the room actually feels. Confidence Meter shows where people are, not where you assumed they were. Before & After puts the same question at the start and end of a session, side by side, so you can see what shifted.
You can build something similar in other tools. We made them ready out of the box, because that's what people kept asking for.

What shapes it
Practical choices, made on purpose.
Anonymous by default
People answer differently when they aren't being put on the spot. PollSpark is built for the answers people usually keep to themselves.
Flat team access
One price for the team. No per-seat gatekeeping, no deciding whose voice is worth licensing.
UK hosted
Data is processed and stored in the UK, which makes early procurement conversations simpler for public bodies and regulated teams.
PDF export stays free
PollSpark exists because export disappeared behind a paywall elsewhere. We aren't going to repeat the problem that started this.
What it is not
Not another tool trying to look clever.
Not a meeting tool. Not a survey platform. A way to hear from the room while you're still in it.
PollSpark is UK-based, ICO-registered, and built on a simple promise: hear from the whole room, and keep the result afterwards.
