What it is

Quick Tally (quicktally.com) is a veteran professional service provider in the global audience response system (ARS, commonly known as polling clickers) space. It entered the industry in 1987 as a pioneer of TV audience interaction models, and its original polling device is even held in the collection of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. The company primarily offers real-time anonymous audience polling and feedback services for all types of events, covering a wide range of formats including in-person, fully virtual, and hybrid events.

Core Features and Pricing

Quick Tally offers three categories of core services:

1. Full-service on-site support: Professional technicians provide event support on-site or remotely, covering the full workflow from questionnaire design, setup and debugging, to data aggregation.
2. Self-service device rental: Users handle operation on their own, and rentals include access to the software, a pre-event practice system, and training support.
3. Finished device sales: It primarily sells dedicated polling hardware from the Turning Technologies brand.

Core capabilities include real-time aggregation of polling data and instant visualization of results, supports anonymous voting to capture honest feedback, and integrates with common meeting tools like PowerPoint and Zoom.

Pricing is not listed publicly on the site. For all services, users need to fill out an online form to get a free custom quote, which is typically responded to within 1 hour.

Pros, Cons, and Ideal Users

Pros

Quick Tally has over 30 years of industry experience, covering nearly every event type from corporate meetings, TV productions, summits, to training sessions. It also offers an unconditional satisfaction guarantee: users pay no service fees if they are not satisfied, a rare commitment in the industry. Its dedicated hardware polling clicker solution prevents audience members from getting distracted by other apps on their personal phones, delivering far higher voting accuracy and participant engagement than mobile-only solutions.

Cons

Pricing is not transparent, and the company focuses its service on the US market, so the cost of accessing services is quite high for domestic Chinese organizers.

This service is ideal for organizers of corporate meetings, TV programs, and large industry trade shows based in the United States. It is also a good option for Chinese organizers that need to host events overseas.
