# Poll vs Chirp Access

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chirp Access at none against Poll's 1. Chirp Access also leads on ratings volume (658 vs 48). Poll's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Poll sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Chirp Access asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 2.0 for Poll against 2.0 for Chirp Access. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chirp Access has 658 ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 5% of Poll's written reviews are positive against 9% of Chirp Access's.

Poll ships an update every 3 weeks, Chirp Access every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
