Laws get passed whether you're paying attention or not. PollSee makes paying attention take about two minutes a day. EVERY MORNING, A BALLOT Five real bills — from your city council, your state, and Congress — picked for where you live. Swipe agree or disagree, skip what you don't care about, and see where your district actually lands. No punditry, no comment wars. Just the bills. PLAIN ENGLISH, ZERO LEGALESE Every bill leads with how it hits you, not how it's numbered. Tap "Read it" for the gist in bullets, definitions for the jargon, and answers to whatever you want to ask. The official text is always one tap away. PROPOSE YOUR OWN LAWS Something broken where you live? Write it plainly. We help you shape it into a real proposal, verified neighbors co-sign it, and at 50 signatures it goes to your council member. Free. Yes, really. Yes, you. KNOW WHO ANSWERS FOR IT Your reps — federal, state, and local — in one list, with what they're sponsoring and how to reach them. Plus every election on your calendar, down to the local races nobody tells you about. COVERAGE THAT'S ACTUALLY DEEP All 50 state legislatures, Congress, and city councils in 34 cities including New York, Chicago, and DC — with more coming. SHARE THE RECEIPTS Send any bill to anyone. If they don't have the app, the link opens instantly anyway — no download required. Your vote is verified once, counted per district, and impossible to astroturf. Your neighbors are already weighing in. See where you land.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Politeio at none against PollSee's 6. Politeio also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.4). PollSee's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (15 vs 3). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. PollSee sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Politeio asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for PollSee against 5.0 for Politeio. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PollSee has 15 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
PollSee ships an update every 6 days, Politeio every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
