Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Poll Everywhere at 4.8 against Mersive Solstice's 2.4. Poll Everywhere also leads on ratings volume (3K vs 65) and chart position (#203 vs unranked). Mersive Solstice's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Poll Everywhere sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Mersive Solstice asks for nothing beyond the download.
Poll Everywhere holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Poll Everywhere has 3K ratings behind it against 65, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Mersive Solstice's written reviews are positive against 30% of Poll Everywhere's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
