Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Poll Everywhere at 4.8 against ActivTracker's 2.3. Poll Everywhere also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 30 months) and ratings volume (3K vs 3). ActivTracker's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 16.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Poll Everywhere holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Poll Everywhere has 3K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Poll Everywhere ships an update every 2 months, ActivTracker every 30 months. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
