Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: College Kangaroo at 100% against Poll Everywhere's 30%. College Kangaroo also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). Poll Everywhere's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 5). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
