What's included
From question one to a decision
Design the survey, test it on yourself, launch it to the right people at the right time, and read the results without a spreadsheet marathon.
Polls & questionnaires
One-question polls, multi-step questionnaires, or long-form feedback — the same builder handles all of them.
Rich question types
Yes/no, single choice, multiple choice, open text, and numeric — with options auto-numbered so respondents just reply 1, 2, or 3.
Runs over SMS
Questions arrive as texts and answers come back as replies. Respondents answer at their own pace, on any handset.
Runs over USSD
Attach the survey to a USSD code for a guided dial-in session — perfect for voting and structured registration.
Whitelists & date windows
Limit responses to a defined list of numbers, and open or close the survey on a schedule. Only the right people answer, only when it counts.
Live results & winners
Per-question breakdowns with vote counts, percentages, and the leading option flagged — polls declare their own winner.
Full transcripts
Open any respondent's session and read the complete question-and-answer conversation, timestamped.
CSV exports
Pull every response out to CSV for deeper analysis or donor reporting — one click, no copy-paste.
Test before launch
A built-in simulator lets you answer your own survey end-to-end while it's still a draft. Real traffic only reaches active surveys.
Results
Polls that declare their own winner
Every question gets a live breakdown: how many picked each option, what share that is, and which option leads. When the board asks “so what did members say?”, the answer is one screen.
- Per-option counts and percentages, updating live
- Leading option flagged automatically
- Multiple-choice picks counted individually
- Drill into any respondent's full transcript
Which service should we improve first?
3,412 answersMultiple-choice picks are counted per option — ties and winners are obvious at a glance.
Channels
Meet respondents on the channel they already use
The same survey can run as an SMS conversation or a dialled USSD session. Choose per audience: SMS for reach and convenience, USSD for guided, real-time flows like elections.
- SMS: reply-based, answer any time
- USSD: guided dial-in session, instant completion
- One results dashboard regardless of channel
Over SMS
Questions arrive as texts; answers come back as replies. Works anywhere, any time, on any phone — respondents answer at their own pace.
Over USSD
Attach the survey to a USSD code and respondents dial in for a guided, step-by-step session — ideal for voting and structured intake.
Question design
Questions that answer themselves correctly
Options are numbered automatically, multiple-choice explains its own format, and answers are validated as they arrive — so your data comes back clean, not as free-text chaos you have to decode later.
- Auto-numbered options — respondents reply with a digit
- Multi-select with a clear “1,3” format hint
- Numeric questions reject non-numbers politely
- Answers stored as the option label, not a cryptic code

FAQ
Common questions
What question types are supported?+
Yes/no, single choice, multiple choice, open text, and numeric. Choice options are auto-numbered so respondents simply reply with a digit — and multi-select answers use a simple comma format like “1,3”.
Should I run my survey over SMS or USSD?+
SMS is best for reach — respondents answer whenever they see the text. USSD is best for guided, real-time flows like elections or registration, where the respondent completes everything in one dialled session. The same survey and results dashboard work for both.
Can I restrict who responds?+
Yes. Whitelist a specific set of phone numbers (say, your registered members) and optionally set a start and end date. Outside that list or window, the survey simply doesn't respond.
How do I see the results?+
Live, per question: option counts, percentages, and the current leader. You can open any individual's full conversation transcript, and export everything to CSV whenever you need the raw data.
Can I test the survey before members see it?+
Yes — the built-in simulator runs your draft end-to-end exactly as a respondent would experience it. Real phone traffic only ever reaches surveys you've explicitly activated.
