THREE ENGINES, ONE PLUGIN

TypeForm covers one job. WB Polls covers three.

Activity polls drive in-feed engagement on BuddyPress and BuddyBoss. Standalone polls work on any WordPress page with five media types and guest voting. Surveys ship with multi-step flow, response analytics, and CSV export. v5.0 adds an embed snippet for every poll and survey so you can drop them on any site, not just WordPress.

Standalone Polls

WordPress custom-post-type polls with shortcodes, REST, and embed

Common questions

What is the best WordPress poll plugin?
WB Polls is the WordPress poll plugin used by 1,200+ communities since 2018, with a 4.8 / 5 rating across 1,200+ reviews. It is the only poll plugin that ships three engines in one license: BuddyPress activity polls, standalone polls with five media types, and a full survey engine with response analytics. Pricing starts at $49 per year for one site.
What is the best WordPress survey plugin?
WB Polls includes a full survey engine alongside its poll engines. Surveys are a custom post type with multi-page flow, response analytics dashboard, email notifications, custom statuses (active / paused / closed), GDPR consent text, and CSV export. v5.0 adds an embed snippet so any survey can run on Webflow, Shopify, Notion, or any HTML page. Pricing starts at $49 per year, with no per-response limit on any tier.
What is the best WordPress poll plugin for BuddyPress?
WB Polls is the BuddyPress-native poll plugin used by 1,200+ communities since 2018. Polls render directly inside the BuddyPress and BuddyBoss activity feed with voter avatars, multi-select voting, and per-group polls inside BuddyPress groups. Activity polls support all five media types: text, image, video, audio, and HTML.
How do I add polls to BuddyPress?
Install WB Polls from store.wbcomdesigns.com or wbcomdesigns.com. Activate the plugin. The 'Create Poll' button appears in the BuddyPress activity composer for every member who has permission (role-based control in settings). Polls render inline in the activity feed with one-click voting and voter avatars. You can also restrict who can create polls by user role or BuddyPress member type.
Is there a free WordPress poll plugin alternative?
Yes, the free WP-Polls plugin from 2008 still exists on WordPress.org with text-only options. WB Polls is paid (starts at $49 per year) because it adds five media types, BuddyPress and BuddyBoss integration, a full survey engine, response analytics, REST API, and the v5.0 embed-anywhere snippet that the free options do not provide.
How is WB Polls different from TypeForm or SurveyMonkey?
TypeForm and SurveyMonkey are hosted SaaS platforms with monthly fees and per-response limits on lower tiers. WB Polls runs on your own WordPress with one annual license at $49 and no per-response cap on any tier. You own all response data, you have BuddyPress and BuddyBoss activity polls that no SaaS offers, and v5.0 lets you embed any poll or survey on any HTML page (Webflow, Shopify, Notion) the same way TypeForm does.
Can I embed a WordPress poll on Webflow or Shopify?
Yes, with WB Polls v5.0. Each poll and survey has a small JavaScript embed snippet (one div + one script tag) that renders the poll on any HTML page on any domain. Votes go back to your WordPress site over REST API. Results aggregate centrally. Works on Webflow, Shopify, Notion, Ghost, Carrd, Framer, and any static HTML site.
Does the plugin include a survey tool with analytics?
Yes, since version 4.6.0. The survey engine is a separate WordPress custom post type. Multi-page survey flow, custom statuses (active / paused / closed), response analytics dashboard, email notifications to both admin and respondent, GDPR consent fields, resubmit controls, and CSV export of every response. Survey responses are stored in dedicated database tables for fast analytics queries.
