Quick answers

What’s the difference between the Polls for Gmail add-on and the Chrome extension?

They create the same polls in the same account. The Chrome extension runs right in your browser, so it’s much faster and has a more beautiful, custom builder, but it only works in desktop Chrome. The Gmail add-on works everywhere Gmail does, including the Gmail mobile apps, and is a little slower.

Which should I use?

At your desk in Chrome, get the Chrome extension for speed and a live preview. On your phone, Safari or Firefox, get the Gmail add-on.

Can I use both?

Yes. They share one account, so your polls, votes, plan and dashboard stay in sync everywhere.

Does the Chrome extension work on my phone?

No. It runs in desktop Chrome only. On your phone, use the Gmail add-on, which works in the Gmail apps for iPhone and Android.

Are they free?

Both are free to install, and the Free plan includes every poll type. Recipients never need to install anything to vote.

What permissions do they need?

The Chrome extension needs no Google account permissions; you connect it by signing in on pollsforgmail.com. The add-on uses Gmail’s compose permissions so it can insert polls into your draft.

Can’t decide? Get both.

They sync automatically. Free to install.
