Why Is TapVoter Free?
We believe every organization deserves access to professional online voting software, regardless of their budget. Too many nonprofits, schools, clubs, and community groups are forced to use insecure workarounds like email threads, show-of-hands, or overpriced platforms that charge per voter or per election.
TapVoter's election features are free forever. We sustain the platform through optional Pro features for polls and quizzes ($4.99/month), but elections, including all five voting methods, voter keys, CSV export, and the Audit Center, will always be completely free.
No trials. No "freemium" bait-and-switch where the features you need are locked behind a paywall. Create an account, set up your election, and invite your voters. That is it.
