Full poll history

Every poll you've sent, with its question, options, vote count, and timestamp — all searchable from your dashboard. Reopen any poll to see how everyone voted in aggregate.

Embed directly into Gmail

Compose a poll right inside Gmail's compose sidebar. It renders as a clean, table-based card inside the email body — no iframe, no external page, no broken images.

Vote without an account

Recipients click an option, land on a confirmation page, done. No signup, no Google login, no app to install. Works for anyone you can email.

Live results dashboard

Watch votes land in real time. Per-option counts, percentages, totals, and a one-click "close poll" toggle. Bookmark-friendly URL per poll.

Pro

Color themes

Pick from three header palettes — Classic black, Mint, or Lavender — so the poll card matches your brand or the tone of the email. Set once per poll at compose time.

Pro

Auto-close at deadline

Set a deadline when you create a poll. Voting closes automatically when time's up. No more reminders to your future self to wrap things up manually.

Pro

Hide results until close

Choose whether voters see live percentages after voting, or just a thank-you. Keeps polls neutral when you're after honest signal — no bandwagon effect.

Pro

Remove branding

Strip the "Made with Polls for Gmail" footer from the inserted card. Useful when the poll sits inside a heavily-branded newsletter or formal team email.

FAQ

Common questions

Everything you might want to know before installing.

What is Polls for Gmail?

Polls for Gmail is a Google Workspace add-on that lets you create polls inside Gmail and embed them in any email. Recipients vote in one click directly from their inbox — no account, no app, no link to follow.

How does Polls for Gmail work?

Install the add-on from the Google Workspace Marketplace. A poll icon appears in Gmail's compose sidebar. Click it, type your question and up to 6 options, then insert the poll into your email. Recipients see vote buttons inside the email and click to vote — their selection lands in your live results dashboard.

Do recipients need to sign up to vote?

No. Recipients vote directly from the email in their inbox with a single click. No account, no install, no friction. It works for anyone you can email, in any email client (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, etc.).

Is Polls for Gmail free?

Yes — with a 3-poll lifetime cap. Standard ($25/year) lifts that to 5 polls per calendar month. Pro ($75/year) goes unlimited and adds color themes, voting deadlines, hide-results, and removing the "Made with Polls for Gmail" footer.

What's the difference between Standard and Pro?

Standard gives you 5 polls per calendar month — a quota that resets on the 1st. Pro is unlimited polls plus the advanced controls: color themes (Classic / Mint / Lavender), a voting deadline that auto-closes the poll, hiding results from voters until you choose to share them, removing the "Made with…" footer, CSV export, and priority email support. Pick Standard if 5 polls per month covers you; pick Pro for unlimited + the advanced toolkit.

How much does Polls for Gmail Pro cost?

Pro is $75 per year — billed once annually, cancel anytime. It includes unlimited polls plus color themes, voting deadlines, hide-results, remove branding, CSV export, and priority email support. If 5 polls per calendar month is enough for you, Standard is $25/year.

When does the Standard monthly quota reset?

The quota resets at the start of every calendar month (UTC). If you've used your 5 polls in June, the meter goes back to zero on July 1st. There's nothing to click — the next poll you create after midnight UTC counts against the new month.

Can I see results in real time?

Yes. As recipients vote, results update live in your Polls for Gmail dashboard. You can close a poll at any time to lock in the final results.
