Crowdpurr

Crowdpurr is a browser-based audience engagement platform for live, virtual, and hybrid events. It fits event hosts, educators, and conference teams that need several activity formats and ways to present or stream them. The main trade-off is that capacity, question counts, and streaming time are tightly tied to the plan.

Overview

Crowdpurr combines live polls, trivia, social walls, and bingo in one event-oriented workspace. Participants join from any device browser without installing an app, making it practical when an audience arrives with mixed hardware. Anonymous responses are supported, and the platform is web-only rather than a native mobile product.

The service comes from Crowdpurr in Dayton, Ohio. Its freemium structure makes it possible to run a small activity at no cost, but larger audiences and recurring programs quickly move into paid tiers. There is no Premium free trial; the permanently free Basic Plan is the way to evaluate the service.

Key features

Hosts can put a Presentation View on a projector or television, stream it through YouTube Live, Twitch, or OBS, or share it in Zoom and Webex. A Webex Embedded App launches Crowdpurr inside a Webex meeting. OBS integration is reserved for the Conference Plan and above, so smaller plans are less suitable for production-style broadcasts.

The activity range is a practical strength. Alongside polls and quiz mode, teams can run trivia games, social walls, and bingo. More than 2,000 professionally written trivia games provide a substantial starting library. Crowdpurr AI can generate games, add questions, create notes, and rewrite questions, reducing preparation work while leaving hosts responsible for checking the resulting content.

Social Walls collect posts from X (Twitter) and Instagram by hashtag and accept participant photo uploads, which suits events built around social participation. There is no live Q&A and no slide integration, so it is not a complete replacement for a presentation or question-management stack.

Responses, results, lead capture, and rankings can be exported to Excel or Google Sheets. Crowdpurr says it runs on Amazon Web Services and uses SHA-256 AES/CBC encryption across SSL protocols. It says it does not sell or rent user or participant data, supports GDPR review, export, and deletion, and is working toward SOC II Type 2 compliance.

Pricing

The Basic Plan is free forever, allowing 20 participants per experience, 15 questions per experience, three simultaneous experiences, and 15 minutes of host live streaming. It is appropriate for small demonstrations or short sessions, but the caps rule it out for most sizeable events.

The Classroom Plan is $49.99 per month on a one-month license, with a $24.99 monthly option and $299.94 yearly billing at 50% off. It supports 100 participants, 100 questions, 10 simultaneous experiences, two team members, and 30 minutes of host streaming. This is the sensible tier for classes and modest workshops; the free plan gives up substantial capacity and question headroom.

The Seminar Plan costs $149.99 per month on a one-month license, or $74.99 monthly and $899.94 yearly at 50% off. It raises capacity to 500 participants, keeps 100 questions, and allows 25 simultaneous experiences, five team members, and 60 minutes of streaming. It fits larger seminars but still imposes a defined streaming window.

The Conference Plan is $249.99 per month, with $124.99 monthly or $1,499.94 yearly billing at 50% off. It handles 1,000 participants, 50 simultaneous experiences, 10 team members, 100 questions, and unlimited host live streaming. It is the first plan suited to major streamed events and adds OBS integration.

The Convention Plan costs $499.99 per month, or $249.99 monthly and $2,999.94 yearly at 50% off, for 5,000 participants, 100 simultaneous experiences, 25 team members, and live-stream recording. The Stadium Plan is $999.99 per month, or $499.99 monthly and $5,999.94 yearly at 50% off, supporting 15,000 participants, 150 simultaneous experiences, 50 team members, and 100 questions. These upper tiers target very large programs rather than occasional users.

Platforms

Crowdpurr runs on the web, while participants use supported browsers across devices. Presentation and streaming options extend to projectors, TVs, YouTube Live, Twitch, OBS, Zoom, and Webex. Classroom Plan customers and above receive phone and chat support, and a free demo is offered.

Who it's for

Crowdpurr is a strong fit for event producers, instructors, conference organizers, and hybrid meeting hosts who want polls, games, social content, and exports in one browser-based workflow. It is less suitable for teams centered on live Q&A, slide-authoring integration, or very small budgets once audience size exceeds the Basic Plan.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Four activity formats cover more than standard polling or quizzes.
• Browser participation removes app-install friction for mixed-device audiences.
• Presentation, meeting, and streaming options support in-room and remote events.
• Large trivia library and AI authoring tools reduce content preparation.
• Excel and Google Sheets exports make results and lead data reusable.

Cons

• No live Q&A or slide integration leaves gaps for presentation-led events.
• Free usage is limited to 20 participants, 15 questions, three experiences, and 15 streaming minutes.
• OBS support starts at the Conference Plan, making advanced streaming expensive.
• Paid plans cap questions at 100 per experience, even at the highest tiers.

Verdict

Crowdpurr is a good choice for event teams that want varied audience activities, browser participation, and presentation or streaming controls in one service. Choose it primarily for that breadth and its strong event exports; look elsewhere if live Q&A, slide integration, or generous low-cost capacity is central to your event.
