A Polly alternative for teams that want the whole workflow
Gather input and run your team rhythms in Slack, then turn the outcomes into tracked tasks, issues, and reminders automatically.
Viably and Polly, side by side
Polly is built around polls, surveys, and pulse checks inside Slack and Teams, and it is a capable way to gather structured input and measure engagement. Its focus stays on collecting responses and reporting on them.
Viably approaches team rhythm from the side of action. Reactions and Via turn a conversation into tasks, issues, reminders, and recognition, so the decisions your team reaches become tracked work rather than a set of results sitting in a dashboard.
How the two compare
| Capability | Viably | Polly |
|---|---|---|
| Primary job | Turning messages into tracked tasks, issues, and reminders | Polls, surveys, and pulse checks |
| Follow-through | Outcomes become assignable tasks with due dates | Response reporting |
| Recognition | Built-in medals and leaderboard | Not the focus |
| AI assistant | Via files issues, creates tasks, and answers over OpenRouter | Limited |
| Breadth | Tasks, issues, reminders, calendar, medals, webhooks, AI chat | Polls, surveys, and engagement measurement |
| Pricing model | Free plan, then a flat Viably+ price per workspace | Per-user subscription tiers |
An honest read on the fit
Viably fits teams whose real need is turning Slack conversations into tracked work and recognition, and who would rather run one modular coworker than add a dedicated polling product to the stack.
Polly is the better choice for teams whose central requirement is frequent, structured polling and survey analytics, and who want a product engineered specifically around measuring responses at scale.
