Pigeonhole Live

Pigeonhole Live is a polished audience Q&A and polling tool for teams that need structured interaction without buying a full event platform.

Honest Limitations

Plan Structure Needs Attention

Meeting, event, one-time, annual, and enterprise plans have different participant, duration, and collaboration rules.

Free Plan Is Limited

Basic is useful for trials, but moderation, direct replies, admin collaboration, and higher participant counts require paid plans.

Internet Required

Pigeonhole is a web-based engagement layer, so poor venue connectivity can affect participation.

Not A Full Event Platform

It does not replace registration, mobile event apps, session scheduling, or networking tools.

Workspace Sharing Can Affect Operations

Per-event Pigeonholes are single-account by default; team workspaces may be needed for collaborative production.

Pricing Breakdown
Plan Price Details
Basic Free Up to 100 participants for events, limited Q&A, polls, quizzes, surveys, event insights, passcode, agenda, speaker profiles, and themes

Hidden Costs to Watch

  • ! Upgrading for participant capacity, moderation, collaboration, or longer duration
  • ! Production time to build questions, polls, surveys, and moderation workflows
  • ! Venue Wi-Fi or streaming support for hybrid rooms
  • ! Enterprise workspace, SSO, or compliance requirements

Pigeonhole Live is a focused interaction layer for moments when audience input matters. It handles Q&A, polls, quizzes, surveys, and moderation without forcing planners into a full event management suite.

The main work is choosing the right plan and production model. Confirm participant limits, duration, moderator access, exports, and room connectivity before using it for a high-profile session.
