Audience response system — FAQ

An audience response system lets everyone in a room respond or vote from their own device, with results collected and displayed live. Traditional systems used dedicated handheld "clickers"; modern ones like ScoreJudge run in the phone's browser — you share one link or QR code, the audience scores the entries, and the leaderboard updates on the big screen in real time. No hardware, no app, no accounts.

You create a competition, add the entries (acts, dishes, demos, presentations), and pick how the audience votes — numeric scoring on your criteria, or drag-to-rank. You then display a single QR code on the main screen. Audience members scan it, score every entry from their phone, and submit once. Scores aggregate instantly into a live leaderboard you can project during the event. See the step-by-step setup guide for the full walkthrough.

Yes. The free plan runs a real event with up to 25 unique voters per competition — no credit card, no time limit, and no ads on the voting screen. The Plus plan raises the cap to 250 voters and the Pro plan removes it entirely. See the pricing page for details.

No. Voters open the link in any phone browser and start scoring — iOS, Android, or desktop. There is no app to install, no account to create, and no password. That is the single biggest reason a phone-based audience response system beats clicker hardware: there is nothing to hand out and nothing to collect afterwards.

Slido and Poll Everywhere are polling and Q&A tools — built around asking the audience one question with several answer options. ScoreJudge is built around scoring a list of entries against criteria, with a real leaderboard at the end. For a conference Q&A, a polling tool is the right fit; for a talent show, cook-off, or awards night, you want entry-based scoring. See the Slido alternatives comparison for the full breakdown.

Yes — anonymous voting is the default. Voters do not give a name or email, which encourages honest scoring and removes social pressure. Built-in per-device duplicate prevention keeps one device to one ballot, so casual double-voting is blocked without forcing anyone to log in.

The free plan supports up to 25 unique voters per competition, Plus covers 250, and Pro is unlimited. Whether it's a 20-person classroom or a 500-person awards night, votes are submitted as a single ballot per device, which keeps the system light on venue Wi-Fi.
