Where each one is strongest

Simply Voting

  • You need telephone voting — Simply Voting lists it as a premium feature.
  • You need online nominations, weighted votes or voter segmentation — Simply Voting lists them as premium features.
  • You want a managed election run for you — Simply Voting offers managed elections by quote.

OpaVote

  • You need Borda, Condorcet or STV counts — OpaVote lists them; Ballotis does not create them.
  • You need weighted voting — OpaVote lists it.
  • You are running a small vote and price decides: OpaVote lists $10 for 125 voters and $80 for 1,000; Ballotis lists $49 for 250 and $149 for 1,000.

These are the same points we make on each product’s own comparison page, unchanged. Competitor details checked on 5 Oct 2026 against Simply Voting’s and OpaVote’s own sites; where a vendor does not publish something, we say so rather than guess.

If you are still shortlisting

Ballotis is ours, so treat this paragraph accordingly. It publishes every price, charges a 0% platform fee today, and each of our comparison pages says plainly where the other product is the better choice — including the two above. If your RFP turns on named references, ask us what we can supply.
