When Simply Voting is the better choice
We don't pretend a 10-year incumbent has no strengths. Pick Simply Voting if any of these match you.
- Your bylaws or jurisdiction require a third-party-attested audit for elections — Simply Voting has the certified-audit infrastructure we don't yet.
- You need IVR / telephone-fallback voting for elderly members.
- You need weighted member classes (different members count for different weights) — that's roadmap on Ballotis.
Why teams switch from Simply Voting to Ballotis
- Cryptographic verifiability — Simply Voting has audit logs; Ballotis has a tamper-evident hash chain anyone can re-walk independently.
- Published pricing on every tier; Simply Voting goes opaque above the entry tiers.
- Anti-fraud presets, ML fraud detection, embeddable widgets, public REST API.
Frequently asked questions
Is Ballotis a viable Simply Voting replacement for labor unions?
For LMRDA / DOL-compliant elections, Simply Voting has the cited audit attestation track record we don't yet. For HOA / association / professional-society elections that don't require a cited third-party auditor, Ballotis adds cryptographic verifiability at lower published pricing.
Does Ballotis have IVR voting?
No — telephone / IVR fallback is intentionally not on the roadmap. Ballotis is browser-first.
