VoteBot vs PollBot

VoteBot (@vote) wins this one for almost everybody: it is Telegram's official poll maker, 213 thousand people use it monthly, it posts inline into channels as well as groups, keeps one live tally across every copy and lets you choose anonymous or public voting. PollBot (@PollBot) does the same three steps — question, options, share by button — and can close a poll to show results, for about 16 thousand users; it is free and minimal, but it is not official and does not work in channels. There is no feature here that PollBot has and VoteBot lacks. Keep PollBot as a spare for a quick group poll when, for whatever reason, you would rather not use the official bot.
