Seven Digits Dilemmas: A First Look at the New WordPress Two-Option Poll Plugin

What Seven Digits Dilemmas Actually Does

Seven Digits Dilemmas is a WordPress plugin, distributed through the official WordPress.org plugin repository, that lets you drop a simple "this or that" style poll — called a dilemma — directly into a post or page. Instead of a typical multi-option survey, each dilemma presents exactly two choices. A reader clicks one, and the plugin immediately renders live results as animated percentage bars, without a page reload.

Under the hood, votes are written straight into your own WordPress database (your wp_ tables, via a custom table the plugin creates on activation), not to a third-party SaaS backend. To stop the same visitor from voting twice, it combines a browser cookie with a hashing routine on the vote submission — a lightweight fraud-prevention approach rather than full IP-based or account-based verification. There's also a statistics dashboard in wp-admin where you can see vote totals and split percentages per dilemma, which is useful if you're running these across multiple posts and want to see which ones actually got engagement.

Because it's a native WordPress plugin rather than an embedded iframe from an external polling service, dilemmas load with your page (no third-party script pulling data off-site), and the vote data physically lives on your own hosting. That's a meaningfully different privacy posture than embedding a Typeform or Riddle widget.

Pricing

At the time of this writing, Seven Digits Dilemmas has no published pricing page, no listed pro tier, and no upsell inside the plugin listing itself — it's distributed as a standard free download through the WordPress.org repository, which requires the plugin's core code to be GPL-licensed and free to install. In practice that means:

• Installation and core dilemma functionality: free, same as any other WordPress.org-hosted plugin.
• No premium/pro version has been announced or found in the plugin's changelog or readme at this point.
• No usage caps, vote limits, or paywalled features are documented — everything described in the plugin listing (dilemma creation, live percentage bars, cookie/hash fraud prevention, stats dashboard) appears to ship in the free version.

The caveat worth flagging: because this is a newly launched plugin, it's common for WordPress.org plugins to introduce a paid "Pro" add-on later (extra question types, export tools, integrations) once an install base builds up. If you're evaluating this for a client site or a long-term content strategy, it's worth checking the plugin's WordPress.org page directly before you build a poll strategy around it, since pricing terms aren't locked in anywhere official yet.

Who This Is Actually For

This plugin is narrow by design, and that's its strength and its limit at the same time.

• Content publishers and bloggers who want a one-click engagement element inside an article — e.g., "Should remote workers get a stipend for coffee, or not?" — without sending readers off-site to a third-party form.
• News and opinion sites running lightweight "where do you stand" polls attached to individual stories, where the goal is engagement and dwell time, not rigorous data collection.
• Small business or niche sites that want reader feedback (e.g., "Which product photo do you prefer?") but don't want to pay for a SaaS survey tool or manage an external account.
• Site owners with GDPR/privacy concerns who'd rather keep vote data in their own database than route it through a U.S.-hosted survey platform.

It is not a fit if you need branching logic, more than two answer options, quiz scoring, lead-capture forms, NPS surveys, or live audience-response tech for in-person events — none of that is in scope here.

How It Compares

	Seven Digits Dilemmas	Riddle.com	Typeform (Polls)	Poll Everywhere
Price	Free (WordPress.org plugin, no pro tier published yet)	Paid plans starting around $60–$70/month billed annually (Solo tier); higher tiers for teams run into the hundreds/month	Free plan is very limited; paid plans start around $25/month (Basic), scaling to $80+/month (Business)	Free tier caps at ~25 respondents; paid plans start around $10–$15/month per presenter for individuals, with custom pricing for business/education accounts
Question format	Fixed two-option "dilemma" format only	Multiple formats: quizzes, polls, personality tests, multi-option surveys	Multi-option forms, NPS, rating scales, open text	Multiple-choice, word clouds, Q&A, ranking — built for live audiences
Where data lives	Your own WordPress database	Riddle's cloud servers	Typeform's cloud servers	Poll Everywhere's cloud servers
Embed method	Native WordPress shortcode/block, no iframe	Embedded iframe/JS widget	Embedded iframe/JS widget	Embedded widget or live presentation mode
Best for	Quick, native, privacy-friendly binary polls inside blog content	Marketers wanting lead-gen quizzes and detailed analytics/branding	Teams needing polished multi-step forms and NPS-style feedback	Live events, classrooms, and presentations needing real-time audience polling

The honest takeaway from this table: Seven Digits Dilemmas isn't competing head-on with any of these three tools feature-for-feature. Riddle, Typeform, and Poll Everywhere are all SaaS products with broader question types, hosted analytics, and monthly subscriptions. Seven Digits Dilemmas is a much smaller, single-purpose tool — its whole value proposition is that it's free, WordPress-native, and does exactly one thing (binary polls) without needing an external account.

Verdict

If what you want is a fast, no-signup, no-monthly-fee way to add a single yes/no or A-vs-B poll inside a WordPress post — and you're comfortable with the data living in your own database with cookie-based (not bulletproof) fraud prevention — Seven Digits Dilemmas does that job cleanly and costs nothing to try today. It's worth installing on a staging site this afternoon if that's your use case.

If you need branching quizzes, lead capture, multi-option surveys, or live in-room audience polling, don't force this plugin to do that job — go straight to Riddle, Typeform, or Poll Everywhere, since that's what they're actually built for. And because pricing and roadmap for Seven Digits Dilemmas aren't formally published yet, treat it as a genuinely free, no-strings tool for now rather than assuming a pro tier is coming — verify directly on the WordPress.org plugin page before you commit a content strategy to it long-term.
