Free scheduler
A free scheduler app that needs no app store
Decider runs in the browser and can be pinned to your phone home screen like any app. Propose a few times, share one link, and watch the answers land. Free for organisers, free for guests, and no ads on the page you send out.
How to schedule for free in four steps
- 1
Open it on the device you already have
Phone, tablet or laptop, on Android or iPhone. Add it to your home screen if you want a one-tap shortcut, or just bookmark the site.
- 2
Add the times you can offer
Tap or drag times onto the calendar and set the length once. Drag the edge of a slot to make it longer or shorter.
- 3
Share the link with the group
One link in chat or email covers everyone. Each guest sees the times in their own zone and votes Yes, Maybe or No.
- 4
Lock it and send the invite
Lock the winner and everyone adds it to their calendar in one tap, with a video link if the meeting is remote.
What free actually means here
- Creating polls, sharing them and collecting votes costs nothing, with no trial that expires.
- No ads shown to the people you invite, unlike several free scheduling plans.
- No guest accounts and no email harvesting, so the link works for anyone you send it to.
- No cap that quietly blocks your fifth poll of the month.
- An optional Pro plan exists for calendar connections, but the group scheduling itself stays free.
Ready to put this into a poll?
Tap a few times, share one link, and let the group vote. Most groups have the time settled the same day.
What “free” actually covers
Free here means the whole flow a group needs: unlimited polls, unlimited participants, every time zone converted automatically, a built-in video link, and calendar export for everyone once a time is locked. No trial clock, no card, no cap on how many people can vote.
The people you invite never pay and never register. That is the part worth checking on any scheduler calling itself free — plenty are free for the organiser and push an account signup onto every guest, which is where the replies stop coming.
The paid Pro plan exists for one thing: connecting the organiser's own calendar so their busy times show while proposing. If you do not want that, nothing about the free plan expires.
Free schedulers that are not really free
The three patterns to watch for are a participant cap that bites exactly when the group gets big enough to need a poll, a free tier funded by ads on the page your guests see, and a time-limited trial that quietly becomes a paywall once your polls are live and shared.
The reason to name them is that all three are invisible until you are already committed. A poll you have sent to twenty people is not something you want to migrate.
Who uses the free scheduler
Small teams and freelancers
Groups with no budget for another seat-based tool, who still need to land a time quickly.
Clubs, teams and societies
Training sessions and committee meetings where members are volunteers on personal email.
Students and study groups
Timetables that overlap in awkward ways and change every term.
Friends and family
Dinners, trips and birthdays, where anything more complicated than a link will not get used.
Free scheduler questions
Is the free scheduler really free?
Yes. Creating and sharing scheduling polls is free with no time limit, and the people you invite never pay or register.
Is there a scheduler app to download?
There is no app store download. Decider is a website that behaves like an app, and you can add it to your home screen on iPhone or Android for a one-tap icon.
What is in the paid plan then?
Pro connects your own Google, Outlook or Apple calendar so your busy times are shown while you propose slots, with a colour per calendar and priority support. Group scheduling itself does not need it.
Are there ads?
No. There are no ads anywhere, including the voting page your guests see.
Is there a limit on participants?
No small cap, so the same flow handles a group of four or forty. Fewer, better-chosen slots usually works better for very large groups.
