Rallly alternatives for group meeting polls

Rallly is a simple open-source date poll, with Yes, If need be and No answers, and self-hosting it is a real advantage for some teams. If you would rather not run a server, or want a video link created for you when the time is locked, these are the alternatives.

How to run the same poll on Decider

  1. Draw the candidate slots

    Tap times on a weekly calendar rather than typing dates one by one. Drag to move a slot and pull an edge to change its length.

  2. Share the voting link

    Copy one link into your chat or email. Guests need no account and no email address to answer.

  3. Watch the votes land

    Results update live, with Yes, Maybe and No per person, so you can see the leading slot without waiting for the last reply.

  4. Lock and export

    Lock the decision and everyone adds it to Google, Outlook or Apple Calendar with the meeting link attached.

What to compare when replacing Rallly

  • Hosting. Rallly can be self-hosted, which is great for control and extra work to maintain. Decider is hosted, with nothing to run.
  • Time zones. Check that each guest sees slots in their own local time rather than the organizer's.
  • Maybe votes. Two-state polls force people to guess, which is how a slot gets locked and then falls apart.
  • Calendar export. The decision is only useful once it is in everyone's calendar.
  • Guest accounts. Any sign-up step cuts your response rate, especially with clients and volunteers.

The main alternatives

Decider

Hosted and free to create, with no ads and no guest account. It has Yes, Maybe and No answers, automatic time zones, calendar export and a built-in video link.

Doodle

The best-known option with the widest feature set. Guests see ads on the free tier.

When2meet

A free availability grid. Fast for small groups, harder to read as the group grows.

Xoyondo

Free polls with a few extras such as text polls. Interface is dense compared with newer tools.

Rallly questions

Is Rallly free?

Yes, the hosted version has a free plan, on which inactive polls are deleted, and a paid Pro plan that keeps them. The project is open source, so you can also self-host it. Compare on features and hosting effort rather than price alone.

Is Decider open source?

No. It is a hosted service, free to create polls with. If self-hosting is a hard requirement, Rallly is the better fit and we would say so.

Can guests vote without an account?

Yes. On Decider only the organizer signs in, so the people you invite open the link and vote.

Can I include a video meeting link?

Yes. When you lock the time, Decider can create a Jitsi video link, and it travels into the calendar invite.

What about recurring meetings?

Poll once to find the slot that works, lock it, and set the repeat in your own calendar.
