Rallly alternatives for group meeting polls

Rallly is a clean open-source date poll, and self-hosting it is a genuine advantage for some teams. If you would rather not run a server, or you need time zones, Maybe votes and calendar export out of the box, 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 friction. Any sign-up step cuts your response rate, especially with clients and volunteers.

Rallly questions

Is Rallly free?

The hosted version has a free tier and paid plans, and the project is open source so you can 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 just open the link and vote.

Can I include a video meeting link?

Yes. Add your own or let Decider create one, and it travels into the calendar invite when you lock the time.

What about recurring meetings?

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