When2meet poll
A When2meet poll without painting a grid
Propose a few times, share one link, and let everyone vote Yes, Maybe or No. No ads, no sign-up for the people you invite, and one tap to lock the winning slot.
How the poll works in four steps
- 1
Tap the times you can offer
Open the weekly calendar and tap the slots worth putting to a vote. Drag to lengthen a block, drag an edge to change the duration, and hold shift to select several at once. Three to six candidates is the sweet spot.
- 2
Share one poll link
Every poll gets a single unlisted link. Paste it into Slack, Teams, WhatsApp or an email thread. The people you invite never create an account, which is the biggest driver of how many actually answer.
- 3
Collect Yes, Maybe or No per slot
Each person answers every proposed time. The tally under each slot updates live, and times render in each voter's own time zone, so nobody converts hours in their head and gets it wrong.

Lock the winning time
The best-supported slot is highlighted. Lock it, attach a video link if the meeting is remote, and everyone adds it to Google, Outlook, Apple or Yahoo Calendar in one tap with the meeting link inside the invite.

What each person does
Grid: Paints every hour they are free onto a full week grid.
Decider poll: Answers a handful of concrete slots Yes, Maybe or No.
What you get back
Grid: A heatmap you still have to read and interpret yourself.
Decider poll: A ranked result with the strongest time highlighted.
Ads on the voting page
Grid: When2meet shows ads to the people you invited.
Decider poll: No ads anywhere on the Decider voting page.
Time zones
Grid: Requires each person to set a zone correctly up front.
Decider poll: Every slot renders in the viewer's own local time automatically.
Finishing the decision

Decider poll: Organizer account keeps every poll in one dashboard.
When2meet poll questions
What is a When2meet poll?
People usually mean one of two things: the availability grid that When2meet itself offers, or any poll used to find a group meeting time. Decider does the second, using concrete proposed times and Yes, Maybe or No votes instead of a painted grid.
Is Decider a free When2meet alternative?
Yes. Creating a poll is free, the people you invite vote for free without signing up, and there are no ads on the voting page.
Do voters need an account?
No. They open the link, enter a name, and answer each proposed time. Only the organizer signs in, so the poll can be managed and the final time locked.
Which is better, an availability grid or a poll?
A grid is useful when no day is obviously better and you want wide-open availability. A poll is faster when you already know a few plausible times, because each person answers in seconds and the result is a decision rather than data to interpret.
How does it handle people in other countries?
Each proposed slot is converted to the viewer's own time zone automatically, so a colleague abroad sees their correct local hour without doing any math.
Can I change the times after sharing the poll?
Yes. Add or remove proposed times from your dashboard and the shared link stays the same, so you do not have to re-invite anyone.
