WhenIsGood alternatives for finding a group time

WhenIsGood asks everyone to paint a grid of free time, then leaves the organizer to interpret it. If you want a clearer answer, these are the alternatives worth trying, and how Decider differs.

How to replace WhenIsGood in one poll

  1. Propose the times you can host

    Instead of asking for a full week of free time, offer three to six real slots at their real length. Fewer, better options are easier to answer and give a clearer result.

  2. Share one link with the group

    Guests open the link, add a name and vote. They need no account, email address or app. WhenIsGood gets this part right too, and it is worth keeping.

  3. Read Yes, Maybe and No per person

    A grid tells you when someone is free. A vote tells you what they think of your proposal, and Maybe captures the moveable conflict a grid cannot express.

  4. Lock the time and export the invite

    Lock the slot most people can make, and everyone adds it to Google, Outlook or Apple Calendar, with the meeting link attached.

What people usually want from a WhenIsGood alternative

  • A clearer result. Voting on named slots removes the guesswork of reading overlapping shaded blocks.
  • Automatic time zones. Everyone sees the same slot in their own local time instead of converting it by hand.
  • A page that works well on a phone, since most guests answer from one and a grid is hard to paint accurately with a thumb.
  • No ads on the page you send to colleagues, clients or candidates.
  • An organizer view that shows who has answered and who is still missing, so you can nudge the right people.

The main alternatives, briefly

Decider

Free poll on the slots you propose, with Yes, Maybe and No, live results, automatic time zones and calendar export. No account for guests.

When2meet

The closest match to WhenIsGood: a free availability grid. Same strengths and the same difficulty reading a result in a large group.

Doodle

The best-known scheduling poll. Strong feature set, but the free tier shows ads to the people you invite.

Rallly and Xoyondo

Lightweight poll tools. Good if you only need a bare date vote and nothing around it.

WhenIsGood questions

Is WhenIsGood still free?

Yes, it remains a free tool for collecting availability. People usually switch because of the grid interface and dated experience on mobile, not the price.

What is the closest alternative to WhenIsGood?

When2meet if you want the same availability-grid approach. Decider if you would rather propose specific slots and get a countable vote back.

Do guests need an account with Decider?

No. Only the organizer signs in. Everyone else votes straight from the link.

Does it handle time zones?

Yes. Each slot renders in the viewer's own time zone, which removes the most common cause of a missed call in a distributed group: a time read in the wrong zone.

Can I delete the poll afterwards?

Yes. As the organizer you can delete a poll, which removes its responses with it.
