How the scheduling poll works
Create your poll
Pick the dates and time range you want to offer. You get a shareable link in under a minute.
Share one link
Send it in any group chat or email. Nobody needs an account to respond, on any device.
Read the heatmap
Every response shades the grid. The darkest slot is your meeting time. Done.
Is this a scheduling survey tool?
Yes. A scheduling survey, meeting poll, and availability poll all collect the times a group can meet. Timespree uses a purpose-built grid instead of a general form: people mark every time they are free, and the heatmap calculates the strongest overlap without making you count answers manually. Read the complete scheduling survey guide or compare the best free scheduling tools.
Everything you need, nothing to pay for
The complete scheduling workflow stays free, from collecting availability to confirming the meeting.
Free with no limits
Create unlimited polls and collect unlimited responses, completely free to use.
No sign-up to respond
Respondents click your link and mark their availability immediately. Zero friction means more responses.
Flexible dates and hours
Offer exact times or full days, repeat a weekly date pattern, and use different working hours on different dates.
A heatmap that answers the question
See the strongest overlap immediately, then include or exclude individual responses to compare the group that must attend.
Multi-calendar import
Import busy times from Google, Outlook, or Apple. Connected Google and Outlook users can choose exactly which calendars count.
Confirm it, then calendar it
Finalize the winning time and let everyone add it to Google Calendar or Outlook, or download a standard ICS file.
Clear time zones
The grid names the event zone, and participants can choose a display zone for converted slot details.
Invitations, deadlines, and reminders
Invite people by email, set a response deadline, and remind anyone who has not answered before time runs out.
Practical organizer controls
Remove an accidental response, inspect participant notes privately, and export the complete response list as CSV.
Team workspaces
Invite teammates by email to a shared workspace and manage all your group's polls together, with a heads-up when someone joins.
A dashboard that stays tidy
Duplicate a poll with your availability, archive finished polls, and restore them later without losing responses.
Works on every phone
The availability grid is mobile-first, so tapping and dragging free times works properly on any screen without an app.

Frequently asked questions
What is a scheduling poll?
A scheduling poll is a shared page where a group finds a time to meet. The organizer proposes a date range, participants mark when they are free, and the tool shows the overlap. Timespree uses an availability heatmap, so the best time is visible at a glance instead of being buried in vote counts.
Is the scheduling poll really free?
Yes. Timespree is free to use. You can create polls, collect unlimited responses, import calendars, convert time zones, and send reminders at no cost. Participants do not need an account to respond.
Do participants need an account?
No. Anyone with the link can respond right away on any device. Signing in is optional and open to everyone — create a free account whenever you want to save and manage the polls you create or respond to.
How many people can respond to one poll?
There is no limit. The heatmap works for a 4-person friend group and a 60-person volunteer team alike; it simply gets more precise as responses arrive.
How is this different from a Doodle poll?
Doodle asks you to propose specific time slots and have people vote on them, and its free tier shows ads to participants while calendar sync requires a paid plan (from $6.95 per user per month, checked July 2026). Timespree uses a paint-the-grid availability heatmap, so nobody has to guess good slots up front, and calendar import is free.
How is this different from When2meet?
Same core workflow, modern execution. When2meet's grid is hard to use on phones and has no calendar integration or notifications. Timespree keeps the fast link-and-heatmap flow while fixing all three, and it is also free.
How do I share a scheduling poll?
Copy the poll link and paste it wherever your group already talks: a group chat, an email thread, a class forum, or a Slack channel. Anyone who opens the link can respond immediately without creating an account.
