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.
Yes. Creating polls, responding, calendar import, automatic time zones, and email notifications are all free with no participant limits. Timespree is ad-supported, so there is no paid plan gating core features.
No. Anyone with the link can respond right away on any device. An optional account exists only for organizers who want to manage the polls they have created.
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.
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.
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.
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.
