LettuceMeet

Availability polls shared by link

Pick a range of dates or a single day and the hours to choose between, then share the meeting link. Everyone's availability is overlaid so the best slot is easy to spot.

Guest responses

People can continue as a guest to add their availability without signing up. An email address given by a guest is used only for updates about that meeting.

Google and Outlook calendar connection

Registered users can connect a Google or Outlook calendar to see their events underneath the grid while filling in availability. LettuceMeet says it never stores event information.

Group and one-on-one meetings

A meeting is created as Group, for three or more people, or as One on One, for the organizer and one other person. The One on One type is labelled beta.

Meeting length limit

An advanced option limits the scheduled meeting time to a set length, from 30 minutes to 3 hours in half-hour steps.

Profile and notifications

With an account, meetings you created or responded to are listed under your profile and can be changed later, and you are notified when someone responds or a meeting is scheduled.

One-form event setup

The home page is the setup form: type an event name, click and drag across a calendar to choose candidate dates, and press Create Event.

Specific dates or days of the week

A survey can ask about particular calendar dates or about days of the week in general, chosen from a menu when the event is created.

Time window and time zone

Set the earliest and latest times to offer and pick the event's time zone. Day-of-week surveys expect all participants to be in a single time zone.

No billing or contact details

The site states that it is a free service and does not ask for contact or billing information.

Translated interface

The page looks for a translation that matches the browser's preferred language and falls back to English when none is available.
