|---|---|---|
| Value for money | AIt's free. The site calls itself 100% free and lists no paid plan at all, so there's nothing to weigh up. | AEverything is free. The FAQ says so, the terms of use say so, and there's no paid plan anywhere on the site. |
| Free plan and trial | AThe whole thing is free, and guests can answer without an account. A free account adds a Google or Outlook calendar connection, editing and notifications. The price you pay is ads: the cookie notice says marketing cookies are used for them. | AThe product is free, and the FAQ says there are no adverts and that everything works without an account. Free polls with neither ads nor a sign-up are not common, so that's worth a mention. |
| Features | BOne job, done fully: pick dates and hours, share a link, and everyone's availability is overlaid. You can see your own calendar under the grid and cap the meeting length. The One on One type is still labelled beta, and only registered users can edit a meeting. | BOne job, done fully: slots of 15, 30 or 60 minutes or whole days, times adjusted to each invitee's own time zone, and results that show near misses with a red dot per person who can't make it. But calendar integration is only an iCal export of the chosen time. |
| Ease of use | BNothing to install, and your guests don't have to sign up to answer. Hard to make it simpler. We have no App Store rating on record to go by, so it stops at a B. | BClick the grid, press Create Event, send the link. No password to choose even if you make an account, as login is a six-digit code by email. There's no rating on record to go by, so a B at best. |

The site lists no phone or desktop app. | CA web page and nothing else. No phone or desktop app is listed, and it doesn't connect to any calendar or video tool.

Worth knowing
LettuceMeet
- Web only: the site lists no mobile or desktop app.
- Meetings can be edited only by registered users; guests who try are prompted to sign up.
- The cookie notice says marketing cookies are used to provide customized ads.
- The privacy policy in the app was last updated on April 24, 2018.
WhenIsGood
- Event links have no passwords; the FAQ relies on the random invitation URL being hard to guess.
- The FAQ describes calendar integration only as an iCal (.ics) export of the chosen time, so availability is entered by hand.
- Without an account, you need the results code from the event-created page to see responses later.
- The site text is in English only; the language box changes how dates, times and numbers are written.
Key features
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.
WhenIsGood
- Paint-the-grid event setup
- Click the grid for the dates and times you propose, optionally name the event, and press Create Event to get a link for invitees and a results code for yourself.
- Results with near misses
- Times that suit everyone show in green, and near misses carry red dots for the people who cannot make them. Respondents are listed from most flexible to least flexible.
- Adjustable slots and hours
- Buttons switch the grid between 15-, 30- and 60-minute slots or whole days, and the options panel widens the hours beyond the default 8am to 6pm.
- Time zone support
- With time zones switched on, proposed times are adjusted to each invitee's own zone, and the results page produces text showing the chosen time for every invitee.
- Optional account and dashboard
- Logging in with an emailed six-digit code, with no password to choose, collects your events and responses on a dashboard so results codes do not have to be kept.
- Email alerts and iCal export
- An organizer can ask for an email whenever someone responds. Clicking the chosen time on the results grid gives an iCal (.ics) link to add to a calendar or attach to an email.
