A more complete alternativeto Rallly.
Rallly gets the basics right — simple polls, no ads. Meetsched keeps that spirit and adds what's missing: Yes/Maybe/No voting, deadline reminders, calendar sync, and a real event flow after the poll closes.
Why switch from Rallly?
Yes / Maybe / No voting
Rallly is yes-or-no only. The 'maybe' option captures real availability and makes the winning slot far more accurate.
Deadline reminders
Automatic 24h/48h/custom reminders nudge participants before your poll closes. Rallly has no reminder system.
Poll → event → RSVP
Turn the winning time into a managed event with RSVPs and Google Calendar sync. Rallly stops at sending a calendar invite.
Smart time recommendation
Meetsched scores every slot and recommends the best one — you don't have to eyeball a grid to find the winner.

To be fair: Rallly is open source and self-hostable — if running your own instance matters to you, that's a genuine advantage. If you just want the most capable hosted scheduling poll, Meetsched does more for slightly less.
