A more complete alternativeto Rallly.
Rallly gets the basics right — simple polls, no ads. Meetsched keeps that spirit and adds what's missing: deadline reminders, calendar sync, and a real event flow after the poll closes.
Why switch from Rallly?
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.
