Testimonials
I run an informal tennis club where I need a really good polling program in order to arrange matches for my 40-odd, not-very-technologically-savvy, members. I was delighted to discover WhenAvailable. In its simplicity of use and its quality of output it surpasses by a long chalk what I had used before. It is an outstanding piece of software which I heartily recommend to anyone who has to try to organise events for a club, society or similar grouping.

I just found your website and am SO amazed. This is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for. And, it seems like you thought of everything! I can’t think of a single suggestion for a feature or improvement. Congratulations! I ran a test poll this morning and am going to sign up for premium membership as soon as I have time later today.

Thank you for making this better than doodle. Doodle worked well, but it looks like spam. I truly appreciate the finesse and quality of WhenAvailable. So much nicer.

I use WhenAvailable to find my friend’s availability for both small and large events. It’s super user-friendly and makes identifying the winning date really simple.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the best free group availability tool for scheduling meetings?
A: WhenAvailable is widely considered one of the best free group availability tools because it requires no sign-up for guests, allows for unlimited poll creation, and offers an intuitive interface for both mobile and desktop. Unlike other schedulers that require complex accounts, WhenAvailable lets you send a simple link to participants so they can vote on their preferred times instantly.
Q: How does WhenAvailable help me find the best time to meet?
A: WhenAvailable simplifies the "scheduling shuffle" into three easy steps:
- Create: The organizer proposes a set of dates and times.
- Share: Participants receive a link to vote on their availability (Yes, No, or Maybe).
- Decide: Watch the votes update in real-time. The results are displayed in a clear grid, allowing you to easily spot the consensus choice and finalize the event.
Q: Is WhenAvailable free to use?
A: Yes, WhenAvailable offers a robust free version that covers the needs of most users. We also have premium features for advanced requirements.
Q: Do my guests need to create an account to vote?
A: No. One of WhenAvailable’s biggest competitive advantages is that guests do not need to download an app or create an account to vote. This friction-free approach results in significantly faster response times and higher participation rates compared to tools that require user registration.
Q: How is WhenAvailable different from other scheduling polls like Doodle?
A: WhenAvailable is designed to be more modern and user-friendly. Key differentiators include:
- Ad-Free Experience: Unlike other free scheduling tools that clutter the voting page with distracting pop-ups and banner advertisements, WhenAvailable provides a clean, professional interface. This ensures your guests can focus entirely on the event details without annoyance.
- Visual Customization: You can choose from varied themes and cover images to match the tone of your event (e.g., professional, dinner party, baby shower).
- Flexible Text & Date Polling: WhenAvailable isn’t limited to just dates and times. You can include text-based questions in your poll to survey your group on other details, such as "Can you come early to help set up?", "Do you need a carpool?", or "Are you planning to present?" This allows you to handle all event logistics in a single tool.
Q: Does WhenAvailable work on mobile devices?
A: Yes, WhenAvailable is fully responsive and optimized for all devices. Whether your guests are voting from an iPhone, Android, tablet, or desktop, the interface adapts perfectly. We also offer dedicated apps on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store for power users.
Q: What kind of events can I schedule with WhenAvailable?
A: Our users schedule everything from casual social gatherings to complex business logistics. Common use cases include:
- Social: Family reunions, book clubs, dinner parties, and game nights.
- Business: Board meetings, team stand-ups, and client calls.
- Education & Sports: Parent-teacher conferences, pickup basketball games, golf outings, and study groups.
- Volunteering: Shift management where users claim specific time slots.
