Who can when? is an alternative to LettuceMeet for groups choosing between a handful of candidate dates rather than mapping a whole week of availability. Each person taps yes, maybe or no against each proposed date instead of dragging across a time grid, which takes seconds and works properly on a phone. Both are free and neither needs an account.
Grid tools ask for a lot
A continuous availability grid is a good instrument when you genuinely do not know which day, let alone which hour, and you are willing to spend everyone's attention finding out. It asks each person to map a week of their life onto a canvas.
Most groups are not answering that question. They are choosing between four evenings someone already had in mind, and asking for a full availability map to make that choice costs answers you did not need to lose.
What changes
- Three taps a person, not a drag.
- Works on a phone without pinching, because buttons always did.
- Maybe is a real answer, kept separate from yes and from no.
- Times where you want them, so an evening can be offered at two different hours as two options.
- A calendar invitation goes out when you pick the winner.
When a grid is still better
Finding a one-hour window inside a single specific week, for a group whose free time is scattered and unpredictable. There is no honest way to compress that into six options, and a grid earns its input cost. Everything else - most social plans, most team dinners, most recurring club nights - is a choice between a few dates.
Common questions
- Can I propose times as well as days?
- Yes. A date can carry a time, so Thursday at 18:00 and Thursday at 20:00 can be two separate options.
- How many people can answer?
- Up to 50 people and 20 dates in one date poll.
- Do people need an account?
- No, and neither do you. Signing in is optional and only collects your date polls in one place.
