How do I find a time with a group?
Propose a handful of times, send everyone one link, and book the time most people can make. In SavvyCal, click or drag across your week to propose times. Your own calendar sits right underneath, so you can see conflicts before you offer a time.
Add teammates who share their availability with you, and their busy times show up too. Set how long the meeting runs and where it happens, from Zoom or Google Meet to a conference room.
Do voters need an account?
No. Send the link however you like. Voters tick every time that works and add their name and email, and that’s the hard part done.
- No account needed. Voters pick their times, then add their name and email. No sign-up, no password.
- Their time zone. Every time shows up in the voter’s own time zone, not yours.
- Their calendar, if they like. Voters can sign in with Google, Microsoft, or Fastmail to see their own events over the poll. That creates a free SavvyCal account; voting alone doesn’t.
- Second thoughts welcome. Need to change something? Voting again with the same email replaces the earlier picks.
What happens when the votes are in?
We email you as each vote comes in. Every time shows how many people can make it, and the top two are marked.
Hit Schedule on the winner, and SavvyCal puts the meeting on your calendar, invites the voters you choose, and closes the poll.
Are meeting polls really free?
Yes. Meeting polls are free on every SavvyCal plan, including a free account, with no cap on polls, times, or voters and no ads. Scheduling links, where people book you directly, start at $10 per user per month, billed annually.
What don’t SavvyCal polls do?
- “If need be” votes
- Voters pick the times that work. There’s no “if need be” or “maybe” answer, and each vote needs at least one time.
- All-day or date-only options
- Every option is a time slot of the same length, up to 12 hours. Polls can’t offer whole days or dates without times.
- Deadlines and reminders
- Polls stay open until you schedule a time or close them. SavvyCal doesn’t remind people who haven’t voted.
- Holding proposed times
- Proposed times aren’t held on your calendar while people vote, so other bookings can still take them.
Poll questions
Something we didn’t cover? Drop us a line.
Are SavvyCal meeting polls free?
Yes, on every plan, including a free account. There’s no limit on polls, proposed times, or voters, and no ads for you or the people voting.
Do voters need a SavvyCal account?
No. Voters pick their times and enter their name and email. Seeing their own calendar over the poll is optional, and signing in with Google, Microsoft, or Fastmail to do it creates a free SavvyCal account.
Can voters see each other's votes?
By default, each time shows how many people picked it and who they are. Turn that off in the poll settings, and voters don’t see who else voted.
Can voters answer “if need be”?
No. Voters pick the times that work for them, and each vote needs at least one time. There’s no “if need be” or “maybe” answer.
Do polls have a deadline or send reminders?
No. A poll stays open until you schedule a time or close it, and SavvyCal doesn’t remind people who haven’t voted. You can reopen a closed poll as long as you haven’t scheduled from it.
Can a poll offer all-day or multi-day options?
No. Every option is a time slot, and all the options in a poll are the same length, up to 12 hours.
Can I invite people who didn't vote?
Yes. Add attendees to the poll, and when you schedule, choose who gets the invite, whether they voted or not.
Can I hide the SavvyCal branding?
On Premium, you can hide the SavvyCal badge on your poll pages, and host them on your own domain.
