Why People Choose It Over Doodle

Doodle is covered in ads and requires premium for basic features:

No ads — clean, fast interface
No account required — for anyone
Self-hosted — meeting data stays private
Open source — customizable, transparent

A manager spent 15 minutes per week on email chains trying to schedule team meetings. With Rallly, they send a poll link — everyone votes in 30 seconds, best time auto-selected.
