7 best LettuceMeet alternatives in 2026

LettuceMeet is a good free tool and most people looking for an alternative want one specific thing: calendar support beyond Google. Meetly imports Google, Outlook, Apple iCloud and any .ics feed. Timeful is the open-source option. Rallly self-hosts. Doodle is the paid suite. This list ranks seven by the gap each one closes.

LettuceMeet does not have many complaints against it. It is free, it shows no ads, the grid works well on a phone, and signing in with Google puts your real events behind the cells. The reason people go looking is almost always the same: somebody in the group is not on Google.

What are people actually missing?

  • Calendars other than Google. Outlook and Apple users get no overlay and fill in from memory.
  • Availability that stays current. The overlay is a snapshot taken when you fill in, not a live connection.
  • Anything after the vote. No reminders, no invitee tracking, no invite, no meeting link.
  • Ranked suggestions. You read the heatmap and decide for yourself.
  • Whole-day polls. Deciding which weekend works needs a different shape of question than a time grid.

    Meetly vs Outlook Scheduling Poll

Is there a LettuceMeet alternative that works with Outlook?

Meetly reads Outlook through Microsoft sign-in, and falls back to a published calendar link or .ics upload when a tenant blocks third-party app consent. Outlook Scheduling Poll is the native choice if everyone is in one tenant.

Is LettuceMeet going away?

There is no indication of that. It is free, ad-free and actively used. Most people switch for calendar coverage rather than because anything is wrong with it.

What is the best open-source LettuceMeet alternative?

Timeful, formerly Schej, is closest in spirit because it also pulls the calendar into the grid. Rallly is the stronger choice if self-hosting is the priority.
