Rallly compared with Autoki
Rallly is a meeting poll: propose times, share a link, and people vote Yes, If need be, or No. Autoki is a time grid with yes, maybe, and no. Both can be used without an account. Rallly emails a calendar invite when you finalize. Autoki does not.

When to pick Rallly
You want an email with a calendar invite when the time is locked, or you want each guest to see specific options in their own time zone without extra steps. The homepage also says the flow is three steps and under a minute.
You want the code to be open source, or you may want Rallly Pro later for branding and for keeping polls past the free plan’s inactivity deletion. On 24 October 2026 the homepage counter read 511,372 people voting on 93,767 polls in the last 30 days. That counter moves.
When to pick Autoki
You want a grid of dates and times with yes, maybe, and no, a heatmap, and a per-person table — and you will paste the link yourself. Confirming a time does not email anyone. You can open that time in Google Calendar or download an .ics file.
You do not want a free-plan poll deleted for inactivity. Rallly’s FAQ says free-plan polls are deleted once inactive. This app’s code has no job that deletes events after a period of inactivity.
