A Free Meeting Poll That Picks the Best Time for You
Most meeting poll tools stop at collecting answers. Everyone marks when they're free, you get a grid — and then you squint at it, count the cells, and keep refreshing to see who's replied. CrepeMeet is a free meeting poll that finishes the job: it stacks everyone's availability, works out the best time automatically, and emails you the moment people respond. Share one link, put it down, and come back to an answer.
No sign-up for anyone you invite. No app to install. No babysitting the page.
- ✓ Free to create
- ✓ No login for guests
- ✓ Best time picked automatically
- ✓ Emails you when people reply
People who run their own calendar lose real time every week to back-and-forth scheduling messages. Enough.
How it works
Three steps, and only the first one is yours to do:
- Create a poll. Pick the candidate days and a time range — specific dates, or a recurring 'days of the week' poll for weekly meetups. No account needed.
- Share one link. Drop it in the group chat, email, wherever your people are. They tap it and drag to paint when they're free — no sign-up, no app, works properly on a phone.
- We pick the best time — and email you. As replies come in, availability stacks into a heatmap, the slot that's long enough and works for the most people rises to the top, and you get an email the moment people respond. You open it to an answer, not homework.

One link, no sign-up for anyone you invite — it takes about 30 seconds.

If you've used When2Meet, LettuceMeet, or a Doodle-style availability poll, you know the model: everyone fills in a grid, and the darkest cells are your answer. It works — we kept that part. The grid, the heatmap, the free-and-no-login simplicity: that's the price of entry for this category, and CrepeMeet honours all of it.
The difference is what happens after people fill it in. With the classic grids, two jobs quietly stay on your plate:
- You do the deciding. The grid shows you where the green is darkest — but you still scan it by eye, weigh up which block is actually long enough for your meeting, and make the call. On a big poll that's real work, and easy to get wrong.
- You do the checking. Nothing tells you when people reply. You reopen the page, count who's filled in, nudge the stragglers, repeat.
CrepeMeet takes both jobs off you. The automatic best-time ranking is the part nobody else in the category does: it finds the slot that's long enough and works for the most people, and floats it to the top — no cell-counting. And the set-and-forget layer means you're never the one watching the page: we email you as replies land, with the best time already picked. (A couple of newer tools will email you too — the difference is CrepeMeet hands you the answer, not just a notification.)
One honest caveat: CrepeMeet is built for groups in the same time zone for now. If your group is scattered across continents, some classic grids handle per-person zone conversion — that's genuinely one thing they still do that we don't yet. For a team, class, or club in one place, this is the smoother ride.

Why is it called 'CrepeMeet'?
A Mille Crêpe is dozens of paper-thin layers pressed into one perfect cake. That's exactly how your poll works: each person's free time is one thin layer, and every reply stacks another layer on. The more people add theirs, the richer the stack — until the best time rises out of the thickest layer on its own. You don't dig for the answer; the layers settle into it. Schedule, stacked.
Good for any group that needs one time
A meeting poll isn't just for work meetings. People use CrepeMeet for cross-company meetings where nobody shares a calendar, study groups dodging lecture clashes, group projects, and sports clubs locking in a weekly slot. If the job is getting several humans to land on one time, a poll is the right tool — and this one does the reading for you.

What is a meeting poll?
A meeting poll (also called an availability poll) is a shared page where everyone in a group marks when they're free, so you can find one time that works for all of them. It's the opposite of a booking page like Calendly: instead of one person picking a slot on your calendar, a whole group finds its overlap.
Is CrepeMeet really free?
Yes — creating a meeting poll, sharing it, and picking a time are all free, with no credit card. The people you invite never pay or sign up either.
Do people need an account to answer the poll?
No. Anyone with the link can mark their availability — no login, no app. That matters: every extra step costs you replies. (You as the organiser can sign in with Google or email — free — to keep track of your polls; that same free sign-in is what switches on the email alerts. The people you invite never sign in.)
How does CrepeMeet pick the best time?
It looks for the slot that's long enough for your meeting and works for the most people, then ranks it to the top. You'll see the full heatmap too — but you don't have to read it cell by cell.
How is this different from When2Meet or Doodle?
Same category — a poll to find when a group is free — but the classic tools leave the last mile to you: reading the grid and checking back for replies. CrepeMeet ranks the best time automatically and emails you as people respond. Full comparisons live on our vs When2Meet and vs Doodle pages, and if you're weighing up the whole category, the blog has honest roundups of the best When2Meet and Doodle alternatives.
Can I run a recurring weekly poll?
Yes — a 'days of the week' mode finds the best recurring slot, which is exactly what teams, clubs, and study groups need for a standing meeting.
