Rallly review
A focused, open-source option for group scheduling polls and participant voting.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Rallly is a web-based meeting scheduling tool built around polls. Organizers propose dates or times, share a link, and collect participant availability votes to identify a workable option. Participants can respond without creating an account, and automatic time-zone conversion helps coordinate people in different locations. It is suited to teams, communities, and individuals arranging group events where comparing availability matters more than offering a personal booking page.
The published plans are straightforward. Hobby costs $0 per user per month and provides the core poll experience. Pro costs $6 per seat per month when billed annually, adding custom branding, removal of Rallly attribution, email invitations, poll finalization, team collaboration through shared spaces, and API access. The hosted product is available through the web, while the API supports creating polls and reading results. Email, Slack, and WhatsApp are listed alongside the API as integrations. That combination gives Rallly a practical fit for link-based coordination, especially when an organization wants to connect poll creation or results to its own workflows.
Rallly’s main strength is its narrow focus: proposed options, voting, time-zone handling, and finalization are clear parts of the product’s workflow. Open-source availability and self-hosting with Docker Compose add deployment flexibility for teams that want control over the hosting environment. The trade-off is that Rallly is not centered on automated booking pages, payments, round-robin assignment, or team routing. Choose it when the goal is to find a time through group voting, with hosted or self-hosted deployment options. Choose another meeting scheduling product when the primary need is individual booking, payment collection, or automated assignment across a team.
