VERDICT

Should I use When2meet?

When2meet helps you find the best time for a group to get together. It is a free survey tool that is quick and easy to use. - when2meet.com

Worth it. Buy if you need a fast, free group availability poll and can tolerate a dated, ad-supported UI. Skip it for recurring bookings, calendar sync, or anything requiring security review.

Confidence

High. Based on ~20 public sources: Reddit threads, comparison blogs, security checks, and the vendor site.
