Skedy is a quick and easy way to find times where everyone in your group is available. How it works 1. Create a scheduling poll: Creating a poll is as simple as giving it a name and selecting a date. Share it with your group by sending them a link. No account required. 2. Add your availability: Simply “paint” blocks of time where you are available, and update your availability if it changes. Each person in your group does the same. 3. View group availability: Skedy stacks your group's schedules on top of each other creating a single overlay, which highlights times where multiple people are available. Features - Quick and intuitive: Create a scheduling poll in seconds, invite your group, and get instant responses. Say goodbye to the painful back and forth normally required to schedule over text. - Schedule across timezones: Eliminate “your time or my time?” confusion. Fill out your availability as it is in your local time, and let Skedy handle any conversions for you. - Anytime, Anywhere: Access Skedy from the same device as your group chats, from wherever you are. Works seamlessly across mobile and desktop.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Skedy at none against Read4Me's 5. Skedy also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Read4Me's advantage is ratings volume (5.4K vs 5). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
