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 call

The clearest difference is rating: Skedy at 5.0 against Tab's 4.2. Tab's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 5) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
