LettuceMeet Alternative
Tabletop Time vs LettuceMeet
No Google account. No friction. Just game night.
LettuceMeet is popular with gaming groups for good reason — it's clean, it's free, and the grid makes overlapping availability obvious at a glance. But there's a catch baked into step one: creating a poll requires a Google account. For a D&D group that just wants to nail down next Saturday, that's friction the DM shouldn't have to justify.
Try It FreeLettuceMeet's drag-to-select availability grid is genuinely pleasant to use. You draw across the hours and days you're free, the group's overlap fills in with color intensity, and the best window becomes obvious without anyone doing math. It's faster to fill out than a date-by-date poll when you're trying to find a specific time window within a week.
If your group already has Google accounts and you need hourly granularity — say, a one-shot where start time matters as much as the day — LettuceMeet is a solid choice. The interface is well-designed and familiar.
Where It Falls Short for Gaming Groups
Organizers must have a Google account
Creating a LettuceMeet poll requires signing in with Google. Your DM just wants to share a link — not add another OAuth permission to their account. This is the single biggest friction point for groups that include privacy-conscious players.
No minimum player logic
LettuceMeet shows who's free when. It has no concept of 'we need at least 4 players or there's no session.' You see the overlap grid and then manually decide whether the count is enough. Tabletop Time highlights viable dates automatically.
No waitlists or player limits
For Commander pods, campaigns with a hard table limit, or draft nights with seat caps, LettuceMeet can't manage overflow. There's no waitlist, no capacity setting, and no automatic promotion when a spot opens.
No Discord or Telegram integration
LettuceMeet lives on the web. Your group lives in Discord. Players forget to fill out the grid because the link gets buried. Tabletop Time's bots bring the poll into the server — players respond without leaving Discord.
Binary availability only
LettuceMeet's grid is available or not. There's no 'If Needed' state for the player who can make it but would rather skip. That nuance matters when you're trying to pick a night that genuinely works for the most people.
No campaign or multi-session support
Running a campaign means finding multiple sessions that work across weeks. LettuceMeet is built for finding one time slot, not scheduling a recurring series or tracking which sessions each player can attend across an arc.

The Feature LettuceMeet Will Never Build
Quorum logic answers the question every DM is actually asking: “Do we have enough players to play?” Not just “who's free,” but “which of these dates crosses the threshold that makes the session worth running?”
Set a minimum player count — say, 4 for your Commander pod or 3 for a campaign session. Tabletop Time highlights in green every date that hits that threshold. Dates below it are shown in amber. You see viable windows at a glance without counting cells in a grid.
LettuceMeet is built for finding the best overlap, not for determining session viability. Tabletop Time is the only free scheduling tool that treats minimum headcount as a first-class concept.
When to Still Use LettuceMeet
LettuceMeet's strength is hourly granularity. If your group needs to find a two-hour window on a specific day — a one-shot where 7pm vs 8pm matters — the drag-to-select hour grid is well-suited. Tabletop Time uses date-level candidate slots, not an hour-by-hour grid.
If everyone in your group already has a Google account and no one minds sharing it, LettuceMeet is a fine tool for one-off scheduling. For ongoing campaigns, recurring pods, or any group with privacy-conscious members, Tabletop Time is the better fit.
No Account to Create. No Migration Needed.
There's nothing to migrate from LettuceMeet because Tabletop Time doesn't use accounts. Go to tabletoptime.us/new, name your event, add candidate dates, set a quorum if you want one, and share the link. No Google login. No sign-up for your players. Works in any browser on any device.
Your manager access is stored as a token in your browser — bookmark the page or save the link and you can edit the event at any time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does LettuceMeet require a Google login?
LettuceMeet uses Google OAuth to identify event creators so they can manage their polls later. Tabletop Time solves this differently — your manager access is a token stored locally in your browser, so no account is ever needed.
Can my players vote without signing in?
Yes. Players only need the voting link. They click, mark availability, and submit. No account, no Google login, no email address.
Does Tabletop Time work for non-tabletop events?
Yes. Quorum logic and waitlists work for any group activity with a minimum headcount — sports teams, movie clubs, draft nights, study groups. The name is tabletop-focused but the tool is general.
Is Tabletop Time open source?
Yes. The full source is on GitHub. You can inspect the code, self-host it, or contribute. There are no hidden fees, no premium tiers, and no investor pressure to monetize your data.
