A When2meet alternative for whole days, not hours
If you have ever set a When2meet to run from midnight to midnight because what you were actually picking was the dates of a trip, this is the tool for that.
When2meet is good at the job it was built for
When2meet finds an hour. You give it some candidate dates and a time-of-day window, everyone drags over the slots they are free, and it shades a grid so the overlap is visible. For "which evening this week can the six of us get on a call", that is close to perfect, and it is free and needs nobody to sign up.
What breaks when the thing you are picking is a trip
Create a When2meet today and it asks two questions: What dates might work? and What times might work? — the second with a "no earlier than" and a "no later than" hour. The time window is not optional, so a trip has to be smuggled in: you set it midnight to midnight and every day of the trip becomes a full column of time slots nobody cares about.
Then the harder part. Even with a filled-in grid, the question you actually have is "which stretch of days can the most of us make", and a grid does not answer that. You read down the columns, find the run of days that looks darkest, count the people, and try to remember whether a longer run with one fewer person would have been better. With eleven people and a month of candidate days, nobody does that reliably.
When 2 meet, but for days
That is the search people actually type, and it is a fair description of WeGoWhen. The unit is a day, not an hour. The organiser sets an outer window — any time in September, say — and shares one link. Everyone else taps the days they are free, on a phone, in under a minute, without an account or an email address.
What comes back is not a grid. WeGoWhen works out every run of consecutive days that some group of people can all make, discards any run that a longer one already covers, and ranks what is left by how many people it includes, then by how long it is, then by date. The top row reads like an answer: 6 of 6 free, Fri 12 – Mon 15. You can also filter the participants, to ask what happens if two people drop out.

When to stay with When2meet
If what you need is an hour — a meeting, a call, a rehearsal, anything that starts and ends on the same day — When2meet does that directly and WeGoWhen cannot do it at all. There is no time-of-day dimension here by design. Use the tool shaped like the question.
Questions people ask next
Can I use When2meet for multiple days?
You can, by setting the time window to midnight-to-midnight, and people do — "when2meet but for days" is a phrase Google reports as a real search. What you get is a grid of time slots across every day of the trip, which you then read yourself. WeGoWhen skips the grid and returns the ranked date ranges.
What are the limitations of When2meet?
For picking an hour, the one that matters here is that the time-of-day window is mandatory — there is no way to ask it about whole days — and that what it returns is a shaded grid rather than an answer, so working out which stretch of days the most people can make is left to whoever is reading it. Both are checkable on when2meet.com and both are deliberate: it was built to find an hour, and it does. Neither is a problem until the thing you are picking runs across several days.
Can I use When2meet for next month, or a window spanning months?
You can list any dates you like, so next month is no harder than next week — but the time-of-day grid comes with them, and it grows a column per day. In WeGoWhen the outer window is whatever you set, so next spring works like next weekend, for any window up to a year (366 days).
Does everyone need an app or an account?
Neither. It is a web page, and nobody signs up — not the people answering, and not the person who creates the trip.
What about a group of thirty?
Fine; the limit is 200 people per trip, and the ranking stays fast at that size because it walks date ranges carrying a bitmask of who is free rather than enumerating subsets of participants.
More of these on the FAQ, and there is a comparison with Doodle if that is the tool your group already uses.
