Frequently Asked Questions

Is PencilPlan free?

Yes, PencilPlan is and will always be 100% free.

Who is PencilPlan for?

PencilPlan is for people who would like to see their friends and family more frequently, but have a hard time coordinating everyone's busy schedule. See your friends every day after school? We're probably not gonna solve a real pain point for you. Have trouble meeting up with old friends as you get older and people's lives get more complicated with jobs, relationships, and kids? You're gonna love this product :)

Why would I use this instead of Doodle (or some similar app)?

PencilPlan is mobile friendly in a way none of these similar apps are. Setting up polls, responding to polls, and sending your availability is truly seamless.

Don't believe us? Test setting up a poll in another group scheduling app, and then try it in PencilPlan. It'll take less than half the time. We believe this point of friction is one of the reasons people don't reliability use other services to coordinate with friends.

Why would I use this instead of a calendar?

PencilPlan is meant to be used alongside your traditional calendar. Unlike a calendar, PencilPlan is a mobile-friendly way of collecting the availability of multiple people for a specific activity. Unless all your friends are already collectively sharing their personal calendars (if so, kudos!), PencilPlan is probability an easier option than toggling back and forth between the group chat and your calendar app :)
