None of the suggested alternatives so far are the same as Sunrise's meet feature-- including vyte, Microsoft Invite, Google's Appointment Slots, or calendly.
Meet allows you (the requester) to set the times available for meeting and send a signup page to a single respondent.
It's not about group meetings, or about "office hours" that anyone can sign up for. The use case is surprisingly broad: a small window of availability for a single meeting.
Microsoft makes Invite

Google Calendar supports this natively with Appointment Slots. Choose a time block on the calendar and click "Appointment Slots" in the pop-up.

I've used calendly.com with some success.

Nice, thanks! And I can pay for it, that's a comforting change.
You'd choose some available times, it gives you a link which you send to whoever you want to meet with, and the recipient books a time slot with a couple of clicks. It updates in real time so if you book something new, the slot disappears. It even has a little iOS keyboard to generate these links.
Does anyone know a similar replacement service? Nothing beats just pasting someone a link and letting them pick one of three times you chose.
