When will you be free?

This phrase is correct and commonly used to inquire about someone's availability.

This phrase is used to ask about the general availability of a person to schedule a meeting, appointment, or activity.

Some examples from our editors:

  • When will you be free to meet for coffee?
  • When will you be free to discuss the project?
  • When will you be free to go shopping?

  • When are you available?

  • When is a good time for you?
  • When would you like to meet?
  • When works for you?

What's Your Best Time?

This phrase is correct and is used to ask for someone's preferred or most convenient time for a specific activity.

This phrase is used to inquire about the most suitable or preferred time for a particular event, meeting, or appointment.

Examples:

  • What's your best time for a phone call?
  • What's your best time for a meeting?
  • What's your best time for a workout?

Alternatives:

  • When works best for you?
  • What time suits you best?
  • When is most convenient for you?
  • When is your preferred time?
  • What time is ideal for you?
Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'When will you be free?' is commonly used to inquire about someone's availability in general, while 'What's your best time?' is more specific and asks for the person's preferred or most convenient time for a particular activity.
