Doodle

Doodle pioneered the concept of scheduling polls, and since 2007 has been the go-to solution for coordinating group meetings. When you need to find a time that works for multiple people—especially external participants who can't see each other's calendars—Doodle's polling approach remains unmatched. The platform's signature feature lets organizers propose multiple time slots, which participants then vote on to indicate their availability. This democratic approach to scheduling eliminates the endless email chains that typically accompany group meeting coordination. Doodle has evolved beyond pure polling to offer 1:1 booking pages similar to Calendly, making it a more comprehensive scheduling solution. However, its core strength remains group scheduling, where the polling mechanism truly shines. Based in Zurich, Switzerland, Doodle serves a global user base and has achieved significant enterprise adoption. The platform offers robust admin features, security certifications, and integrations that satisfy corporate IT requirements. The free tier remains functional but displays advertisements, which can be off-putting in professional contexts. Paid plans remove ads and add features like calendar integration, custom branding, and automated reminders.
