Calendly vs. Doodle
When it comes to scheduling larger group events, finding a time that works well for everyone can be tricky and time-consuming. Luckily, polling tools have arrived to save us all. 😅
In this video, we'll go over 5 key differences between Calendly's Meeting Polls feature and Doodle.
1. Once you connect your web conferencing tool with Calendly (for free), your video conferencing details will be automatically included in every calendar event.
Remember that time you awkwardly waited in a Zoom room alone, only to realize that your attendees never got the link? That's not gonna happen if you use Calendly.
2. Calendly helps prevent double bookings by blocking all of the time options included in your poll on your calendar, until the group event is booked.
3. When you send out polls with Calendly, there are no ads. Ever. It's practically a zen garden of scheduling. 🧘
4. With Calendly, you can manage the voting and scheduling in one place. With Doodle, voting and scheduling are separated into two streams of work.
5. You can use Calendly's browser extensions to create polls from wherever you are on the web. For free! Doodle has an Outlook Add-in, but it's only available on their paid plans.
The truth is, both Calendly and Doodle work for business and personal uses, but we're obviously a little biased. Our goal is to take all the work (and ads) out of connecting with others, so you can accomplish more.
Both of these scheduling platforms offer free trials, so go explore on your own, and see what suits you best! Bonus: Both trials default to free plans after 14 days and neither requires a credit card, so it's a risk-free move.
