In 2025, scheduling meetings with team members or potential customers should no longer be a struggle. The reason is simple: there are some decent scheduling tool options in the market, and you may have heard or even used a popular one, such as Doodle.

Configuring a single host meeting type

However, if you are reading this article, it means something must have gone wrong with Doodle, and you are seeking an alternative.

It happens. Perhaps you’re tired of the ads giving your booking page an unprofessional look in the free version. Or your team is unable to find integrations with the main sales and marketing applications they use every single day.

These were some issues that customers who migrated from Doodle to our product, meetergo, mentioned when we interviewed them. A couple of them also mentioned that they liked to personalize their branding on booking pages, but with Doodle, they were limited.

If you’re facing one or more of these problems, then I understand your need for an alternative.

In this article, I’ll break down the 8 best Doodle alternatives, with features and pricing plans, so you can decide which of them suits you best.

Let's get into it!

8 Best Free Doodle Alternatives

meetergo

We will start this list of the best Doodle alternatives with meetergo, an online scheduling tool for booking appointments. To create a booking page in meetergo, provide a name for the page, add a description, choose a meeting duration, and a location.

Creating a new meeting using meetergo

Interestingly, its Booking feature gives me an overview of all my meetings, including upcoming, finished, cancelled, and unconfirmed meetings. I also have the option to edit, filter, or delete any booking.

Thanks to its Routing forms and funnels, I can create a funnel after naming it and selecting its type. Next, meetergo allows me to view and customize its pre-built form designed to collect data such as names, emails, and phone numbers. I can also add more fields with text or multi-line input.

Sales enablement tool pricing page

Last but not least, meetergo’s Contact feature allows you to view people who have booked a meeting with you, along with their name, email, company, account owner, and tags. You can also see if there is an upcoming meeting with any contact.

Now that you’ve learned a couple of things about meetergo, I will walk you through the creation process of a booking page. It’s simple.

After signing in, click “New” on the main dashboard.

Adding a new meeting type

meetergo offers two main meeting types. These include “Single Host” and “Team”. I will choose “Single Host” for this tutorial.

Choosing a single host meeting type

Choose the type of meeting you want to create, between the one-on-one and group meeting options. I’ll carry on with the first one.

Creating a one-one meeting type

Next, select who will host this meeting.

On the next page, name your meeting, add a description, and select a duration. The default venue will be meetergo’s video conferencing app called meetergo connect.

Meeting with video conferencing

Nonetheless, you can select other options like Google Meet or Microsoft Teams depending on your preference.

That’s it! Your booking page is ready. When team members or customers book an appointment with you, this is what the booking page will look like:

meetergo makes it so simple to create booking pages. But it has other great features worth mentioning. Let’s take a look at a few of them.

Key Features

1 . Polls

Doodle is not the only tool that offers ‘’Polls” as a feature. meetergo also boasts of it because it works very well.

Basically, the Poll feature helps you find the right time that works for everyone in your group. You propose different dates and times, and let everyone cast their vote.

Let’s take a look at this feature in meetergo.

To locate the Polls feature, click on the “Tools” tab and select “Polls” from the dropdown.

Meeting types in meetergo including a Poll option

To create your poll, provide a title, a location, and a description.

Poll participants confirming their availability

On the calendar, choose the dates you want to propose, and they will appear on the right side. You can also start and end times for each option by toggling on the “Specify times” option.

 Selecting multiple dates in a calendar for an event

Interestingly, meetergo lets you adjust your poll settings. With the pro version, you can set a deadline, hide the participant list, and even remove meetergo’s branding.

How To Choose the Best Doodle Alternative

Before deciding which Doodle alternative to choose, you need to consider the following factors.

  • Identify Your Business Needs
  • Consider Essential Features
  • Compare Pricing and ROI
  • Check Workflow and Integrations

I will go a step further and explain each one of them in detail.

Identify Your Business Needs

Knowing exactly what your business needs should be the very first step towards choosing the right tool.

You should know, for instance, when you have to book meetings with customers or just team members, and how often you want to schedule meetings. Perhaps you may need group polls or one-on-one meetings.

This will help you determine the type of scheduling tool your business truly needs.

For example, professionals such as freelancers, coaches, and consultants mostly use online scheduling tools like meetergo for one-on-one meetings.

Screenshot showing how to create a one-on-one meeting

But that’s not always the case for team leaders, educators, and event organizers. They would rather schedule group meetings so that multiple participants can book the same time slot.

How to create a group meeting

But let’s say your business largely revolves around you and your team members, and you always try to schedule meetings with them. The scheduling tool you choose should also offer the Polls feature.

Meeting types and tools

This way, you can propose multiple dates and times, allowing team members to vote and choose what works best.

A calendar available times

So, don’t jump to conclusions if you haven’t identified your needs yet.

Consider Essential Features

Considering essential features is also another factor to look at when choosing a scheduling tool. And I am not just talking about polls.

You need to search for features that actually help you and your team’s workflow.

For example, automatic reminders that will always remind attendees of their upcoming meetings with you. This can help avoid “no-shows”.

Various meeting reminder templates

Calendar synchronization is also vital for an online scheduling tool. meetergo lets you connect your preferred calendar, whether it’s Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, or Apple Calendar.

 Various form question types

Another feature worth mentioning is custom availability. You must be able to adjust your working hours and even add exceptions.

Screenshot of Loom showing available time slots

Your company’s branding is also an essential feature to consider. A good scheduling tool should let you add your logo, company name, and even match your branding colors.

Screenshot showing branding options including logo upload

Compare Pricing and ROI

Warren Buffett once said, “Price is what you pay. Value is what you get”. This statement alone summarizes the concept behind pricing and return on investment (ROI).

Although pricing is a crucial aspect to consider, it should not be the only factor. You must also determine if the tool you choose can help you boost your ROI.

Doodle’s pro plan goes for $6.95 per user/ per month, paid annually. This is the tier that allows you to have unlimited booking pages and one-on-one meetings.

Acuity scheduling, on the other hand, provides access to unlimited appointments and automatic reminders from the first tier. It costs $16 per month.

Interestingly, meetergo offers better options at a cheaper price. For example, the basic plan is free and gives you unlimited meetings.

What’s more, the Essentials tier, which costs 7€/ month, lets you connect multiple calendars, send automatic reminders, and gives you unlimited booking pages. And it even offers marketing-related features like lead, preparation & follow-up.

All the examples I mentioned above reveal an important truth: pricing plans differ from one tool to another. You must consider it and then choose based on your needs.

Check Workflow and Integrations

This may be the last point we will discuss, but certainly not the least important.

Checking workflow and integrations is a very critical step when selecting an online scheduling tool, as you want a tool that helps you save time by automating various tasks.

A survey from Slack in 2023 revealed that 77% of employees believed automating routine tasks would greatly improve their productivity. That’s what you want for your team.

Not all scheduling tools offer a workflow feature that is crucial to all teams and businesses. One of the primary goals in a team is to be efficient and productive without wasting time. Without a doubt, workflows help teams reach this goal.

meetergo not only offers a workflow feature but also comes with great pre-built templates, including automatic reminders, follow-up messages, feedback, and document requests, among others.

In terms of integrations, you need to check if the tool you want integrates with apps and platforms your team already uses regularly.

You will notice, for example, that if you use meetergo, you can integrate with popular sales-focused features such as HubSpot, Salesforce, Zapier, and Pipedrive.
