Doodle Overview
Doodle is a group scheduling tool best known for its polling feature that helps teams and groups find mutual meeting times without endless email chains. Users create a poll with proposed times, share the link, and participants vote on their availability. The free plan includes ads and limited polls, while Pro starts at $11/seat/month billed annually. Doodle connects Google, Microsoft 365 and iCloud calendars, offers client-facing booking pages and supports Stripe payment collection; its pricing page lists Stripe under Team while help documentation also lists it on Free, so confirm eligibility for your account. Evaluate its booking and client-management workflow against your needs rather than treating it as a poll-only product.
