Appointy vs. Doodle

Appointy is very well suited if you need a quick and dirty option to schedule meetings with people outside your company empowering them to choose a time and date. It is less suited for scenarios where you want to be in control or if you want to share info and attachments prior to the meeting.

Doodle is great when you need to coordinate dates among a group and don't want to send a bunch of group emails or texts. It allows a number of dates to be proposed and the group can easily see those dates that are most preferred. If you need to do something more complex than that it may not be your tool.

• Eliminate email.call back and forth with web based scheduling.
• Automate daily tasks to boost staff productivity and manage my entire schedule in one place.
• Understand my demands and needs and provide personalised solutions.
• Helps and provide a sub domain that we can use to to create our own page.
• Flexible time slot intervals.

• Doodle allows you to view multiple meeting times simultaneously. I may never have 100% of my team available, but I can see that I have three other options with 90% availability.
• Doodle is a free resource that doesn't require users to create an account or exist in a network. I simply send the link and see the responses.
• Doodle notifies you as people respond, making the scheduling process quick and easy. Also, you can confirm a time through the software!

• The interface is a little clunky / glitchy sometimes.
• The design could be improved
• It isn't the most streamlined process setting up the opening hours

• I wish that it offered more options in backgrounds, characters and props without having an additional cost, but that is to be expected.
• I would like an easier way to add my own fonts, characters , props etc, because I am a new learner this may not be an issue as I get more familiar with the software.
• I don't like all the sales emails I received trying to upgrade or add to my purchase.

Easy to use and basically free.

Doodle has customer service support available as needed, but honestly, it is so easy to use that I have rarely had to seek support. They are always a click away and responsive to resolving any need or to clarify the next best step to using Doodle to meet my needs.

The level of customization available with Appointy is much better than any other similar application The integration with other applications is seamless & smooth as compared to others Dashboard provided is much more intuitive as compared to its competitors Data security & privacy is addressed in a much better fashion than it's competitors

For the same reasons noted previously, Doodle allows for the organizer to ultimately select/accept the time that works for them. Many competitors only allow you to show available times and the appointment goes directly into the organizer's calendar. I typically prefer to have a bit more control over that. Also, visually Doodle is more intuitive in how you schedule appointments than Calendly. I think Calendly tries to get a bit too cute with their interface instead of sticking to a more standard, familiar calendar interface when setting an appointment.
