BookSteam is suited pretty much for any business that takes appointments. It's perfect for businesses who don't want the hassle of phone scheduling, rescheduling, calling people back and talking to the answering machine. Everything is automated and done online. I believe they even offer class scheduling, so that is also perfect for businesses who need group scheduling.
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.Incentivized
Online scheduling, canceling, re-booking customers.Taking payments online via PayPal at the time the client books.Sending out sms reminders and sms confirmations so clients will not miss their event.
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!Incentivized
Might be a more complex tool - needs its learning curveThe possibility to use it as a way to provide classes or webinars in series may be a bit complicatedIncentivized
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.Incentivized
Easy to use and basically free.Incentivized
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.Incentivized
I tried to use few other scheduling systems before but I always thought they were somewhat incomplete, something was always missing, from design point of view to missing features. For me it's always about ease of use and how everything is organized. I can say that BookSteam got it all figured out and I recommend it
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.Incentivized
Customers are happy as they can book themselves online any time.Our staff is happy as they have their own access.
Improved efficiency by avoiding the slow and inefficient process of emailing back and forth to set meeting dates and times.Allows for more informed decisions regarding meetings or making decisions, as all options can be laid out visually in a way that isn't possible in an email.Incentivized
