    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.

    For all things bookings, including meetings, sales calls, events, and client onboarding, ScheduleOnce is the dominant software hands down. For shorter forms, such as quizzes and exercises on an online course, FormOnce is the far superior sibling as it's able to accommodate all needs, size, length, and customization.

    Pros
    Doodle AG
    • 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!

    • Links calendars- no need to go back and forth between calendars, everything is synced up.
    • Schedules Zoom calls with link and sends alerts to remind prospect of meeting
    • Follows up to reschedule if prospect missed meeting, which saves me a ton of time.

    Cons
    Doodle AG
    • 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.

    • I really wish I could put tracking pixels (i.e. AdWords conversion pixels) on the booking thank you pages. Having to direct to a thank you page on another platform is kind of a pain.
    • The Salesforce connector pricing is a bit steep.
    • Basic live chat capabilities would be awesome. Implementing a live chat widget alongside the ScheduleOnce widget can be a bit cluttered design wise.

    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.

    They would not prorate a refund - I'm just out the money for services I have not used. To me, that is the WORST POSSIBLE customer service ever.

    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.

    ScheduleOnce is the only platform that offered an easy way to send text messages to clients. I appreciated the ease of adding a few questions to qualify potential clients prior to getting onto a call with them. Easy to use and the customer service experience I have received has been great.

    Return on Investment
    Doodle AG
    • 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.
