Free Doodle alternatives for group scheduling (2026)

As of October 2026, Doodle's pricing page lists one group poll, one booking page and one 1:1 on the free plan, with ad-free use listed as a paid feature. Its help centre says organisers need an account to finish creating a poll. Paid plans start at $11 per seat per month billed yearly.

Built for getting a group to agree on a time. Guests can paint their free time or vote on options, slots are ranked by overlap, and confirming sends a calendar invite (with an optional Google Meet link) to everyone.

• Free: 5 confirmed bookings a month, no ads.
• Paid: $5.99 a month per host for 100 bookings.
• Not open source.

An open-source meeting poll (AGPLv3) that you can also self-host. No login needed to vote, automatic time zones and a calendar invite when you finalise.

• Free: unlimited polls and participants; inactive polls are deleted after 30 days.
• Paid: Pro at $6 per seat per month billed yearly.
• Built around voting on proposed times.

The classic free availability grid. Quick for informal groups.
