— Comparison Caledee · Doodle

The Doodle alternative where voting stays free.

Doodle moved the “if need be” vote, deadlines and reminders behind its paid plans — and free polls show ads to your participants. Caledee ships the whole poll, ad-free, on every plan.

Doodle invented the scheduling poll, and it's still the name everyone knows. Caledee is for organizers who want the complete poll — “if need be” votes, a deadline, per-slot capacity, invitee-proposed times — without ads on the voting page, and a real scheduler behind it for when the date is settled.

— Where Caledee pulls ahead

The full poll, on every plan

“If need be” votes, a voting deadline, per-slot capacity, a live results grid and a best-time suggestion — all included on Free. The basics Doodle gates behind its paid plan are Caledee's baseline.

No ads, ever

On Doodle's free plan, organizers and participants see ads around the poll. On Caledee the voting page is clean on every plan — it carries your meeting, not someone else's banner.

From vote to booked meeting

Close the poll and the winning time becomes a real booking: voters attached as invitees, confirmations sent, your reminder workflows running. And behind the poll there's a full scheduler — booking links, payments, routing forms.

Hosted in Europe, GDPR-native

Votes, names and emails live on a European VPS in Paris. Full data export any time, automatic purge of unconverted leads — and Caledee never sells data or runs ad targeting.

Switching is a five-minute job

Connect your calendar, recreate your event types, share your new link. Your old links keep working until you're ready, and your data stays yours, start to finish.
