Meet the perfect

Doodle alternative

Doodle’s free version is ridden with ads. SavvyCal is the Doodle alternative that makes scheduling collaborative instead of a nuisance, complete with both meeting polls and scheduling links.

Doodle is in the business of advertising to your recipients.

Doodle was a pioneer in group scheduling. That said, you’re here for a reason. And the fact of the matter is that Doodle's business is dependent on showing ads to your recipients.

If you’re okay with sending out meeting polls with random advertisements all around the calendar to vote on time slots, SavvyCal probably won’t be a good fit for you.

But if you care about providing an enjoyable experience for anyone booking a meeting, you’re in the right place.

SavvyCal is in the business of providing the best end-user experience in both meeting polls and scheduling links.

“SavvyCal makes me feel better about finding time to meet with clients, partners, and colleagues. It goes beyond similar tools by removing the awkwardness of imposing your schedule upon others.”
