"Karen blew my mind! I was hoping to find something like this, but was only looking in a traditional scheduling application. The support team is friendly, and the software is a breeze to use."

We’ve All Suffered at getting Scheduling Right. Have You?

Each time you get stuck working with a complicated scheduling software, there’s always that fear of how you could make it easier.

  • Will there be a bot that could do all the scheduling heavy-lifting on its own?
  • Can I schedule recurring, and group events easily?
  • Does it integrate with Slack, Zapier, Zoom, and Wordpress to name a few?
  • Can I get analytics of my meetings on a weekly / monthly basis to measure my teams’ and my productivity?
  • Will the support respond and go beyond the call of duty to resolve issues?

If your scheduling solution got you answering NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, maybe it’s time to switch to Karen.

What Doodle customers say
How Doodle Poll Alternative Karen Works
I also do not like the layout of the Doodle once I open the page.
We have an intuitive interface and a bot in case if you don't like the traditional button clicks and navigation.
It can be rather hard to keep track of who has participated, especially when organizing huge events.
We store all the historical data, and you can drill down as and when you like.
I have had some trouble syncing up all of my calendars in the past and I usually can't see any of my events on there.
Calendar integration is the backbone of everything we do.
If you have LOTS of scheduling options to consider, it can be difficult to add all of the entries when first creating the poll.
We help you define options in advance.
A con of the free version is the weird ads you see running in the back ground as you are using the tool.
We promise, we won't show ads, even to free users.
I often find myself clicking around aimlessly just to open up a new Doodle invite.
Our user interface is streamlined to help you with what you want.
A tad bit dumbed down and the UI is not the most attractive.
We are designed in 2019 for future.

I'd like to see an integration with Google Calendar, in the future, as it would accelerate the translation from a shared plan to a scheduled event.
Verified review on capterra1
I have a super hard time with the time zone setting. It never matches what I want it to be and everyone else sees different time zone than me.
Verified review on capterra1
" It can be rather hard to keep track of who has participated, especially when organizing huge events. Additionally, it would be great to be able to set priorities, such as finding a time when certain crucial team members must all be present"
Verified review on capterra1
"You can only have a certain amount of options for people, so if you want to get very detailed within one day with multiple options, that isn't possible".
Verified review on capterra1
" I was never able to get the system fully deployed and was not able to use it even once with a client. It was not helpful."
Verified review on capterra1
If I need to do a multi-day meeting, I can only select the first day of the meeting. It doesn't allow me to include ranges of time frames.
