Florian Horbach is a co-founder of Zeeg since 2023. Driven by the belief that good software should work so seamlessly that you barely notice it, Florian develops solutions for companies of all sizes, focusing on scheduling challenges and customer relationships management. Before Zeeg, he built expertise across technology and business operations, bringing a hands-on approach to product development that improves website conversion and customer funnels. Nowadays, when not working, he can be found buried in history books (particularly anything involving presidential assassinations, oddly enough), testing new productivity hacks, or lacing up for his regular runs. He splits his time between building Zeeg and raising a young family, finding that both require similar skills in efficiency and patience.

Doodle is a popular scheduling tool for group polls and meeting coordination, but it lacks a built-in CRM, routing logic, and GDPR-compliant EU hosting. In this article, we compare the best Doodle alternatives available in 2025.

Why look for a Doodle alternative?

Doodle is useful for simple group scheduling, but it falls short when you need:

  • A built-in CRM to track contacts and deals
  • Advanced lead routing and round-robin assignment
  • GDPR-compliant data hosting in Europe
  • AI-powered phone answering
  • Apple Calendar sync

The best Doodle alternatives

1. Zeeg – Best overall Doodle alternative

The best Doodle alternative with CRM & GDPR

Switch from Doodle to Zeeg: native CRM, lead routing, round-robin, AI voice agent and Apple Calendar — without poll-only limits or US-only hosting.

2. Calendly

Calendly is the most widely used scheduling tool globally. It offers individual and team booking pages, integrations with Zoom, Salesforce, and HubSpot, and a clean interface. However, it is US-hosted, which can be a concern for European businesses under GDPR.

Calendly pricing

Calendly offers a free plan with limited features. Paid plans start from $10/month per user.

Calendly ratings

  • G2: 4.7 out of 5 stars
  • Capterra: 4.7 out of 5 stars

3. Doodle

Doodle itself offers a paid version with more features including one-on-one booking pages and team scheduling. If you mainly need polls, the paid plan may be worth it.

Doodle pricing

Doodle Pro starts from $6.95/month per user.

Doodle ratings

  • G2: 4.4 out of 5 stars
  • Capterra: 4.6 out of 5 stars

4. When2meet

When2meet is a free, no-login tool for group availability polling. It is extremely simple — no account required, no integrations, no paid plans. Good for one-off coordination but not suitable for professional scheduling workflows.

When2meet pricing

Free.

5. Acuity Scheduling

Acuity is a strong option for service businesses that need payments, intake forms, and recurring appointments. It is owned by Squarespace and is primarily US-focused.

Acuity Scheduling pricing

Acuity Scheduling offers a 7-day free trial, after which their monthly paid plans start from $16.

  • Capterra: 4.8 out of 5‍ stars
