How we grade them
| 2.2GPADoodleFair | 2.4GPAVyteFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DPro is $11 a seat a month billed annually, $15 monthly, when the middle of this category is $6 and the dear quarter starts at $10. Branding and Stripe payments are Team at $16 a seat, and Team needs at least 2 seats. | C$8 per user a month billed yearly, right at the middle of calendar tools. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree with no card, but it's one Group Poll, one Booking Page and one 1:1, plus basic Sign-up Sheets, with ads shown to you and to everyone you invite. Fine for the odd poll, hopeless for anything regular. | BThe free plan has a personal page, one synced calendar, 1-on-1 and group meetings and double-booking prevention. |
| Features | CGetting a group to agree a time: polls where each person sees their own zone, booking pages with buffers and daily limits, 1:1 invites that pull a slot when your calendar fills, sign-up sheets with caps. It's a smaller job than a calendar, and there's nothing here for running your own week. | CBooking page, groups, appointment types, teams and an API. Teams and paid appointments are Pro only. |
| Ease of use | BNo rating on record, as there's no app to rate any more, but there's nothing to set up: propose some times, send the link, people vote without signing up for anything. | CNo store rating on record. You connect calendars and set up appointment types. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, with connections to Google Calendar, iCloud, Zoom, Meet, Teams, Webex, Stripe and Zapier. Doodle withdrew its iOS and Android apps, though, so on a phone it's the browser. | BWeb and iPhone, with Google Calendar, Office 365, Zoom, Teams, Stripe, Zapier and Slack. No Android app is named. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
