Value for money
BPro is $11 per seat a month billed annually, $15 monthly. That's about the going rate for booking tools, and it buys unlimited polls and pages with no ads. Custom branding and Stripe payments need Team at $16 a seat, with at least 2 seats.
BIndividual is $7.20 a month if you pay for 2 years, $8.10 billed yearly or $9 monthly, for 2 booking pages and 2 calendars. About typical. Workflows and analytics start on Professional at $10.40, and round robin needs Team at $14.40 a member.
Free plan and trial
BFree with no card, but it's one Group Poll, one Booking Page and one 1:1, plus basic Sign-up Sheets. Ads show to organisers and participants alike. Fine for the odd poll, tight for anything regular.
BFree forever, with Stripe payments, Zoom, Teams and Meet links, meeting polls and up to 7 form questions. But it's 1 calendar connection and 1 booking page, and your pages and emails carry a 'Powered for free' button. Tight.
Features
AGroup polls where each person sees times in their own zone, booking pages with buffers and daily limits, 1:1 invites that pull a slot when your calendar fills, and sign-up sheets with capped sessions. Guests don't need an account.
AAppointment types with their own prices and durations, buffers and notice periods, payment before a booking is confirmed, email and SMS reminders, workflows with no-show management, round robin, analytics and an API. That covers the booking job in depth.
Ease of use
BWe have no App Store rating on record, and there's no app to rate any more. The format is familiar: propose times, share a link, people vote without signing up.
BConnect a calendar and you have a page to share as a link, an embed or a QR code. There's a lot you can customize, which takes a while if you do all of it. No rating on record to go by, so a B.
Platforms and integrations
BWeb only now. Doodle withdrew its iOS and Android apps from the stores, so on a phone it runs in the browser. It connects Google Calendar, iCloud Calendar, Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Stripe and Zapier.
BA web app with a Chrome extension. There's no mobile app: bookings are managed from a browser, your calendar or email. It connects to Google, Microsoft and iCloud calendars, Zoom, Teams, Stripe, HubSpot and Zapier.

Who each one suits

Doodle

  • Finding a meeting time across people who do not share a calendar system
  • Event organizers who need sign-up sheets with capped sessions
  • Occasional schedulers who can work within one free poll and booking page

YouCanBookMe

  • Solo professionals and small businesses that want a branded booking page
  • Taking payment through Stripe at the moment of booking
  • Teams that need round-robin assignment across members

Worth knowing

Doodle

  • The Free plan is limited to one Group Poll, one Booking Page and one 1:1, and shows ads to organizers and participants.

  • Custom branding, Stripe payments and the admin console start on Team, which requires at least 2 seats.
  • Single sign-on is limited to Enterprise, which starts at $15k billed annually.

YouCanBookMe

  • The Free plan allows 1 calendar connection and 1 booking page, and its pages and emails carry a 'Powered for free' button.
  • There is no mobile app; YouCanBookMe says its pages are mobile responsive and bookings are managed from a browser, calendar or email.
  • Automated workflows, analytics, promotion codes and the HubSpot and Zapier integrations start on Professional; round robin and API access need Team.
  • The lowest listed prices require paying for 2 years up front, and UK customers have 20% VAT added.

Key features

Doodle

Group Polls
Propose several times and let invitees vote. People inside or outside your organization can take part without shared calendar access, and each sees the options in their own time zone.
Booking Pages
Set the hours for each page, limit bookings per day, add buffer times and share the link. People who book receive reminders. Free allows one page; paid plans allow unlimited.
1:1 invitations
Offer one person a list of times to pick from, without them needing a Doodle account. A slot is withdrawn automatically if your connected calendar fills up first.
Sign-up Sheets
Registration pages for workshops, webinars and other events, with a cap on attendees per session and automatic reminders. Participants do not need a Doodle account.
Calendar and video conferencing links
A connected calendar prevents double bookings and sends calendar invites to participants. Pro adds Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Webex links to meetings.
Team administration and payments
The Team plan adds an admin console with roles and permissions, co-hosted events, booking on behalf of colleagues, activity reports, custom branding and Stripe payments.

YouCanBookMe

Customizable booking pages
Every plan takes your logo and text; paid plans add a brand color, background image and footer. Pages can be embedded on a website or shared as a link or QR code, and support over 40 languages.
Appointment types and availability
Offer appointment types with their own durations, prices and locations, and control availability with buffers, minimum and maximum notice periods and a daily meeting limit.
Payments at booking
The Stripe integration takes credit and debit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay before a booking is confirmed. Promotion codes are available from the Professional plan.
Notifications and workflows
Email and SMS confirmations, reminders and follow-ups can be customized. Professional adds automated workflows with no-show management. SMS carries an extra charge.
Team scheduling
The Team plan lists several team members on one page, distributes meetings by round robin, and manages members, roles and billing from one dashboard.
Meeting polls and Chrome extension
Polls let a group vote on times before a meeting is fixed, and the Chrome extension shares preferred times from the browser. Both are listed on the Free plan.
