Doodle vs. OnceHub

Doodle is great when you need to coordinate dates among a group and don't want to send a bunch of group emails or texts. It allows a number of dates to be proposed and the group can easily see those dates that are most preferred. If you need to do something more complex than that it may not be your tool.

For all things bookings, including meetings, sales calls, events, and client onboarding, ScheduleOnce is the dominant software hands down. For shorter forms, such as quizzes and exercises on an online course, FormOnce is the far superior sibling as it's able to accommodate all needs, size, length, and customization.

• Doodle approaches this problem different than most other scheduling platforms I've looked at (and I've looked at most of them). Doodle allows the person who is making their calendar available for scheduling to make the final decision on the meeting in contrast to other platforms that typically do it the other way around. Both can be beneficial depending on preference
• I love that Doodle allows for proposing multiple times, which is a feature I've yet to find on other scheduling platforms (and I've looked at/tried a lot of them)
• Doodle makes the scheduling process very simple even for someone who's never used it before

• Booking page is easy to set up and use
• Many options as to the types of meetings/appointments that can be booked
• Improves my efficiency! Easy to send the booking link to colleagues, prospects, etc. have them select the most appropriate date and time to meet
• Enhances the professionalism of my business

• I would appreciate a more intuitive add-on within Google Calendar so we can schedule meetings directly in there.
• I think missing functionality might be adding sliders, photos, and colors to the polls to make it look really beautiful.
• I find the options on the poll settings are a bit confusing. It could be elaborated on more or have tooltips to explain the options better.

Incentivized

• I really wish I could put tracking pixels (i.e. AdWords conversion pixels) on the booking thank you pages. Having to direct to a thank you page on another platform is kind of a pain.
• The Salesforce connector pricing is a bit steep.
• Basic live chat capabilities would be awesome. Implementing a live chat widget alongside the ScheduleOnce widget can be a bit cluttered design wise.

Very simple journey with the few important questions/fields

Doodle has customer service support available as needed, but honestly, it is so easy to use that I have rarely had to seek support. They are always a click away and responsive to resolving any need or to clarify the next best step to using Doodle to meet my needs.

They would not prorate a refund - I'm just out the money for services I have not used. To me, that is the WORST POSSIBLE customer service ever.

Doodle is more customizable and I love the animation aspect. It is missing the engagement piece, but again I am new to it so there may be features in Doodle that I haven't discovered yet.

ScheduleOnce is the only platform that offered an easy way to send text messages to clients. I appreciated the ease of adding a few questions to qualify potential clients prior to getting onto a call with them. Easy to use and the customer service experience I have received has been great.

• Doodle saves so much time. Time is valuable, and it cuts the time involved with scheduling in half.
• Doodle connects our team across campus. Even if we don't see each other, we can still check in and plan a meeting.
• Doodle doesn't always work well with our campus network, which can be annoying.

• Saved me time by letting clients book their own appointments (5 hours a week).
• It's a professional way of doing business versus me playing phone tag to book an appointment, less work for my prospect ( at least 1-3 more sales).
• It has rescheduled missed appointments (1-3 more sales).
