What Doodle's free tier gives you, and where SyncWhen differs.
Doodle has a free tier, but it is limited: one group poll at a time, up to 10 time slots per poll, and ads. Unlimited polls, deadlines, and automatic reminders are reserved for paid plans starting at $11/month (billed yearly, $15 month-to-month).
On Doodle, unlimited polls, an ad-free experience, more than 10 time slots, deadlines, automatic reminders, hiding participants, and custom branding sit behind paid plans. The free tier covers one group poll at a time, with ads (calendar connections and the if-need-be vote are free).
Yes. SyncWhen is free with no credit card, no trial, and no ads. You can create unlimited scheduling polls without signing up - it is genuinely free, not freemium.
No. Participants vote with just their name - no signup, no email, no payment. The organizer needs no account either.
Unlimited polls, unlimited time slots, and an ad-free experience are all free on SyncWhen - the same things Doodle locks behind its paywall. No account is needed either, not even for the organizer. Hiding who voted what is free too: Doodle keeps “hide participants” for paid plans, while on SyncWhen the organizer ticks one box - voters see the totals, the organizer sees every name.
