Doodle to Event Schedule

Replace Doodle for events.

Go from polling dates to publishing events.

For organizers using date polling to coordinate events

Today, in four tabs

Doodle Calendly Google Forms Google Sheets

Not everyone runs all four. Whichever of them you do run, the event details get copied between them by hand, because none of them was built for events.

The gaps

Where Doodle limits you for events

Doodle was not built for event management. These are the places the event part has to be done somewhere else.

Doodle
  1. Only helps pick dates, not manage or promote events
  2. No event pages, ticketing, or attendee management
  3. No calendar view or public schedule sharing
  4. Requires switching to another tool after date selection

None of that is a fault in Doodle. It is a general-purpose tool being asked to run an event, which is why the rest of the job ends up in other tabs.

Done natively

What Event Schedule gives you over Doodle

The same work, in the tool that already knows what an event is.

Full Event Management

Create events with dates, details, images, and ticket options. No need to switch tools after picking a date.

Public Schedule Page

Share a calendar of all your events with one URL. Attendees see upcoming events, not just a date poll.

Ticketing & RSVPs

Sell tickets or collect free RSVPs with automatic confirmations. Doodle has no registration functionality.

Google Calendar Sync

Two-way sync with Google Calendar. Your events appear on your calendar and your calendar events can sync back.

AI Event Import

Paste event details in any format and AI parses them into structured events. Faster than manual event creation.

Subscriber Signups

Visitors subscribe to your schedule for updates on new events. Build your audience directly instead of sending new poll links each time.

The swap sheet

Doodle vs Event Schedule

Line by line, on the event work. A dash in the Doodle column means that job is not built in, so today it is living in another tab. A tick in the Event Schedule column does not mean free: the three cards below say which plan carries what.

Free

$0

Unlimited events and schedules. Public event pages and a shareable calendar. Two-way Google, Outlook and CalDAV sync. Free RSVP with a capacity limit. Embeddable calendar, built-in analytics, AI event parsing, and 10 newsletter emails a month.

Pro

$5 a month

Ticketing with QR check-in and the check-in dashboard. Custom fields on the form, waitlist, promo codes, sales export. Event graphics, the embeddable ticket widget, the REST API and webhooks. 100 newsletter emails a month.

Enterprise

$15 a month

Your own domain. Up to five team members. Internal and unlisted events. AI flyer and style generation, AI agenda scanning, WhatsApp event creation, and 1,000 newsletter emails a month.

Two footnotes worth reading before you switch. Your follower list is never capped, but the monthly newsletter allowance counts recipients rather than sends, so one letter to 40 followers spends 40 of it. And Free is a single team member; extra members are Enterprise. What does not change with the plan is the fee on ticket sales, which is zero on all three. Past Stripe's own processing, the money is yours.

Doodle

About Doodle

Doodle is a scheduling poll tool that helps groups find a common time to meet. Event organizers sometimes use it to pick event dates, but Doodle stops at the poll - it does not help you create, promote, or manage the actual event once a date is chosen.

What it is good at

  • Simple interface for group date polling
  • Quick setup with no account required for participants
  • Effective for finding mutually available times
Event Schedule

Why switch to Event Schedule?

Doodle stops at picking a date. Event Schedule takes you from event creation through promotion, ticketing, and check-in day.

What moves across

  • Full event management from creation to check-in, not just date polling
  • Public schedule page with all your events shareable from one URL
  • Ticketing and RSVPs with automatic confirmations
  • Two-way Google Calendar sync keeps everything updated

Doodle to Event Schedule FAQ

What people ask before they move the event work across.

Is Event Schedule a good Doodle alternative for event management?

Yes. Doodle stops at picking a date. Event Schedule takes you from event creation through promotion and ticketing to check-in day. You get public event pages, ticket sales, Google Calendar sync, and newsletters in one platform.

Is Event Schedule free to use?

Yes. The free plan includes unlimited events, public event pages, Google Calendar sync, newsletters, and fan engagement features. Ticketing with zero platform fees is available on the Pro plan for $5/month.

Does Event Schedule have scheduling or polling features like Doodle?

Event Schedule includes event polls on the Pro plan for collecting attendee preferences. For date selection, you create events with set dates and share them through your public schedule page. It is designed for publishing events, not polling for availability.

Can attendees see all my upcoming events in one place?

Yes. Your public schedule page shows all upcoming events in a calendar view with full details and ticket links. Attendees can browse your entire event lineup from one URL instead of receiving separate poll links for each event.

Can I collect RSVPs for free events?

Yes. Event Schedule supports free RSVPs with automatic confirmation emails. Attendees register through your event page and you get a real attendee list with check-in tools.
