Replace Doodle for Events
Go from polling dates to publishing events.
For organizers using date polling to coordinate events
Where Doodle limits you for events
Doodle was not built for event management. Here is where it leaves gaps.
Doodle charges $7+/month per user for its Pro plan. Event Schedule is free for unlimited events with a public schedule, and $5/month for ticketing with no per-user fees.
Zero platform fees on ticket sales. You only pay Stripe's processing fee.
What Event Schedule gives you over Doodle
Purpose-built features that replace the workarounds.
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.

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.
Doodle's strengths
- Simple interface for group date polling
- Quick setup with no account required for participants
- Effective for finding mutually available times

- 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
