Replace Doodle

Go from polling dates to publishing events.
Why Doodle falls short for events
Doodle was not built for event management. Here is where it leaves you stuck.
What Event Schedule gives you instead
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.
Event Graphics
Generate shareable event graphics and AI flyers automatically. Promote events visually without separate design tools.
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
Why switch to Event Schedule?

- 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
