Inlistr vs Doodle

Doodle is what people mean when they say "send round a poll". It is very good at finding a time. It is also funded by advertising, and the ads are shown to everyone you invite.

Doodle finds a time. So do we now — but we also do the part that comes after: who is bringing what, who takes which shift, who is actually coming. Where Doodle is straightforwardly better is calendar integration, and it deserves credit for deleting old polls automatically, which most tools do not.

• Proper two-way calendar sync with Google, Outlook and iCloud.
• Booking pages that read your real availability.
• It deletes old polls automatically, 30 days after the last date in them — genuinely good practice, and better than most of the industry.
• Twenty years of polish.

• No ads shown to anyone you invite.
• Nothing shared with advertising or identity-resolution companies.
• One tool for finding a time and for the sign-up list afterwards.
• No account to create a poll.
• Data stays on one server in Denmark.

If you live in your calendar and want scheduling that reads it, Doodle is the better tool and worth paying for. If you would rather the people you invite were not shown advertising, and you also need the list of who is bringing the cake, start here.
