Doodle was the go-to group scheduling tool for years. But in 2026, the free tier is cluttered with ads, participants need accounts, and the mobile experience is frustrating. WhenWorks was built to fix all of that.
Doodle's free plan adds friction through account prompts, upgrade nudges, and a more cluttered voting flow. WhenWorks is built around speed: share a link, respondents enter their name, and you get a clear answer without extra setup.
With Doodle, participants often need to create an account before they can respond. That friction kills response rates. WhenWorks lets anyone respond to your poll with just their name — no account, no email verification, no download. Share a link and they're in.
WhenWorks was designed mobile-first. Whether your participants are on an iPhone, Android, or a laptop, the experience is clean and fast. Doodle's free tier on mobile is a known pain point — small touch targets, cluttered layout, and slow load times.
Create a scheduling poll in under 30 seconds. Add your dates, copy the link, and send it. That's it. WhenWorks doesn't require calendar sync, integrations, or setup to get started. It just works.
