A cleaner, ad-free Doodle alternative
Doodle popularized the scheduling poll: list a handful of options, everyone ticks the ones that work, you eyeball the winner. It works, but you're limited to the slots you thought to offer, and the free tier shows ads.
Converge flips it: people mark when they're actually free across a whole window, and the best time rises to the top on its own. No ads, no option-picking tedium, and guests never need an account.
SIDE BY SIDE
Converge vs Doodle
SWITCHING OVER
Switching from a Doodle poll
Create the meeting
Set the window you would have listed options for. You never have to guess which slots to offer — Converge takes the whole range.
Share the link
Same as sending a poll. Guests paint the hours they are genuinely free rather than ticking the boxes you happened to pick.
Confirm the winner
The best overlap rises to the top on its own. Confirm it and everyone gets notified and calendared.
PICK CONVERGE WHEN
You want the time that actually works rather than the least-bad option on a list — and you would rather your invitees did not meet an ad on the way in.
STICK WITH DOODLE WHEN
Doodle's booking pages and polished brand suit sales and client-facing scheduling, and some teams are simply standardized on it. If you specifically want a bookable calendar page rather than group consensus, that's Doodle's lane.
QUESTIONS
How is Converge different from a Doodle poll?
A Doodle poll limits people to the specific time options you set up in advance. Converge lets everyone paint their real availability across the whole window, then computes the best overlap for you — so you're not constrained by the slots you happened to think of.
Does Converge show ads on the free plan?
No. Converge doesn't run ads, sell your data, or track you. Free is genuinely free — paid plans just unlock extras like calendar sync and higher limits.
Do guests need a Doodle-style account?
No account required. Share the link and anyone can respond as a guest.
