The Doodle meeting scheduler flow, free and without ads
If you came here looking for Doodle, you probably want one specific thing: propose a few meeting times, share one link, and see which one most people can make. Decider does exactly that, keeps the guest page ad-free, and never asks the people you invite to create an account.
How the meeting scheduler works
Propose your candidate times
Tap or drag times on the calendar and set the meeting length once. Drag a slot's edge to change how long it runs.
Share one link
Copy the link into chat or email. It works the same way a Doodle link does, so the group needs no explanation.
Everyone votes Yes, Maybe or No
Guests type their name and answer. Times appear in each person's own time zone, and Maybe flags a conflict that could move.
Lock the time
Lock the slot most people can make, and everyone adds it to Google, Outlook or Apple Calendar in one tap, with the video link if Decider created one.
How it differs from Doodle's free plan
- No ads on the page you send to colleagues, clients or parents.
- Guests never sign up; they open the link and answer.
- A built-in video link and calendar export once the time is locked.
- Automatic time-zone conversion for every participant.
- Free for organisers, with an optional Pro plan only for connecting your own calendar.
Put your times in a poll
Tap a few times on a calendar, share one link and let the group vote.
What people schedule with it
Team and cross-department meetings
Calendars that never line up, where one link replaces a thread of tentative invites.
Client and external calls
People whose calendars you cannot see and who should not be asked to register for a tool.
Committees and boards
Groups where reaching quorum matters more than a perfect time for everyone.
Clubs, classes and social plans
Larger informal groups who will only use something that works on the first tap.
Questions about switching from Doodle
Is this the same as Doodle?
No, Decider is a separate product and is not affiliated with Doodle. It covers the same core job, a meeting poll where the group votes on proposed times.
Is it free like Doodle's free plan?
Creating and sharing polls is free, and unlike an ad-supported free plan there are no ads on the page your guests see.
Do my guests need an account?
No. They open the link, add their name and vote. Only the organiser signs in.
Can I import my existing Doodle polls?
There is no import. To recreate a poll, add the same times in Decider and share the new link.
What does Doodle still do that Decider does not?
Doodle also offers booking pages tied to your own availability and paid team features. If you need a recurring booking link rather than a one-off group decision, that is a fair reason to stay.
