    Comments about Framadate as an Alternative to Doodle
    Comment summary: Framadate is a well-regarded alternative to Doodle, praised for its open-source nature, lack of ads, and ease of use. Users appreciate its free availability and the ability to easily translate it into different languages. It offers similar features to Doodle with modular treatment of elements, though some users noted the absence of timezone conversion support and a less user-friendly mobile version. Framadate respects user freedom and integrates well with other services.

    Framadate has a very similar time selection interface as Doodle but is free and open source. Additionally it can be easily translated to other languages, even smaller ones like Esperanto (proprietary software usually doesn't care about that).

    Mobile Version does not look as easy as doodle. This is a deficit if you want to share a poll in a chat group.

    Dudle is a great piece of software, differentiating itself from most commercial alternatives by being open source, free, and respecting user privacy. The most popular server being operated by Tech University of Dresden, protected by strict european privacy law.

    I switched to Xoyondo since Doodle changed their system and discontinued some of the features. It is simple and has a clean design.

    Graet features, most of them free. Various types of surveys, including special ones such as entry lists.

    Simple to create a poll to choose a date; no need for an email address. The only improvement I could see to it is to get rid of the screen asking for more details such as a description. You don't have to fill it in, but I just want to get to the calendar.

    While both Doodle and Crab Fit serve for appointment scheduling, their time selection interfaces are quite different. I would say that Crab Fit is more intuitive for uninterrupted time blocks (even like the same time during several days), while Doodle works better when time is more discrete. Crab Fit beats Doodle as a free and open source software, and easily translatable to many languages, including smaller ones, like Esperanto.
