    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.

    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.
