Framadate vs Doodle Comments
Positive comment by KuboFHromoslav · Oct 8, 2023
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).
Positive comment by tuxmachine · Aug 7, 2022
Simple to use and free when you need to organize 2 or 3 meetings per year.

Crab Fit vs Doodle Comments
Positive comment by brinerustle · Oct 4, 2024
it allows people to easily choose meeting dates, times, and find the best overall overlap. Hands down the best app for finding the most participation in groups!
Positive comment by KuboFHromoslav · Oct 8, 2023
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.
