Chooseday vs Doodle

Beyond scheduling: the Doodle alternative for every group decision

Doodle solves one problem: finding a meeting time. Chooseday solves the rest — venue selection, team votes, product priorities, and any decision your group needs to make.

Why teams switch

The problems Chooseday was built to solve

📅
Doodle only solves "when", never "what"

Chooseday handles any decision — venue, product direction, team names, budget calls. One tool for every group choice.

🚫
Ads interrupt decisions on the free plan

Chooseday's free plan is completely ad-free. Your team stays focused on the decision, not the distractions around it.

🗳️
No anonymous voting means politics wins

Enable anonymous mode and people vote on merit, not on what the boss might think. Better outcomes, less politics.

What teams are saying

“

We needed to pick a product name across 12 stakeholders. Doodle couldn't do it. Chooseday had our answer in under an hour.

I didn't realise how many decisions we were botching just because we had no proper tool for non-scheduling votes. Chooseday filled that gap immediately.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know

Yes! You can create a vote with time options as choices and let your team pick. It's just more flexible than a dedicated scheduling tool.

Venue selection, team names, product priorities, hiring decisions, event themes, budget allocation — anything where a group needs to align on one option.

No hard limit. Add as many options as your decision needs.

The decision creator is notified of the tie and can either extend voting, run a tiebreaker round with the tied options only, or cast a deciding vote themselves.
