Reservio vs Doodle

Reservio is a free-first scheduling tool designed for service providers and small businesses. It centrally manages appointments, group events, and staff shifts through its online calendar.

Additional features include a built-in POS system, customer database with loyalty tools, branded booking websites, and automated SMS/email reminders to minimize no-shows.

Reservations integrate with Google Calendar, iCal, and website widgets, making booking seamless across channels. Its Enterprise version scales to multi-location organizations, with enhanced client and marketing capabilities.

Doodle is a veteran favorite in collaborative scheduling, widely trusted by individuals, businesses, and educational institutions across more than 200 countries and reaching tens of millions of users monthly. It thrives on simplicity: one person proposes multiple date-and-time options, shares a poll link, and participants indicate their availability—creating a clear visual grid that reveals the best fit effortlessly.

On paid plans, it becomes even more powerful with branded booking pages, “power settings” to control buffers, booking limits, minimum notice, and automated reminders to prevent no-shows. Doodle also integrates seamlessly with external tools like Zoom, Outlook, and Zapier, enhancing its behavior as a scheduling hub.
