SimplyBook.me vs Doodle

SimplyBook.me is an advanced online booking and business management system designed for service-based industries seeking both flexibility and scalability.

Users are granted a personalized, mobile-optimized booking site upon sign-up, complete with customizable design templates, intake forms, and appointment scheduling that can function standalone or integrate seamlessly via widgets into existing websites or social media platforms.

With over 60 custom features, SimplyBook.me offers extensive functionality: from intake forms and service add-ons to class scheduling, packages, memberships, and product sales.

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.
