Great poll. Terrible plan.
Doodle finds a time everyone might be free. OrganAise confirms a time everyone definitely is — without the three-day poll, the 'I forgot to vote' message, or the moment you realise the winner slot was taken in your other calendar the whole time.
Works seamlessly with Google, Microsoft, and Apple calendars.
Faster confirmations. No polls. No voting. Just a time that works.
Conflicts prevented. Because 'the poll said Tuesday' isn't a defence.
Fewer reschedules. Real availability produces real meetings.
Why People Leave Doodle
The Doodle loop. You know the one.
Send poll. Wait three days. Chase the person who hasn't voted. Pick the winning time. Discover it's in your other calendar. Reschedule. Repeat until someone quits.
A poll is not a meeting
Doodle finds the time with the most votes. It does not check whether the time is actually free. It does not send the invite. It does not prevent the conflict. You do all of that yourself — manually.
It doesn't know about your other calendars
Voters pick times that look free. They're not checking your Google, Outlook, or iCloud. The winning time might land directly on top of your existing commitments.
Someone always forgets to vote
You send the poll. You wait. You send a reminder. Two people have voted. Four days have passed. The meeting hasn't happened. You've lived this.

Why OrganAise
What you actually get instead
OrganAise isn't a poll. It's a scheduling system. Here's what that distinction means in practice.
Real availability. Real bookings.
Share a link. Other person picks a time from slots that are genuinely free across all your calendars. Meeting is booked, invite sent, video link included.
Every calendar. One truth.
Google, Outlook, Apple — read simultaneously and only what's genuinely available is shown. A commitment in iCloud is as much a 'no' as one in work Outlook.
Built for multi-company professionals
Doodle is for groups. OrganAise is for professionals whose groups span multiple companies. Share availability across organisations without revealing what's in your calendar.
Conflict prevention that works
12,000+ double bookings blocked. OrganAise checks every connected calendar before confirming. The conflict can't happen if the slot is never offered.
Who It's For
Beyond the group poll
If your scheduling needs went past 'find a time that works for everyone' — welcome to OrganAise.
Fractional Leaders
Three companies. Six calendars. One OrganAise account that sees them all. Your availability is cross-referenced in real time.
Project Managers
OrganAise runs the schedule so you can focus on the project — not the administrative theatre of getting the project's meetings to happen.
Client-Facing Teams
A polished booking page that shows real availability and confirms instantly says something completely different to a three-day Doodle poll with two non-respondents.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is OrganAise actually better than Doodle, or just different?
Different problems, different tools. Doodle is a polling tool — great for finding a consensus time among a group, especially when those people don't share calendar systems. OrganAise is a scheduling tool — it connects to your real calendars, checks actual availability, books the meeting, and prevents conflicts.
Can OrganAise replace Doodle for group scheduling?
Yes — and with less friction. Instead of sending a poll and waiting for votes, you share your real availability and people book directly. For groups across multiple companies, cross-company availability sharing means everyone sees accurate free/busy without exposing details.
What calendars does OrganAise connect to?
Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, and Apple iCloud — all three simultaneously. Every connected calendar is checked before any slot is offered.
Does OrganAise work for people who work at multiple companies?
It was built for exactly that. Fractional executives, consultants, and multi-client professionals are OrganAise's core user.
Can I try OrganAise before paying?
Yes — 14-day free trial, no credit card required.
Done waiting for people to vote.
Your meetings deserve to actually happen. No polls, no chasing, no conflicts — just scheduling that works.
