Doodle Pricing in 2026: Every Plan, the Free Tier Limits, and the Hidden Gotchas
Doodle costs $15 per month for its Professional plan on monthly billing, or $132 per year (about $11 per month) if you pay annually. The Team plan is $19.95 per user per month on monthly billing, dropping to $8.95 per user per month when billed annually, with a two-seat minimum. Enterprise is custom-quoted. And yes — Doodle is still free, if you can live inside a tight set of limits.
That’s the short version. Prices shift and vary by region (Doodle bills in USD, EUR, and CHF based on your location), so confirm the current numbers on Doodle’s own pricing page before you buy. Below is the full breakdown as of July 2026, including the free-tier caps most write-ups skip and a few billing traps worth knowing about.
Doodle plans at a glance
| Plan | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | One-off polls where ads and a 10-slot cap don’t matter |
| Professional | $15/mo monthly, or $132/yr (~$11/mo) annual | One person who schedules constantly and wants it ad-free |
| Team | $19.95/user/mo monthly, or $8.95/user/mo annual (2-user min, up to 100) | Small teams sharing branding and admin |
| Enterprise | Custom quote | Large orgs needing SSO, security review, and volume seats |
Free plan
Doodle’s free tier still exists, and for a single quick poll it’s fine. You get one active group poll, one booking page, and one 1:1 at a time. The catch is what “one active” means: you can’t spin up a second poll until you close or delete the first.
Beyond the count limit, the free plan caps you at 10 time slots per poll (Professional lifts that to 1,000), shows ads to both you and everyone you invite, and requires an account just to create a poll. The “if need be” (maybe) vote, automatic reminders, and voting deadlines are all Professional-only — free polls are yes/no. For a deeper look at how the free tier changed, see our writeup on what changed with Doodle polls.
Doodle Professional
Professional is the single-license paid plan, and it’s what most solo Doodle users end up on. It’s $15 per month billed monthly, or $132 per year billed annually — roughly $11 per month if you commit for the year. That annual commitment is billed upfront in one charge.
What you pay for is mostly the removal of free-tier friction: no ads, calendar sync, up to 1,000 time slots per poll, reminders, deadlines, the “if need be” vote, custom branding, and the ability to collect contact info from participants. If you schedule group meetings weekly, that adds up to real time saved. If you run a poll a few times a year, it’s a lot of money for an ad blocker.
Doodle Team
Team is priced per user with a two-seat minimum, so the entry point is effectively double the sticker. At $19.95 per user per month on monthly billing, two seats is about $40 a month; on annual billing at $8.95 per user per month, two seats is roughly $17.90 a month (billed upfront for the year). Team scales from 2 up to 100 users and layers admin controls and shared branding on top of everything in Professional.
Billing gotchas worth knowing before you pay
The annual-vs-monthly gap is large. Professional is $15/mo monthly but $132/yr annual — the annual rate is about 27% cheaper per month, but you pay the whole $132 upfront. Team is even steeper: $19.95/user/mo monthly versus $8.95/user/mo annual, more than a 55% swing. If you’re comparing Doodle to another tool on price, make sure you’re comparing the same billing cycle.
Team has a two-seat minimum. There’s no single-seat Team plan. Even a solo user who wants Team’s admin features pays for two seats, so the real floor is roughly $17.90/mo annual or ~$40/mo monthly, not the per-user number in the marketing copy.
Doodle paused its mobile apps. Per Doodle’s own announcement, updated July 1, 2026, the Doodle mobile app is being “officially paused” on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Doodle says it’s rebuilding the app from scratch and, in the meantime, directs everyone to the mobile website. Existing installs keep working but are no longer actively supported. If a phone app is central to how your team schedules, factor that in — you’re paying for a browser experience on mobile right now.
Ignore the $6.95 figures floating around. A lot of aggregator and review sites still quote Doodle Pro at $6.95/month. That number is outdated — Doodle’s own help center, updated April 28, 2026, lists Professional at $15/mo monthly or $132/yr. If a comparison page shows $6.95, it hasn’t been refreshed.
Is Doodle still free?
Yes. The free plan didn’t disappear — it got narrower. You can create group polls, a booking page, and 1:1s without paying, which covers a genuine one-off need. But the 10-slot cap, the one-active-poll limit, the ads shown to your invitees, and the loss of reminders, deadlines, and maybe-votes mean the free tier feels more like a trial than a durable free tool. If your scheduling is occasional and you don’t mind the ads, free works. If it’s a regular part of your week, you’ll bump into the ceiling fast.
When Doodle Professional isn’t worth $132 a year
The core question isn’t whether Doodle works — it’s whether you’re scheduling often enough to justify $132/year (or $40/month if you skip the annual commitment) mostly to remove ads and lift slot caps. If you run a group poll a handful of times a year, that math is hard to defend, and the paused mobile app makes it harder.
There are free tools that don’t gate the basics. Carly offers a free group-scheduling availability grid — participants drag-select when they’re free, can optionally connect a calendar to auto-fill busy times, and never need an account to respond — plus free booking pages for 1:1s, none of it behind a slot cap or ads. (Carly is also a full AI executive assistant that handles scheduling over email; that side starts at $35/month, but the grid and booking pages are free to use.) For a wider set of options, our roundup of Doodle alternatives covers open-source polls, When2Meet-style grids, and Calendly-style booking links, and we’ve got head-to-head breakdowns like Doodle vs When2Meet, Doodle vs Calendly, and WhenIsGood vs Doodle.

FAQ
Is Doodle free? Yes. Doodle’s free plan lets you create one active group poll, one booking page, and one 1:1, with a 10-slot cap per poll and ads shown to you and your invitees. Reminders, deadlines, and the “if need be” vote are paid-only.
How much is Doodle Pro? Doodle Professional is $15 per month on monthly billing, or $132 per year (about $11 per month) if you pay annually, billed upfront. Ignore older listings quoting $6.95 — that price is outdated per Doodle’s help center.
How much is Doodle Team? Doodle Team is $19.95 per user per month billed monthly, or $8.95 per user per month billed annually, with a two-seat minimum and support for up to 100 users. So the real starting cost is two seats, not one.
Did Doodle get rid of its app? Doodle paused its mobile apps on the App Store and Google Play as of July 1, 2026, and is rebuilding them from scratch. For now, Doodle directs users to the mobile website; existing app installs keep working but aren’t actively supported.

"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
