The one-line version
Doodle is a dedicated scheduling tool: polls to find a date, and booking pages for appointments. Yuki is a personal app for your whole day with polls and booking links built in, so a poll result or a booking ends up next to everything else you're keeping track of.

A “—” means not applicable or not something we can confirm — not that the product lacks it.

Where is Doodle stronger than Yuki?
- Scheduling is its whole focus, and it has been refined for that job over many years.
- More formats: 1:1s and sign-up sheets as well as group polls and booking pages.
- It is used by teams and organisations, with plans and branding for them. Yuki is a personal app and has no team plans.
- It connects to the main calendar and video-meeting tools, including Microsoft Outlook, which Yuki's scheduling features do not support yet.
- On Doodle Professional, it can send calendar invites to everyone once a date is picked. In Yuki you close the poll and add the event yourself.
Where Yuki is different
- An all-in-one assistant: calendar, tasks, email, money, trips and shared groups, with polls and booking in the same app rather than a separate tool.
- One poll can mix dates & times, text options and a comment box, and you choose names or anonymous and when results show.
- Polls for your Yuki groups too — family, flatmates, a trip — voted on in the app.
- Booking links where your events and timed tasks count as busy, and bookings land in your Yuki calendar.
- Your calendar also fills itself: Yuki turns confirmations in your Gmail into events, trips and expenses, and its AI answers from your own plans.
- No ads, and EU customers' data is stored in the EU. Yuki trains no AI model on your data.
What do Yuki polls include on Free and Pro?
Yuki polls suit a household, a group of friends or a trip that has to agree on a date. A Yuki poll is shared as a yukihq.com/poll link, and anyone votes in a browser without an account, answering each date and time with Yes, If need be or No. One poll can also hold text options and a comment box, and its creator chooses whether votes show names and when results appear. Inside a Yuki group, members vote in the app.
Yuki Free allows up to 3 public polls open at once; Yuki Pro has no limit, and on both plans voting can stay open for up to 30 days. Yuki shows no ads.
According to Doodle's help centre in September 2026, Doodle Free allows up to 10 time slots in each group poll and shows ads to you and your participants. Teams that want their own branding, Outlook connections or calendar invites sent to everyone are better served by Doodle.
Should you use Doodle or Yuki?
If you schedule for a team or an organisation, want your own branding, or rely on Outlook and video-meeting integrations, Doodle is built for that. If you want polls and booking links in the same app as the rest of your life — with your calendar, tasks and email beside them — Yuki is built for that.
