DirectPoll vs. Doodle

DirectPoll lets you create a poll in a minute and run it live. Your audience opens the vote link or scans a QR code and votes from their phones - no app to install, no account to create. The results appear live on a results screen you project, or right on your slides with the DirectPoll add-in for PowerPoint on Windows and the companion app for PowerPoint on macOS. You run the poll from the cockpit: prepare your questions in advance or on the spot, move through them at your own pace, and your audience cannot skip ahead.

Doodle is the easiest way to bring people together — without the endless email threads. Whether you're planning a 1:1, hosting a team sync, or coordinating a larger group, Doodle helps you find the right time without wasting hours going back and forth. It’s built for freelancers, small businesses, educators, recruiters, and enterprise teams who need a smarter way to schedule. Doodle gives you the tools to handle any kind of meeting. Use a Group Poll to let people vote on the times that work best for them. Want to skip the coordination altogether?
