The short version

  • Only Doodle has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Doodle free plan restricted to one active poll and one booking page with 10-slot limit; ProofHub the Ultimate Control plan advertises $89 a month for the first 3 months and then charges $135, so the headline is an introductory rate
  • They diverge on capability: Doodle covers Group polls, ProofHub covers Tasks.

  • Free users see excessive advertisements on booking pages
  • Limited customization options for poll types and response formats
  • Mobile app experiences bugs and has less polished interface than desktop version

  • The Essential plan caps projects at 40 and storage at 15 GB
  • Storage is 100 GB even on the higher plan, which is low for a tool holding project files
  • There is no free tier, and the entry price is a flat $45 a month billed annually
