The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Doodle free plan restricted to one active poll and one booking page with 10-slot limit; Rosy rosy Salon Software prices at $29/month only with a RosyPay discount, meaning full-price customers pay more than the advertised headline rate; the vendor's own pricing page shows the undiscounted comparison price as an unrendered placeholder ($XYZ/month), so only the discounted figure is a reliable USD number.
  • They diverge on capability: Doodle covers Group polls, Rosy covers Online booking.

  • 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
