LinxTime vs When2meet
When2meet finds availability. LinxTime
turns availability into confirmed plans.
Doodle Approach
"Which dates work for you?"
- 1. Create poll with date options
- 2. Everyone marks their availability
- 3. You pick the winning date
- 4. You confirm with attendees (again)
- 5. Hope everyone actually shows up
LinxTime Approach
"Commit to what works."
- Vote YES/MAYBE/NO on options
- YES = commitment to attend
- Auto-confirm when quorum met
- Calendar invites sent automatically
- Optional payment collection

Choose LinxTime When...
Events that need commitment
When you need people to actually show up, not just say "maybe". LinxTime locks plans when enough people commit.
Group trips and outings
Booking a cabin for 10 people? Set quorum at 10 and the trip only confirms when you have enough committed attendees.
Funded events
Collecting money for the group? LinxTime's Kickstarter-style pledges only charge when the event happens.
Recurring activities
Weekly game nights or book clubs work better with commitment-based RSVPs than preference voting.
Doodle Might Be Better When...
Finding availability
When you just want to see when people are free and don't need binding commitments.
Large enterprise teams
Doodle has more enterprise features and broader integrations for large organizations.
