Pairing your CRM and meeting scheduler tool is the perfect way to keep track of customer and lead engagements and activities. Nutshell Scheduler takes client appointments a step further by offering you the tools to affect real business growth. And to make things even easier, Nutshell Scheduler is built straight into Nutshell, eliminating the need for third-party CRM integration.
Nutshell Scheduler outperforms Doodle in the following ways:
Doodle is a meeting and collaboration scheduling tool with various features, including group polls for team meeting scheduling, event sign-up sheets, and automatic reminders.
Nutshell Scheduler is an advanced meeting scheduler native to Nutshell, an award-winning CRM solution designed to help businesses improve productivity and increase revenue. Because Nutshell Scheduler is built into the Nutshell system, it has easy access to Nutshell’s many tools, including your customer data. This makes it easy to interact with leads and customers through Nutshell Scheduler for improved nurturing and relationship building.
Book product demos, collaborative team huddles, client sales calls, and more with ease directly from the Nutshell platform. Invite meeting attendees by sharing your Scheduler link or embedding it on your website, plus give attendees the option to invite others. Attach a custom form to your meetings and appointments to capture essential prospect information. And send automated reminders and emails to engage and convert leads.
Schedule meetings, appointments, and more. Transforming bookings into opportunities for business growth has never been easier than with Nutshell Scheduler.
You’ve likely read about Doodle when on the hunt for the best online meeting scheduling tool. While it certainly offers a few helpful features, its complexity, zero co-hosting option on lower plans, and lack of sales integration make Doodle an undesirable option for many.
Nutshell Scheduler is the ideal Doodle alternative, providing sophisticated sales integration and a user-friendly tool you can rely on. You’ll receive timely notifications and reminders and can easily co-host an event with someone, even if they’re in a different time zone. Plus, Nutshell Scheduler is included on the Nutshell Pro plan and every plan above it, so you unlock Scheduler for your entire team.
Let’s take a closer look at how these two online appointment scheduling tools stack up against each other.
Because Nutshell Scheduler is native to the Nutshell CRM platform, you’ll always have a holistic view of your relationships with the customers and prospects scheduling bookings. Effortlessly embed your scheduler link into a Nutshell Form to capture vital information about your audience so that you can better understand them.
Nutshell will automatically send the information gathered through your form to your CRM, creating either a new Company or Person record and adding them as a Lead to your chosen sales pipeline. Viewing the record gives you access to all the Person or Company information and a detailed timeline of every interaction with your prospect.
Assign an activity type to each appointment, whether a call, demo, or virtual meeting, so that you can draw reports related to Scheduler bookings. This is a great way to keep track of call and meeting quotas and assess your team’s overall productivity.
If you opt for Doodle as your meeting scheduler, you’ll need an app like Zapier to facilitate integration with your CRM. This could become challenging, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the tech. It would also prove more expensive, as you’d have to sign up with Zapier and a CRM to get a good overview of your customer and prospect information relationships.
Whether you’re organizing a recruitment interview or client meeting, you may need more than one team member present for various reasons. With Nutshell Scheduler, you can seamlessly add a team member as a co-host to a new or existing event at no additional cost.
Simply choose the Co-host option when you begin the event setup process and add the relevant co-hosts from the dropdown list below it. Changing an existing “Solo” meeting to a “Co-host” meeting in the scheduler is equally as straightforward, with an “Add co-host(s)” button visible at the top right-hand corner of the scheduled event. All that’s left to do is update the hosting details by clicking the “Hosting details” link above the event.
Doodle also offers a co-hosting option, but there are some conditions attached. First, you must be a Team or Enterprise plan subscriber to access this feature. Second, you can only add another user from your team as a co-host, which means you’ll need to add them as a user at an additional cost.
Lots of people in your company, from your customer support team to your sales and marketing teams, may need to schedule a meeting or event at some point. We understand this at Nutshell, so we’ve included Nutshell Scheduler on our Nutshell Pro, Business and Enterprise CRM plans. That means that starting at $42 per user per month, everyone on your team can access a robust scheduling tool straight from your CRM software.
With Doodle, you can choose between three paid plans and a highly limited free plan. Paid plans are priced per user and start at $6.95 per user per month if billed annually. This entry price jumps all the way up to $14.95 per user per month if billed monthly. Irrespective, the cost of your Doodle scheduling tool can become rather steep when adding team members.
You’ll need a paid Doodle plan to add a second user and increase to more than one sign-up sheet, booking page, and 1:1 per month. You’ll also need to sign up for Doodle’s higher-tier plans to take advantage of features like co-hosted events, admin console, roles and permissions, activity reports, and single sign-on.
With Nutshell Scheduler, you can access every available Scheduler feature at one flat rate for your whole team. This includes the ability to add custom forms, send confirmations and reminders, get live support from our award-winning customer support team, and more.
