Free Doodle Alternative —
No Account, No Ads

Doodle is fine until your voters hit the ad wall, the cookie consent banner, and the name-and-email prompt before every vote. CollectiveTap's VoteLink is the simple version: one link, one tap, no friction.

Create poll link → How VoteLink works

In short: CollectiveTap VoteLink is a free Doodle alternative for quick group polls — meeting times, "which option should we pick?", or any casual group decision. It's a single shareable link: creators don't sign up, voters don't type a name or email, and the link previews live in iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, and Discord with vote counts that update as people tap. Pick Doodle if you need Outlook/Google Calendar busy-free detection or a paid bookable calendar; pick CollectiveTap for every casual "when works for you?" that lives in a group chat.

Use Doodle
Booking paid consultations

Is CollectiveTap really free?
Yes. Completely free, no account, no ads, no upsells, no premium tier.
Do voters need to sign up?
No. One tap and they vote. Designed so that non-technical voters can participate without friction.
Can multiple voters pick the same time?
Yes. Any number of voters can pick the same option — the one with the most votes wins. Each voter casts a single vote per poll, and repeat votes from the same device are ignored.
