Polling isn't scheduling

Doodle's core idea is a poll: propose a handful of times, send it around, wait for everyone to vote, then manually pick the winner. That's an extra round trip most meetings don't need — and on the free tier, your invitees see ads while they're voting.

Riverli skips the poll entirely. Everyone's real calendar availability is checked automatically, so a guest only ever sees times that already work for the whole group — they pick one and it's booked, no waiting on votes, no ads, no back-and-forth.
