The Doodle alternative for planning the whole hangout
Doodle is great at finding a time. GetTogether helps your friends decide what to do, where to go, and who is coming too.
Free for friend groups. No app download or account required for guests.
One link for the decisions that matter
- Find a date — Add a few dates and times. Friends vote yes, maybe, or no, and the strongest option rises to the top.
- Pick the plan — Let everyone vote on venues, then use the optional AI planner for activity ideas instead of starting another thread after the date is settled.
- Make it real — Collect RSVPs, share the final details, and ask the optional AI planner for restaurants, activities, and a timeline.
More than a date poll
Use a focused availability poll when all you need is a meeting time. Use GetTogether when a group outing still has decisions left to make.

- Lock the plan — See the winning options, collect RSVPs, and send everyone the final event details.
About this planner
- What is the best Doodle alternative for a group hangout? GetTogether is a Doodle alternative for friend groups that need to choose more than a time. Friends can vote on dates and venues, get optional AI activity ideas, then RSVP and keep the final details on one shareable event page.
- Can I use GetTogether as a group availability poll? Yes. Add several dates and times, share the link, and friends vote yes, maybe, or no on each option. GetTogether highlights the option with the most support so the host can lock it in.
- How is GetTogether different from Doodle? Doodle is a useful focused scheduling poll. GetTogether adds the rest of a friend outing: place voting, RSVP tracking, event details, and optional AI activity and itinerary suggestions.
- Do friends need an account to answer the poll? No. Guests open the shareable link in their browser and vote or RSVP without downloading an app or creating an account.
- Can GetTogether help plan what we do after finding a date? Yes. The group can vote on places after the date poll, and the optional AI planner can suggest restaurants, activities, and a timeline based on the group's city and preferences.
Skip the second round of messages after everyone answers the date poll.
