Easy Sign Up Sheet: the Doodle and Framadate alternative

Doodle and Framadate are polls: their job is to find a date. You propose several possible time options, people tick their availability, and you keep the one that suits the most people. To decide on a meeting date, they're exactly the right tool.

A poll and a sign-up sheet are not the same thing

The trouble is that Doodle often gets used for something it wasn't built for. A poll is made to compare a few possible dates and keep one. But if you drop in, say, all your training sessions for the next three months, every participant ends up with their own row stretched across every date — even the person who attends just once, with a single box ticked. The rows pile up, the table grows huge and mostly empty, and finding who's coming to a given session quickly becomes a headache.

When the slots are known in advance

Easy Sign Up Sheet is built for exactly that: the slots are known in advance (sessions, shifts, the times of a workshop), and each person signs up for the ones that suit them. No voting, no date to settle: a clear online sign-up sheet, easy to read on a phone, where you can see who signed up for what. As with Framadate, you share a link and participants don't need to create an account.

Which one to choose

Still figuring out when to hold something? Doodle or Framadate are perfect. The slots are already set and you just want people to sign up? That's a sign-up sheet's job — and it's all Easy Sign Up Sheet does.
