A free, private Doodle alternative for friends
Doodle added paid tiers and ads. stelovo keeps the one thing you actually need: a quick way to find a night that works for your group — built for friends, not work calendars.
If you just want to pick a night with a handful of friends, a full scheduling suite is overkill — and sitting through ads to do it stings. stelovo keeps it to the essentials: propose a few dates, everyone taps what works, and the plan lands.
It's invite-only and private. No public poll links floating around, no feed, no algorithm. When the plan's done, the whole group can quietly disappear — chat history and all.
How it works
- 1Create a private group and invite the friends you actually want there.
- 2Propose a few dates. Everyone taps the ones that work — just like a Doodle poll.
- 3When enough people line up on a date, it's confirmed. Add it to your calendar.
How stelovo compares to Doodle
Doodle is built for work: booking pages, team scheduling, calendar integrations — and, since its paid plans arrived, ads and limits on the free tier. stelovo is built for the opposite end: a few friends, a couple of nights out a month, nothing to manage afterward.
It's genuinely free, with no ads and no paid tier. We don't sell data, run ads, or analyze your chats — it's a small personal project, not a growth funnel.
Everything is private and temporary. Groups — we call them constellations — are invite-only, and they expire on a date you choose, taking the chat history with them. No archive to manage, no old polls lingering.
If you need to book client meetings or sync work calendars, Doodle or Cal.com are the right tools. If you just want to get the same few people in the same place this month, that's exactly what stelovo is for.
Frequently asked
Is stelovo really free?▾
Yes — completely free, with no ads and no paid tier. It's a small personal project, not a business.
Do my friends need an account?▾
You, the organizer, have an account; the people you invite join with a link. You can even vote on behalf of a partner who isn't on stelovo yet and hand their spot over later.
How is it different from Doodle?▾
Doodle is a work-scheduling tool with booking pages, integrations, ads, and paid tiers. stelovo is a private, free, friends-only way to pick a night — and the group disappears when you're done.
Can I use it for work meetings?▾
You can, but it's designed for small social groups. For client booking or syncing work calendars, a tool like Doodle or Cal.com fits better.
What happens to our data?▾
Nothing is sold or analyzed. When a group reaches its end date, everything in it — including the chat — is deleted.
