And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Doodle (Forced Upgrades & Ad-Heavy Free Tier): ... The free tier is now heavily cluttered with intrusive ads” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Workforce scheduling · negative prompt · hard negative

“Doodle: ads, no notifications). They break for panels/multi-interviewer needs” Grok 4.1 Fast · Interview scheduling · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Doodle. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 36 of the 41 answers that named Doodle and are not a share of its labels.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Doodle's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Doodle, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at doodle.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
