Comparing 6 Auto-Schedulers – a First!

Recently, I published a couple of new podcast episodes to compare the 6 most popular auto-schedulers. (Dec 2019)

The series actually consist of long conversations with Dr. Melanie Wilson, who introduced me to the first auto-scheduler back in January 2015. This introduction had a profound impact on my professional life, leading me to give birth to ScheduleU.

In this discussion, we come up with the best criteria to judge the quality of an auto-scheduler, then we applied them to each of the 6 apps which currently dominate the market: TimeHero, SkedPal, Sorted3, Focuster, Futurenda and Flux-Speed Schedules. This is the first comparison I have ever seen so we were a bit nervous treading into uncharted waters. Although both of us are longtime SkedPal users, we tried to be as unbiased as possible, hoping to apply criteria that would be enduring.

At the end, I summarized our findings in the form of an interactive Decision Tree Tool along with a Comparison Table.

Here is the first episode of two.

SkedPal – Interview with Dr. Melanie Wilson

Dr. Melanie Wilson is a psychologist and very busy mother of six children – a fact she touts in her website’s URL – “pyschowith6.”

In this interview we talk about our use of SkedPal. It’s perhaps the first recorded interview between two regular users about how we are using the program.

Listen in to our conversation here on The 2Time Labs podcast.
