7 Acuity alternatives by cost

Acuity charges per account, so many tools cost more for a team. Check this before you move.

Cost for a year, billed yearly, before tax and fees, on the lowest plan that fits. Sorted by 6 users. Acuity is shown for comparison. Plan names are in the sections below.

Why people leave Acuity

• Price for one person. $16 a month at the lowest, with no free plan. Text reminders need $27, and removing the logo needs $55 (pricing).
• Bugs and support. Users in an r/squarespace thread call it "a hot mess for scheduling classes" and say support "is basically worthless at this point". These are single opinions, and we did not test them.
• Your brand. The booking page cannot use your own domain. You can only embed it.

Who bought Acuity Scheduling?

Squarespace owns it. Some users feel the product gets less attention now. We cannot measure that.

How do I move my clients out of Acuity?

We did not test an export. Check the export options before you cancel, and keep the account until booked appointments are done. Packages and gift certificate balances may not move.
