Acuity Scheduling review

Acuity Scheduling, part of Squarespace, is built for businesses that book and bill clients. Pricing is per account with a set number of calendars rather than per user: Starter at $16 per month billed annually, or $20 monthly, includes one calendar, payments through Stripe, Square, PayPal and Venmo, email reminders, custom intake forms and automatic time zone conversion. Standard at $27 per month annually covers up to six calendars and adds text reminders, a waitlist for fully booked times, memberships and packages, and gift certificates. Premium at $55 per month annually covers up to 36 calendars. Every plan comes with a 7-day trial that needs no credit card. Compared with link-first tools such as Calendly, Acuity puts more weight on the client record and on selling sessions, which suits coaches and wellness practices. There is no free plan, and the most useful client features start on Standard.
