Pros

“It gives us an organized way to manage registrations and availability and makes it easier for guests to reserve their spot ahead of time.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Sarah T.

Sr Marketing Manager

“The direct integrations keep client data and referral sources highly organized, letting you see exactly what marketing efforts are actually driving bookings.”
JA

Joseph A.

Owner

“It is a reliable scheduling solution that helps streamline appointment management, improve client communication, and reduce administrative tasks.”
JS

Janapher S.

Administrative Coordinator

Pros

“I also like being able to send out e-newsletters and have an AI feature to help me polish my messages and give suggestions with integrated call to action buttons. And lastly, it gives multiple integrated ways to collect payments and issue automatic receipts that has my branding on everything.”
OW

Olga W.

Owner

“The multi calendar option also allows our business to offer a variety of different activities at the same time to manage capacity levels.”

Andrew B.

Managing Director

“we have used it for years for our home business and it has helped us keep up with customer's, ease for scheduling for them and contact/follow-up”

Cons

“Customizing the booking page beyond the basics requires more effort than it should. And if you have a more complex multi-staff setup, the logic around calendar management can get confusing quickly.”
DT

Dimitri T.

consultant

“Acuity Scheduling is on time-based events, so it's not a solution for multi-day events, industries like hotels, and bed and breakfasts.”
DK

David K.

President

“Customizations require CSS/HTML, which non-tech savy users may find inconvenient or difficult to implement changes with.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Terence Z.

Tech Support Engineer

Cons

“We also have issues with the tipping option for invoices sporadically, and I do wish we could confirm appointments for clients in cases where they tell us directly rather than through the automated system.”
DT

Deidra T.

Owner

“There are some missing features like robust inventory tracking or advanced color-coding, leading to glitches.”
cr

cory r.

Ops

“Also, the sms function seems to be unreliable despite having enough credits (only with certain clients from time to time, but recently became more frequent).”
