Arketa

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.”

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.”

Joseph A.

Owner

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

Janapher S.

Administrative Coordinator

Pros

“I have had reoccuring issues where if I enable referral codes for clients, their referral code will pop up with a competitor studio's name within it, which is a real great way to drive traffic to my studio as it just creates confusion about the brands and reminds students about the competitor's studio.”

Cami B.

Owner

“Additionally, their marketing suite has great capabilities that allow you to run promos seamlessly, track income from broadcasts/automations, and create specialized workflows for the client groups you want to reach.”

Briana R.

Owner

“The built-in automations have streamlined our daily operations and saved us countless hours of administrative work, allowing us to focus entirely on our clients and community.”

Becky I.

Owner

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.”

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.”

David K.

President

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

Terence Z.

Tech Support Engineer

Cons

“They raised my yearly plan without any notice, and when I requested support, they are not able to provide any proof they they sent notice.”

Cami B.

Owner

“Response times often take a week or longer, and despite having a chatbot on the website, getting in touch with an actual person who can provide a solution is nearly impossible.”
