Pros

“My favorite feature is that I can set specific appointment times on my availability calendar such as 10a, 1pm, 3:30p . ”
JD

Jennifer D.

Owner

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

Janapher S.

Administrative Coordinator

“Acuity filled the scheduling gap where we needed it. As we grew the business, it provided us with quick wins in standing up a new business model that required dynamic scheduling across multiple platforms including M365, Postgresql and Retool. ”

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.

“That it doesn’t offer enough customization for the scheduling interface.”
CF

Colby F.

Personal Trainer and Nutritionist

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