Pros

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

Jennifer D.

Owner

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

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. ”

Eric T.

Director, Digital Transformation

Pros

“As a CFP® who works one-on-one with corporate women navigating the financial complexity of leaving their jobs to go solo, I needed a client management system that could keep up with a high-touch practice — without requiring me to become a tech expert to run it.”

Tania B.

Owner

“Paperbell is built for coaches and consultants, which is exactly what I needed. But if your practice grows to include more complex team or employee management workflows, you may find it limited in that area.”

Tania B.

Owner

“The interface is intuitive, and what I couldn't figure out on my own, their support team handled — fast, and with real answers, not copy-paste responses.”

Tania B.

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

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

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.”

David K.

President

Cons

“I HAD to use Stipe for the payment even though it shows Paypal as an option and I already have an account with Paypal so that was frustrating.”

Adriann T.

Neurodivergent Coach

“Not sure if I can find cons apart from maybe that people don´t know about it and maybe don´t recognise the name in my link as being a website for coaching.”
