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

“Practice.do's greatest strength is its ability to centralize client activity and automate tedious administrative tasks via Smart Actions, freeing me up to focus more time on what makes me money -- client work and growth/development.”

Frederick G.

Executive Director

“I would like to like this software. But customer service needs to step it up. ”

Erin J.

Coach

“It's super simple interface made it easy to create programs and services, automations, etc.”

Jen M.

CEO

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

“Calendar notifications for meetings I didn't accept, notifications that meetings I have accepted were cancelled (when they weren't), calendar being disconnected without letting me know (so people can't schedule), paid appointments generating duplicate payments (we had to issue refunds via Stripe), or paid appointments not going through.”

Jen M.

CEO

“cost and lack of up front training on how to use software”

SARA B.

ACCOUNTING SUPERVISOR

“There are some things that have felt less than intuitive, but some of it may be that I'm looking for features and settings where my last program had them. ”
