Checks all my boxes

I’m managing my time for multiple groups of needs and Acuity is allowing me to do that all in one place. I can manage my personal needs, my life coaching needs, and my nonprofit needs all in one place and still keep my hair (because I haven’t pulled it out trying to keep myself afloat). I look forward to continuing to use the software as it has room for me to expand and handle other needs that I foresee in the future. For me, Acuity is a great one stop shop to manage and connect people to the services provide.

Pros

I switched from Calendly because I was having people make appointments at the last minute and back to back. I really appreciate that Acuity has functionality to account for my preferences in both situations.

I really enjoy the ability to personalize my different scheduling links since I set up scheduling for a few different scenarios. I tend to use the specific appointment type scheduling link, which is great to have separated from the overall link so that there is no confusion in booking.

There is so much other functionality that I haven’t had a chance to use yet link the intake forms and billing, but I’m looking forward to using it.

Also, I really enjoy the emails and correspondence that I’ve had with organization. I haven’t even submitted a help ticket, but every email is funny and engaging and it feels like someone is personally attending to me!

Cons

I had a little bit of confusion with the set up of my calendars. It took some searching to figure out how to combine all my appointments to one calendar. All in all I figured it out and still love my account.

Alternatives Considered

Calendly

Reasons for Choosing Acuity Scheduling

The ability to add buffer time between meetings and to disable the ability for a last minute meeting to be scheduled overnight without giving me time to prepare for it.

Calendly

Reasons for Switching to Acuity Scheduling

The ability to add buffer time between meetings and to disable the ability for a last minute meeting to be scheduled overnight without giving me time to prepare for it. In addition, I use Squarespace as well. I love that product and wanted to maintain fluidity between both products. Both are made well and make my life simple so I can do what is most important to me rather than spending all my time on designing a website or figuring out scheduling.

Great for staying organized with appointments

The ability to specify your availability and provide a link to a client via email or a signature is fantastic. It fulfills my requirements for class registration and roll management perfectly. Also, it works flawlessly and is beautifully linked with other services like Stripe and Zoom.

Pros

Both I and my customer appreciate the text message reminders. The schedules that require payment. Furthermore, I appreciate being able to sync my CRM with several scheduling options. Appointment kinds help me categorize my replies and create more efficient, tailored work flows.

Cons

My list of dislikes is surprisingly short. My main issue is that I keep leaving Acuity Scheduling to try something else, but I always end up back here because my CRM doesn't have nearly as many capabilities as Acuity Scheduling.

Good for basic needs

I used Acuity for a more than 5 years to manage my schedule and offer online booking to clients as a holistic health provider. It was very affordable, and covered my needs for a long time. However, when I wanted to get digital session notes, Acuity doesn't really have an option that works for me (though they do have the option for basic notes and forms). I decided to upgrade to another software that is a more integrated client management system. If you don't have very complicated needs, Acuity is great and very user friendly. I'm certain having it helped my business for a very long time.

Pros

It was easy to use. Session reminders really kept attendance high for clients. It was also very affordable and covered my essential needs for a long time.

Cons

I needed digital session notes, and better forms. I eventually switched to a more comprehensive client management software geared towards health professionals.

Actual Acuity

Pros

My company is fairly new using the application. The application is perfect for creating a tour itinerary for touring. It enables me too create different schedules distinctly for each individual artist.

Cons

I haven't ran across any of the bugs yet. I will let you know.

The Bee's Knees in Scheduling!

Acuity truly exceeded my expectations. Its ease of use, quality, features, functionality, customer service, and ease of deployment are all superb. This platform is a game-changer for any scheduling needs. I highly recommend Acuity for anyone seeking a reliable and efficient scheduling solution.

Pros

Acuity's ease of use is simply unparalleled! The intuitive interface makes scheduling a breeze, while its top-notch quality ensures a seamless experience. The array of features and functionality available is mind-blowing, allowing me to tailor the platform to fit my needs perfectly. The exceptional customer service team always goes the extra mile.

Cons

Although Acuity is worth every penny, I would have appreciated a slightly better value for money. However, considering the stellar overall experience, this is a minor concern.
