Acuity Scheduling

Appointment scheduling for service businesses

Squarespace-owned scheduling platform built for service businesses. Flat monthly pricing (not per-seat) — $16/month covers 1 calendar, $27 covers 6, $49 covers 36. Includes built-in payment processing, intake forms, package sales, and client management. No free plan, 7-day trial.

Our take

Acuity's flat-rate model is its killer feature for teams. A clinic with 10 practitioners pays $49/month total — Calendly would charge $100+/month per-seat for the same. Built-in payment processing, packages, subscriptions, and intake forms make it a full client management tool for service businesses. The trade-off is a less polished interface than Calendly and fewer B2B/sales integrations.

Product roadmap

Squarespace ownership has brought stability but limited innovation. Expect tighter Squarespace Commerce integration and improved mobile experience, but no major platform pivots.

Who is Acuity Scheduling for?

Solo(1 person)

Good fit

No free tier is the downside. But $16/month with payment processing beats Calendly Standard + a payment tool for service-based solos.

Small team(2–20 people)

Great fit

Flat-rate pricing is transformative for small service teams. 6 calendars at $27/month is exceptional value for a small clinic, salon, or consultancy.

Mid-size(21–200 people)

Good fit

36 calendars at $49/month scales well for medium service businesses. Works best for appointment-heavy businesses, not general team scheduling.

Large org(201–1,000+)

Poor fit

Acuity tops out at 36 calendars with no enterprise tier. Large organizations need a more scalable scheduling platform.
