Scheduling like never before. The shift to efficient scheduling comes with Acuity Scheduling.

I find it really easy to use Acuity Scheduling when am scheduling for meetings whether with work colleagues or with my clients. It is very easy to use and takes less time to schedule especially with the auto scheduling function. Acuity Scheduling has offered me the most impeccable experience i would ever ask for.

Pros

Acuity Scheduling has an auto scheduling feature that makes it easy to schedule for meetings automatically without my intervention. I like how well designed the user interface is and how easy it makes to interact with all the available features. Acuity Scheduling also has automated notifications and reminders that keep me on alert to never forget a scheduled meeting.

Cons

For the long period i have used Acuity Scheduling, i have not come across anything I don't like. All features are outstanding.

Simple and Sleek gets the job done!

Overall, I was very pleased with my experience. The simple and sleek design and interface (both provider- and patient-facing) made it easy for sessions to be booked, charted, and paid for.

Pros

The ease of use on the provider-facing platform. Our patients reported ease with the ability to see all services and to book through the Acuity Scheduling platform.

Cons

The SOAP note capabilities was the only con that I can think of; being able to take thorough notes is crucial for us and the way notes are setup for sessions was a bit time consuming.

Easy to manage your calendar!

Awesome! My calendar gets managed booked without much effort on my part

Pros

Since I implemented Acuity, I no longer have to spend hours a day managing my calendar. Clients can book a call, without all the email back and forth to line up schedules! Ah,.. Acuity sends reminders... no more manual reminding. Saves my focus for more important work that actually serves the clients.

Cons

Managing multiple office locations. Maybe I am doing this correctly and there is an easier way.

Reasons for Switching to Acuity Scheduling

Choosing Acuity Scheduling over alternatives likely came down to its ease of use, especially if simplicity and user-friendly functionality are high priorities for your team or clients. Acuity is known for its intuitive interface, streamlined booking process, and customization options that cater well to small and medium-sized businesses. If there were specific features you found particularly valuable, like seamless calendar integrations or robust client management, those might have tipped the scale in its favor.

Great product for small clinics that need online scheduling and payments options. Highly...

Overall, we had a positive experience with Acuity. The online scheduling platform and the business facing platform were very simple and intuitive to provide a streamlined and clean scheduling and payment solution to the needs of our clinic.

Pros

I really liked how easy the online scheduling was on the provider side and on the client side; it fulfilled all needs of an online scheduling platform. There were many ways for us to customize our session offerings with different durations, staff, and prices.

Cons

I wish there was a better option for HIPAA compliant intake forms and SOAP notetaking; what was available was not very simple to use and follow.

Acuity Scheduling - a great online scheduling tool for many industries.

Overall, the Squarespace Acuity Scheduling system has been a great solution for my team and offers great easy service for our clients.

Pros

Acuity Scheduling is a great online scheduling system for many industries and verticals. It enables a robust platform that integrates directly with the Squarespace website to make online scheduling, payments, automation, and more possible.

Cons

Acuity Scheduling is on time-based events, so it's not a solution for multi-day events, industries like hotels, and bed and breakfasts. Acuity data does not transfer into the Squarespace Contacts system either - or sync with the email marketing platform from Squarespace.

Makes Appointments Easy

Nothing but good things to say about Acuity Scheduling. Great app for planning, booking, updating, scheduling... You name it! I really like the integration with other services to promote your business though software like Instagram or Facebook and how easy it makes it for customers to work with us on them. Great success using this program!

Pros

The communication is top tier. There is a significant decrease in scheduling conflicts. Time management is spectacular. There are real-time availability updates, which is nice. Booking appointments is made easy along with rescheduling or updating them.

Cons

The pricing is a little off just because you have to pay more for what you need but then receive far too much more than needed. There is no middle ground. Also there are some scheduling limits. Other than that all can be overcome and/or worked through.

Superb Calendar Management

It has been super easy to use as it's integrated with my SquareSpace website.

Pros

The things I like most are the ability to set up multiple calendars to control when people are booking into my calendar and how many time slots for each different kind of meeting I can plan a day! My calendar manages itself!

Cons

I've had problems with people getting the confirmation emails and not adding the event to their calendar, as it doesn't automatically create an event for the meeting with the recipient.

Acuity Scheduling: Easy to Use, Limited Payment Options

I was very pleased with Acuity Scheduling overall. Its integration with my Square Space website was seamless and efficient, making it a convenient tool for managing appointments.There is also the possibility to integrate with many apps for branding and marketing like Mailchimp.

Positive Aspects:

Easy Integration: The integration with Square Space was a major plus. It simplified the appointment booking process for both me and my clients.
User-Friendly Interface: The platform was intuitive and easy to navigate, making it a pleasure to use.
Negative Aspect:

Limited Payment Options: I was disappointed that I couldn't charge patients the full price upfront when booking an appointment. The deposit-only option was restrictive for my business needs.
Suggestion:

To enhance the platform, I would recommend adding the option to charge patients the full amount at the time of booking. This would provide more flexibility for businesses and potentially increase revenue.

Overall, I found Acuity Scheduling to be a valuable tool for managing appointments. However, the limitation regarding full price payments is a significant drawback that should be addressed.

Pros

Easy to set up and integrated with my website- through Squarespace

Cons

Was not able to charge patients upfront. I started cash based practice and in order for patients to book, they were required to pay upfront

Worst experience ever. Do

Worst experience we could have possibly had. We use acuity for our photography studio and had been running smoothly for 12 months. Then out of the blue we noticed we had been logged out of the platform and we couldn’t log back in. Lo and behold our account had been completely wiped. We had no access to bookings, client details nor could we receive new bookings. Support were woeful and we have been going round in circles trying to regain access. This was no fault of our own, a complete mystery yet they don’t seem to understand that we are quite literally losing thousands of dollars in business from this!!! It’s infuriating- oh and every support message is from a different person and they are so slow to respond even though they state they have support 24hrs! There’s no end in sight to this. An awful experience

Pros

Nothing. We’ve had the most stressful, upsetting experience.

Cons

How after 12 months our account just randomly, with no explanation or reason was wiped. We lost everything. All of our bookings, client data, ability to make new bookings. Thousands of dollars was lost and it was a truly infuriating experience. Support is advertised as 24 hours but I can tell you it’s not!! Takes around 12 hours to get an email reply and this is the only way to contact them. Awful awful awful

Acuity is so easy to navigate for a first timer!

It's been an easy experience to get meetings scheduled and send out meeting links. I also love the hands-off approach I can take for adding meetings without manually doing so.

Pros

I enjoyed the simple UI of the application. For a user with little to no knowledge of a scheduling platform, it is extremely easy to navigate.

Cons

I do not like the fact that it stands out so much on the page. I feel the scheduler should feel cohesive with the website and not so much an external source. It would be nice to have the scheduler integrated in the site and not open up in a new window, which drives traffic away from the site.
