Overview

Acuity Scheduling is an online appointment booking platform that gives businesses a branded scheduling page clients can use to book appointments at any time. Founded in 2006, it was acquired by Squarespace in 2019 and now operates as part of the Squarespace family of products.

The platform is built for service-based businesses that need to manage bookings, collect payments, and reduce no-shows without manual back-and-forth scheduling.

Key Features

Acuity provides customizable booking pages, custom client intake forms, calendar sync to prevent double-booking, and payment processing via Stripe, Square, or PayPal.

It also includes no-show prevention through deposits and cancellation policies, staff and multi-location scheduling, and revenue features like packages, memberships, subscriptions, gift certificates, and coupons.

Pricing

Acuity offers three paid plans: Starter at $16/month, Standard at $27/month, and Premium at $49/month (annual billing; monthly billing costs more). Higher tiers add more calendars, text reminders, membership/package sales, HIPAA compliance, branding removal, and API access. Every plan includes a short free trial with no credit card required.
