Melanie E
Owner
4.0

Melanie E.: Hi, my name is Melanie. I am the owner. My business is small, and I give Mindbody a four out of five. Prior to Mindbody, the software that I was using took a lot more time. It was tedious, and, to be honest, it was quite manual. I chose Mindbody because I've heard a lot about it, and a lot of people told me it was a good software to use. So word-of-mouth is everything. Using Mindbody was a little difficult at first, but I was able to manage and power through by looking up different ways that I could find the information without being stuck and alone finding it myself. If you are considering getting Mindbody, just make sure you do your research, so that you know exactly what you're looking for, and you know exactly what you're going to get. If you do not know what features you want, then it's going to be really hard to narrow down the benefits of a new software.

Matthew S
CPA
5.0

Matthew: My name is Matthew. I'm a CPA from Strat Associates, and I give Acuity five out of five. We use Bookedin first, and we switched away from that because they kept increasing the price and it got a little too expensive, and I researched probably 10 other options before I went with Acuity. I chose Acuity because it had capabilities to connect with my Outlook calendar, so I could have everything show up in both spots, and then I could also have our clients schedule appointments directly from our website. Onboarding is very easy to get going. It was a little bit of hiccup with some of the app integrations that they had, but we were able to get going with their customer support agents. I would say for what we use it for, it works perfectly and I'd highly recommend giving it a try at least.
