### "Robust Scheduling Platform with Great Built In Integrations"

December 16, 2025

4.0

Acuity filled the scheduling gap where we needed it. As we grew the business, it provided us with quick wins in standing up a new business model that required dynamic scheduling across multiple platforms including M365, Postgresql and Retool. It provided a high level of visibility into daily schedules.

Pros

Acuity Scheduling integrated well into the process and tools we were using. Combined with low-code/no-code platforms, Acuity was flexible enough to support a multi-user environment, requiring minimal administrative functions.

Cons

Integration and Configuration did take longer than we had expected, but once the processes were fully mapped and we understood the interactions between Acuity, Retool, Outlook and our Postgresql backend, it became very easy to manage. The only real issue that we ran into is the inability for an Admin to manage the actual configurations for the end-users. Acuity requires that the end user participate in the connection between Outlook and Acuity. It's not a horribly difficult process, but would have been much more streamline had the Acuity Admin been able to execute the entire process on his own.

Reason for choosing Acuity Scheduling

Acuity was chosen because of the flexibility and integration with other systems, as well as ease of use. We needed to operational in a short period of time.

### "Great value for the cost"

September 2, 2025

5.0

Very satisfied with this software and since it easily combines with our scheduling and client list, it's wonderful.

Pros

Great scheduling software. Once you've learned the system it is quick and easy to view, make changes, or adjust schedules. Makes scheduling and booking a breeze along with there is great customer support in case there are questions. Has more features than most scheduling softwares.

Cons

Acuity makes scheduling my team so much easier. No more messy spreadsheets or texting everyone back and forth. I just set the times, and my employees can grab their shifts. It sends out reminders too, so nobody forgets. Super simple and saves me a ton of time.

### "Great meeting scheduler"

February 13, 2026

5.0

I have found acuity to be a very helpful and useful tool for scheduling zoom calls with mentees throughout the last few years.

Pros

Very convenient to use for both myself and my mentees who are scheduling calls with me for the Modern Classrooms Project.

Cons

It took some time initially to sync calendars and change time zones, but the fact that it was possible to use different time zones was helpful.

### "Don't recommend if you plan to grow. "

March 14, 2025

2.0

I feel like its ok for a small 1-3 person company. It would be a waste of money for larger ones. Memberships were a headache. Learning it on your own is not fun.

Pros

Easy booking for clients, but the downside is that since clients don't have to create a log in, they will end up booking under multiple accounts using their different emails.

Cons

YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN. NO PHONE SUPPORT. Not ideal for larger companies who want to do subscription memberships, it's very limiting and messy. They only do POS with Square or Stripe which have super high CC processing fees.

### "Simple and Sleek gets the job done!"

March 10, 2025

5.0

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.

Practice fusion was too "clunky" and slow. The scheduling capabilities were very limited as well.

### "Great scheduling platform"

May 7, 2025

5.0

Pretty easy to use, stores client data and clients dont mind using it. I like that i have different payment processing set up.

Pros

The ability to easily set up different appointment times and that it saves client information. Also stores all group class info.

Cons

That it changed the email confirmation that goes to customers where you cant easily add it to your calendar. Now you have to download the appointment to add to your calender.

### "Acuity Scheduling Review"

February 27, 2026

4.0

Overall, my experience has been very positive. It streamlined my scheduling process and gave clients a smooth, self service booking experience.

Pros

You can set availability, buffers, intake forms, and automated reminders, which makes everything feel organized and professional. The automatic confirmations and reminder emails were especially helpful for reducing no shows.

Cons

The setup can feel a little confusing at first, especially when you’re configuring different appointment types or setting rules around availability. Some of the more advanced features are not immediately intuitive.

### " Scheduling headaches gone, more time to actually run the business"

March 17, 2026

4.0

Pros

The automation. Confirmation emails, reminders, follow-ups — all handled without us lifting a finger. Clients book directly from our availability, payments can be collected upfront, and intake forms are built right into the booking flow. It replaced three separate tools for us.

Cons

The interface feels dated compared to newer competitors. Customizing the booking page beyond the basics requires more effort than it should. And if you have a more complex multi-staff setup, the logic around calendar management can get confusing quickly.

Pros

I really valued the convenience of it being on my website and the integration with my calendar and squarespace.

Pros

Good personalization functions for what I need for my scheduling. I like that I can both have people sign up or I can plug in appointments myself.
