Payments are quickly processed and easily withdrawn. > > **Cons**: That it doesn’t offer enough customization for the scheduling interface. It is very simple, but could easily attract more customers with more customization. > > My business was able to run successfully using only acuity. I was able to separate my classes, clients, and blocked off times with ease, and integrate it into my own calendar. ----- ### "Loved it before" — 3.0/5 > **Melanie** | *11 April 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to schedule appointments within a set of pre-set time options, offering multiple appointment types, customizable question section to assist with appointments > > **Cons**: Acuity Scheduling is no longer a stand alone product that you can use. It is now inaccessible without a paid square space account. > > I used to like Acuity for its plethora of customizations and form-builder for intake questions, but now it is not even available as a stand alone product. It requires you to have a Square Space account to use and operate. ----- ### "The \#1 Scheduling Platform For Small Businesses" — 4.0/5 > **Hannah** | *29 December 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I've used so many different electronic calendars and Acuity is by far one of the best. The weekly schedule viewer simply cannot be compared to other platforms. It is also great to be able to have private notes that can be shared across the team on each booking. > > **Cons**: It is pricey compared to other platforms, but dare I say it's worth it. Also, since Acuity was acquired recently, it makes you re-log into your account like every half hour and it is VERY annoying. This alone has decreased my satisfaction with Acuity significantly. ----- ### "Robust Scheduling Platform with Great Built In Integrations" — 4.0/5 > **Eric** | *16 December 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- Page: 1 / 231\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/116391/acuity-scheduling?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/116391/acuity-scheduling) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
