#5 of 7 in Appointment Scheduling by Overall Score
Acuity Scheduling, owned by Squarespace, provides online appointment booking with customizable availability, intake forms, recurring appointments, classes, packages, subscriptions, and client self-rescheduling. Businesses can accept payments at booking, send automated email and text reminders, embed scheduling into websites, and manage appointments through mobile apps.
Acuity is structured around appointment-based services where a customer may need an intake form, advance payment or a recurring package. Compared with meeting-link utilities designed for sales discovery calls, it places more weight on the booking transaction and client preparation before the session.
