What it does
Acuity Scheduling is an online booking system for appointments and classes. The product groups client booking with calendar management, availability controls, payments, invoicing, and client management. It is aimed at service providers such as consultants, wellness professionals, and instructors who want clients to choose an appointment time online.
Set up the services or classes clients can book, decide when each calendar is available, then publish the booking page. Acuity’s official materials list online booking, class scheduling, client management, payments, and calendar controls; the product page links to support and developer resources for setup details.
The pricing page offers a seven-day trial for its paid plans and states that no credit card is needed to start the trial. The displayed plan setup includes a calendar allowance, so a business with several employees or locations should verify the plan’s calendar count and payment features before onboarding clients. No appointment or payment was created during research.
