Our verdict

Acuity, owned by Squarespace, goes a step beyond simple booking links with client intake forms and payment collection at booking — features service providers like therapists and photographers actually need. There's no free plan, but $16/mo on annual billing is reasonable for what's included. If you just need a scheduling link, Calendly's free tier may be enough instead.

Frequently asked questions

Does Acuity Scheduling have a free plan?

No — Acuity starts at $16/mo on annual billing with no free tier. If cost is the priority, Calendly and Square Appointments both offer free plans, though without Acuity's intake forms.

Is Acuity good for therapists?

Yes — Acuity is a popular choice for therapists because client intake forms and payment collection are built into the booking flow, reducing paperwork before sessions. It's also widely used by salons, photographers, and tutors.

Who owns Acuity Scheduling?

Acuity is owned by Squarespace, which acquired it in 2019. It integrates naturally with Squarespace websites but works fine as a standalone scheduling tool too.
