Looking for an Acuity Scheduling alternative?

Acuity (part of Squarespace) is one of the most capable scheduling platforms around: intake forms, packages, gift certificates, calendar sync, payment processing — a deep toolbox, offered on paid plans.

That depth is Acuity’s strength and its weight. If what you actually use is “clients book my services into my real availability,” you’re configuring — and paying for — capability you don’t need. Reservy is the light version of that job, free.

When Reservy is the better fit

You want booking running today, not after an afternoon in settings.
Your services are straightforward: name, price, duration — no intake forms or packages.
You want $0 software cost while you grow.
You want the day-schedule view of a front desk, with walk-ins and phone bookings beside online ones.
You track earnings simply: what came in today, this week, this month.

When Acuity Scheduling may fit better

You need intake forms, packages, memberships, or gift certificates.
You want card payments collected at booking time.
You’re on Squarespace and want scheduling embedded in your site.

We’d rather you pick the right tool than the loudest pitch — features and pricing above reflect Acuity Scheduling’s publicly listed plans and may change; check their site for current details.

Frequently asked questions

What does Acuity cost vs Reservy?

Acuity is subscription software with tiered monthly plans (pricing on their site). Reservy is free — the schedule, booking page, team schedules, client list, and earnings view, with no card required.

Does Reservy have intake forms?

No — by design. Bookings capture the essentials: service, time, name, phone. Businesses that need detailed intake usually send their form after the booking confirmation. If forms are central to your flow, Acuity handles them natively.

Is Reservy too simple for a growing business?

Reservy scales along the dimension that matters most for service businesses — more staff, each with their own schedule and services, at no cost. What it deliberately skips is configurability, which is precisely what makes it fast to run.

Try the simpler option — it’s free

Reservy is free. Set up your booking page and your day schedule in the next ten minutes.
