Comparison
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, for a flat 10 USD a month.

Frequently asked questions
What does Acuity cost vs Reservy?
Acuity is subscription software with tiered monthly plans (pricing on their site). Reservy is a flat 10 USD a month with everything included — the schedule, booking page, team schedules, client list and earnings view, unlimited services, no per-staff charge and no commission — and you can try it free for 3 days, 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 extra cost. What it deliberately skips is configurability, which is precisely what makes it fast to run.
