Acuity Scheduling

Scheduling with packages, intake forms and payment built in — a better fit than Calendly when you sell blocks of sessions rather than single calls.

What it is

Appointment scheduling for service businesses: multiple appointment types, session packages and memberships, intake forms attached to the booking, and payment taken at the time of booking.

Best for

Coaches selling ten-session blocks. Acuity can hold the package balance and decrement it as sessions are booked, which otherwise lives in a spreadsheet you forget to update.

Watch out for

No free tier, and the configuration surface is large — appointment types, packages, forms and availability rules interact in ways that take an afternoon to get right.

Card and subscription payments with no monthly fee — the standard way to take recurring coaching payments without chasing bank transfers.

PaidSoftware

Circle

Software

Community software for running a paid group off social media — spaces, threads, events and courses under your own branding rather than a Facebook group.
