Our Verdict
Acuity offers paid service-business scheduling from $16/month billed annually for one bookable calendar. Standard includes up to six calendars for $27/month annually, so it should not be compared as if it charges that amount per staff member. SchedulingKit Free is capped at one member, one event type and 50 monthly bookings; six SchedulingKit Pro seats cost $96/month annually or $120 monthly. Compare the clinical, intake, payment and team features you need instead of assuming equivalent coverage or lower team cost. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your team size, budget, and which integrations you rely on daily. Testing each platform with a free trial before committing to an annual contract is the most reliable way to evaluate fit.
