Acuity compared with self-hosted Easy!Appointments for salons, clinics, tutors and consultants: services, providers and booking pages, intake forms, payments, packages and SMS reminders that Acuity includes and Easy!Appointments needs custom development for, and pricing by calendar against no license fee.
Acuity compared with Cal.diy for solo practitioners: event types, availability and calendar connections, what Cal.diy lacks against Acuity's intake forms, packages and gift certificates, and why Cal.diy's maintainers advise against production use.
Moving a client-booking business from Acuity to Easy!Appointments: re-creating appointment types as services and calendars as providers, carrying over client records and upcoming appointments, replacing intake forms and payment collection, and switching the booking link on the website.
Acuity's plans priced by bookable calendars, with HIPAA, API and branding removal held for Premium, compared with Easy!Appointments: no license fee, PHP hosting, paid installation or customization for payments and SMS, and maintenance.
Acuity signs a HIPAA business associate agreement only on Premium. For therapists, clinics and health services: when running Easy!Appointments in your own HIPAA-covered hosting makes sense, what intake data it should hold, and the safeguards you then own.
