Acuity Scheduling vs YouCanBookMe
Priced at four team sizes, the features checked against both pricing pages.
Take Acuity Scheduling if you want service bookings with staff and deposits, payment at booking and classes and groups. Take YouCanBookMe if you want a free plan that works, the least to set up and growing into a large team. YouCanBookMe is cheaper at a small user count and Acuity Scheduling is cheaper by 2 users, so the answer changes with your size.
