The 9 closest of 14, each with its real monthly cost at 2 users and what it does that Acuity Scheduling does not. See all 17.
SimplyBook.me does everything we verified about Acuity Scheduling for $16.71 a month less at 2 users, $17.29 against $34. It is a price cut rather than an upgrade: on the two features checked against the vendors’ own pricing pages the two are level. The trade: Acuity Scheduling is built for classes and groups and SimplyBook.me is not, so this is a swap with a cost.
No free plan, no round robin or lead routing on the pricing page, and the calendar caps mean a growing team steps from $34 to $69 a month to get past six staff.

Two features were checked against each vendor's own pricing page: a price that does not move with users and a free plan. Those are the ones written above as does and does not. The other 14 are read out of each vendor's own pricing page, so an absence there means we did not find it listed, not that the product lacks it, and those lines say lists and does not list instead. How all of this gets checked.
This page compares everything to Acuity Scheduling. The shortlist asks 6 questions about what people book with you and how many calendars there are, and gives you four picks priced at your own team size, which is a better question than “what is like the one I already have”.
