Squarespace-owned scheduling priced by number of calendars. A side-by-side that's honest about where each one wins.
Acuity Scheduling pricing is set by bookable calendar, so a growing team moves from Starter (1 calendar) to Standard (6) to Premium (36), and text reminders start only on Standard. Twizzlo is online booking and appointment scheduling software priced per business: Twizzlo Free is $0 a month for up to 150 bookings, without SMS, and Business Pro is $29.99 a month per business for unlimited bookings and 50 SMS a month. Both Twizzlo plans include unlimited staff and locations. Below: every Acuity tier, the cheapest plan with text reminders and a cost calculator.

Pricing should be compared in the same market and billing period. A monthly equivalent on an annual commitment is not the same payment schedule as a monthly plan. Promotional prices, optional acquisition fees and transaction charges are identified separately. Acuity plan prices, calendar limits and the Standard SMS/waitlist/packages/memberships/gift-certificate facts were read on Acuity's own US pricing page on 16 September 2026. Twizzlo figures come from Twizzlo plans and usage fees. Branding, API, custom CSS, HIPAA BAA, form and time-zone details were not part of this check; confirm them in Acuity's plan documentation.
Acuity Scheduling payment processing: Acuity does not process payments itself; your payment provider's charges are separate.
Notable paid add-ons
- SMS reminders: Standard plan (USD27/mo equivalent billed annually, USD34/mo monthly) or higher
- Seven or more bookable calendars: Premium plan (USD49/mo equivalent billed annually, USD61/mo monthly)
- Squarespace website: billed separately from the Acuity subscription
Beyond the sticker price: what you pay extra for
Card payments and tips
Twizzlo: Online prepaid bookings and tips through Stripe: your Stripe rate plus a 1.5% Twizzlo platform fee.
Acuity Scheduling: Acuity does not process payments itself. Payment-provider charges are separate; confirm the supported provider, payment method and account rate in the current Acuity and provider terms.
SMS text reminders
Twizzlo: 50 messages a month included on Business Pro, then $0.03 each. Not available on Free.
Acuity Scheduling: Standard (USD27 annual equivalent, USD34 monthly) or higher. Not available on Starter.
Seven or more bookable calendars
Twizzlo: Unlimited staff and locations; Free booking and SMS limits still apply.
Acuity Scheduling: Acuity Premium supports up to 36 calendars; Standard supports up to six.
Squarespace website
Twizzlo: Not applicable
Acuity Scheduling: Billed separately from the Acuity subscription
Acuity plan prices, calendar limits and the Standard SMS, waitlist, packages, memberships and gift-certificate facts were read on Acuity's US pricing page on September 16, 2026. Also confirm with Acuity which tier removes Acuity branding and whether a HIPAA BAA is available.
Twizzlo pricing
Twizzlo payments: On both Twizzlo plans, online payments carry your Stripe processing rate plus a 1.5% Twizzlo platform fee. Clients can pay and tip online through Stripe, prepaid bookings charge the full service price, and staff can record manual payments. See Twizzlo plans and payment costs.
Is Squarespace Scheduling the same as Acuity Scheduling?
Yes. Squarespace owns Acuity, and the product has been sold under both names, which is why searches for Squarespace Scheduling pricing return Acuity's plans. The prices are the same three tiers shown above.
The part that catches people out is billing. An Acuity subscription is separate from a Squarespace website subscription. Adding scheduling to a Squarespace site means paying for both, so budget for the site plan and the Acuity plan as two line items rather than one.
Is Acuity Scheduling priced per user?
No. Acuity's plans are capped by number of bookable calendars: one on Starter, six on Standard, thirty-six on Premium. A calendar is not interchangeable with a staff seat, so count the calendars your booking setup actually needs rather than your headcount.
That has two consequences. A business that needs two calendars is on Standard at USD27 per month equivalent billed annually, or USD34 with monthly billing, rather than Starter. A seventh calendar runs past the Standard cap and requires Premium at USD49 or USD61. Twizzlo publishes unlimited staff and locations on both of its plans, with Business Pro at USD29.99 per business; its booking, SMS and payment conditions are set out below.
See how that works as salon scheduling software built for a full team.
The cheapest Acuity plan with text reminders
Standard is the first Acuity plan with SMS reminders, so the entry price for a business that wants automated texts is USD27 per month equivalent on an annual commitment or USD34 with monthly billing, not the USD16 headline. Starter sends email reminders only.
Twizzlo includes 50 texts a month on Business Pro and charges $0.03 for each one after that. The Free plan sends no texts at all. If you are weighing whether the upgrade pays for itself, here is what automated reminders actually do to no-shows.
How Acuity's pricing compares with the rest
Acuity bills by bookable calendar: 1 on Starter, 6 on Standard and 36 on Premium. Square Appointments prices paid plans per location, and Twizzlo Business Pro is one flat $29.99 a month per business, whatever your staff or location count. Before you compare prices, check each tool's billing unit and which tier carries SMS reminders.

How much does Acuity Scheduling really cost vs Twizzlo?
Compare the subscription and usage charges separately. Your total depends on billing term, calendar count, SMS use and payment charges. If a required fee or billing condition is unknown, this page will not display a complete-cost winner.
Your business
Subscription subtotals update aboveAcuity's plans cap bookable calendars: 1 on Starter, 6 on Standard, 36 on Premium. A calendar is not the same unit as a staff seat. Twizzlo's subscription does not change with this number.
Acuity is priced by bookable calendar, not per location. It publishes no separate per-location price, so confirm with Acuity how extra locations map to calendars on your account.
Options that change the Acuity Scheduling price
What else changes the Acuity Scheduling subtotal
- Acuity's tiers cap bookable calendars at 1, 6 and 36. A seventh calendar requires Premium; more than 36 is not covered by a published plan, so Acuity shows a custom quote here.
- Additional locations, Enterprise terms and any provider, branding or compliance requirement are unknown inputs. They are not treated as zero.
- Unlimited bookings
- 50 SMS/mo included, then $0.03
- No per-seat or per-feature fees
On both plans, online payments carry your Stripe processing rate plus a 1.5% Twizzlo platform fee.
Cost components to compare separately. Amounts are shown only where a published figure applies to a selected input; unknown charges are named, not estimated or set to zero.
Subscription
Acuity Scheduling: $20, $34 or $61 per month with monthly billing, or $16, $27 or $49 per month equivalent on a twelve-month commitment, for Starter, Standard and Premium. Read on acuityscheduling.com/pricing, 16 September 2026. Selected inputs give a subscription subtotal of $34.00 per month.
Twizzlo: $29.99 per month per business on Business Pro; $0 on Free, capped at 150 bookings a month. Staff, locations and client records are not charged per unit on either plan.
SMS text messages
Acuity Scheduling: SMS reminders start on Standard. Acuity publishes no separate per-message price at the tiers reviewed, so no amount is shown.
Twizzlo: Business Pro includes 50 SMS a month, then $0.03 each. Free sends no SMS. No amount is shown because monthly message volume is not an input here.
Payment processing
Acuity Scheduling: Acuity does not process payments itself. Payment-provider charges are separate and depend on your provider, payment method and account rate. No amount is shown.
Twizzlo: Stripe's own processing charges apply and are set by your Stripe account, not published here. No amount is shown.
Twizzlo platform fee
Acuity Scheduling: Not applicable.
Twizzlo: 1.5% on online payments, on top of Stripe processing. No amount is shown because card volume is not an input here.
Other quote-dependent costs
Acuity Scheduling: Additional locations, Enterprise terms, branding removal, a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement and any integration or automation requirement are unknown until you confirm them with Acuity. Unknown is not zero.
Twizzlo: A Squarespace website subscription has no Twizzlo equivalent. Any specialist form, e-signature, calendar-sync or automation requirement is not established here and must be confirmed before switching.
This is an incomplete cost comparison. The figures above are subscription subtotals only: Acuity at $20/$34/$61 per month with monthly billing or $16/$27/$49 per month equivalent on an annual commitment, and Twizzlo Business Pro at $29.99 per month per business. Calendar caps of 1, 6 and 36 set the required Acuity tier. SMS use, payment processing, the 1.5% Twizzlo platform fee and quote-dependent costs are listed separately and are not added into any total.
Subscription figures are each provider's published US monthly prices (billed monthly), verified September 16, 2026. Feature sets differ between the two products, so this page does not claim parity. Providers may update pricing at any time, so always confirm on their site.
Twizzlo covers online booking, email reminders (plus SMS on Business Pro), client records, staff schedules and shifts, and Stripe payments and tips. Before you switch, list the Acuity features you rely on, such as intake forms, group scheduling or the Squarespace integration, and check each one against Twizzlo's features page.
If Acuity is not the right fit either way, the other Acuity Scheduling alternatives are worth a look.
How to evaluate a switch from Acuity Scheduling
Before switching, list the booking, payment and client-record workflows you use today. Check each one against Twizzlo's documented features and plan limits. Confirm whether your existing records can be exported and imported before transferring data. Test a booking, reminder, cancellation and payment in the supported workflow before moving real appointments.
Do not assume Acuity intake forms, email sequences or integrations will carry into Twizzlo. Verify a replacement for each required workflow before moving your appointments.
For the payment test, evaluate online prepaid bookings and tips through the supported Stripe flow.
Work through Twizzlo's documented capabilities to verify the required features before you move any appointments.
What you get, what you give up
Where Acuity Scheduling shines
- Calendar-based plans, unlimited services and appointments, and email reminders; Standard adds SMS, waitlist, packages, memberships and gift certificates
- Documented Squarespace integration
- Documented custom client intake forms
- Premium supports up to 36 bookable calendars on one subscription
Where Acuity Scheduling users hit friction
- No free plan, only a 7-day trial (Acuity pricing page)
- SMS reminders start on Standard (USD27 annual equivalent, USD34 monthly), not on Starter
- Tiers cap bookable calendars (1 / 6 / 36), so a seventh calendar requires Premium
- Acuity does not process payments itself; payment-provider charges are separate and depend on your provider and account terms
- Annual equivalent prices require a twelve-month commitment
Twizzlo advantages vs Acuity Scheduling
- One flat $29.99 a month per business on Business Pro: adding staff or locations never raises it
- Unlimited bookings on Business Pro, and unlimited staff, locations and client records on both plans
- A Free plan that never expires, for up to 150 bookings a month, where Acuity offers only a 7-day trial
- 50 SMS reminders a month included on Business Pro, then $0.03 each, where Acuity needs Standard for any SMS
Business Pro includes every Twizzlo feature, with no paid modules or add-ons.
Your calendar count and reminder tier fit Acuity's published plans, you want the Squarespace integration or Acuity's intake forms, or you only need one calendar and accept a twelve-month commitment for the lowest subscription. Confirm branding, compliance, group-scheduling and automation requirements in Acuity's current plan documentation.
You want one subscription per business that does not change with staff or location count, and Twizzlo's documented booking, client-record and online payment workflow covers what you need.
Acuity Scheduling pricing FAQs
How much does Acuity Scheduling cost?
Acuity Scheduling costs $16, $27 or $49 per month on annual billing, and $20, $34 or $61 per month if you pay month to month. Those are the Starter, Standard and Premium plans. There is no free plan. The only free access is a 7-day trial, and Acuity does not ask for a card to start it.
Does Acuity Scheduling cost money, or is there a free version?
Acuity charges from the first day after the trial ends. Every plan is paid and Acuity's own pricing page lists no free tier. If a permanent free plan matters more than the feature set, Twizzlo's Free plan covers 150 bookings a month with unlimited staff and locations, though it sends no text messages.
What are Acuity Scheduling's plans and what does each one include?
Starter supports one calendar, Standard six and Premium 36. All three reviewed plans include unlimited services and appointments and email reminders. Standard adds SMS reminders, waitlist, packages, memberships and gift certificates. Confirm any additional integration, branding, form or specialist compliance requirement in Acuity's current plan documentation.
Is Squarespace Scheduling the same as Acuity Scheduling?
Yes. Squarespace owns Acuity and the product has been sold under both names, so a search for Squarespace Scheduling pricing returns the same three plans at the same three prices. The subscription is billed separately from a Squarespace website plan, so running scheduling on a Squarespace site means paying for two subscriptions rather than one.
Is Acuity Scheduling priced per user?
No. Acuity's plans are capped by number of bookable calendars rather than staff seats: one on Starter, six on Standard and 36 on Premium. A calendar is not interchangeable with a staff seat, so count the calendars your booking setup needs. A business that needs two calendars is on Standard rather than Starter.
What is the cheapest Acuity plan with text reminders?
Standard. SMS reminders do not appear on Starter, so the entry price for a business that wants automated texts is USD27 per month equivalent on an annual commitment or USD34 with monthly billing, not the USD16 headline. Starter sends email reminders only. Twizzlo includes 50 texts a month on Business Pro, then charges $0.03 for each one.
Does Acuity Scheduling charge payment processing fees?
Acuity does not process payments itself. Card charges come from the payment provider you connect, at that provider's rate, and they are separate from the Acuity subscription.
How much does annual billing actually save on Acuity?
At the reviewed US prices, Starter is USD192 per year with annual billing versus USD240 over twelve monthly payments, a USD48 difference. Standard is USD324 versus USD408, a USD84 difference. Premium is USD588 versus USD732, a USD144 difference. These compare subscription payments only; annual billing involves an annual commitment and excludes payment-provider charges.
