Why people look for a Acuity Scheduling alternative
Acuity is an appointment system for businesses that sell time — packages, memberships, gift certificates, point of sale. It does not do round-robin distribution, routing forms or panel interviews.
Plans are priced by calendar count: Starter $16/mo for one calendar, Standard $27/mo for six, Premium $49/mo for thirty-six (annual). Monthly billing is $20, $34 and $61.
Removing 'Powered by Acuity' and API access are Premium-only at $49/mo.

What it costs
What a team actually pays per month
Acuity Scheduling: Standard (6 calendars) / Premium (36), no round-robin. Prices read from Acuity Scheduling's public pricing page, September 2026.
SynqSlot has three prices: Solo at $6/mo, Team 5 at $27/mo flat and Team 10 at $35/mo flat. Every plan includes unlimited booking links and bookings, calendar sync, reminders, the embeddable widget and branding removal. The Team plans add round-robin, routing forms, panel interviews and team insights. There is no per-seat charge and nothing is unlocked by a higher tier. See the pricing page for the full list.
What Acuity Scheduling still does better
- Payments, deposits, packages, memberships and gift certificates through Stripe, Square, PayPal and Venmo.
- Text-message reminders worldwide on Standard and above.
- Class and group scheduling, appointment waitlists, and an AI booking assistant on Premium.
- HIPAA BAA on Premium, and a native mobile app.
- A Squarespace-native booking widget if your site is already on Squarespace.
If any of these are essential to how you work, stay on Acuity Scheduling. A comparison page that says otherwise is not worth your time.
How switching works
- Start the 15-day trial. No card, full product.
- Connect the calendar you use today — Google, Outlook or Apple. Availability is read live; nothing is copied.
- Create your booking links. Most people are done in ten minutes; a team with round-robin and a routing form takes about thirty.
- Swap the link in your email signature, website and outreach templates. Existing Acuity Scheduling bookings keep working because they live on your calendar, not in the tool.
- Cancel Acuity Scheduling when the trial convinces you, not before.
Frequently asked
- Is Acuity Scheduling or SynqSlot better for a sales team?
- SynqSlot. Acuity has no round-robin or routing forms, so leads cannot be distributed across reps automatically. SynqSlot's Team plans do both and sync the meeting to HubSpot or Salesforce.
- Is Acuity better if I sell appointments?
- Yes. If you take payments, sell packages or run classes, Acuity is built for that and SynqSlot does not process payments.
- How do the prices compare?
- Acuity Standard is $27/mo annual for six calendars. SynqSlot Team 5 is $27/mo for five people and includes routing, round-robin, branding removal and CRM sync; Acuity charges $49/mo to remove its branding.
