Setmore vs Acuity Scheduling

| Pricing | $12 per user/month billed monthly (Pro) · free tier: Free — $0 per user/month for up to 4 users: unlimited appointments, payments, branded Booking Page, branded mobile app, email reminders and confirmations, integrations, iOS/Android apps, team collaboration, 24/7 human support | USD $16/month billed annually ($20/month monthly) — Starter, 1 calendar · free tier: 7-day free trial on every plan, no credit card required; no free-forever plan listed |
| Pricing model | Freemium subscription, per user per month | Subscription |
| Best for | Solo practitioners and micro-teams of up to four — barbers, tutors, coaches, therapists, tradespeople, small clinics — who need customer-facing booking with payments, want to start free, and value setup speed and low per-seat cost over configurability. | Solo operators and small service teams — salons, coaches, trainers, tutors — that take payment at booking, need one to six calendars, SMS reminders and packages or memberships; a natural fit at the $27/month annual Standard tier, and especially strong for businesses already running a Squarespace website. |
| Avoid if | You depend on flawless two-way Google Calendar or Zoom sync, run group or multi-attendee sessions, need side-by-side multi-staff calendars, require financial or filtered service-level reporting, want conditional workflow automation, or must have published SOC 2/ISO assurance and enterprise admin controls. | You are a healthcare practice unwilling to pay for Premium (no BAA below it), need more than 36 calendars, require API/CSS access or white-labelled branding on a lower tier, have staff spread across multiple time zones, or run your operation primarily from a phone without first stress-testing the mobile app. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
