Acuity is the right choice if you need advanced scheduling customization — intake forms, memberships, gift certificates, or HIPAA compliance. It's genuinely excellent at booking. NSuite is purpose-built for solo service professionals who want booking, invoicing, and client management in one place — and who need a permanent free plan to get started without a credit card.
What You're Actually Paying For
Acuity's Starter tier ($20/mo) doesn't include text reminders, memberships, or gift certificates — you need Standard ($34/mo) just to text a client their appointment time. NSuite includes automated reminders on every plan, including Free.
| What You Need | Acuity Scheduling | NSuite Solo |
|---|---|---|
| Starter tier (1 calendar, no reminders/memberships/gift certificates) | $20/mo | ✅ Included in Free — $0 |
| Text/SMS reminders + memberships + gift certificates | Standard: $34/mo | ✅ Included — Starter $19/mo |
| HIPAA compliance + remove "Powered by Acuity" branding | Premium: $61/mo | ✅ No branding on any NSuite plan |
| Native Stripe/Square/PayPal payments | Included — all tiers | ✅ Native — Starter/Pro |
| Client invoicing | ✗ Not available | ✅ Included — all paid plans |
| Free plan, no credit card | ✗ 7-day trial only, no ongoing free tier | ✅ Free forever |
| Total / month (to unlock reminders + memberships) | $34/mo | $19/mo |
| Total / year | $408/yr | $228/yr |
Think about it this way:Acuity charges $408/year to unlock reminders and memberships most solo operators need on day one. NSuite Starter includes them for $228/year — and reminders alone are free, forever, on NSuite's Free plan.
Acuity prices shown are monthly-billing rates as of August 2026; paying annually lowers them to $16/mo (Starter), $27/mo (Standard), and $49/mo (Premium). Stripe/Square/PayPal processing fees apply on both platforms and are not included above. Verify at acuityscheduling.com/pricing
Worried about switching?
“"What happens to my two years of client history?"”
Export your Acuity client list and import it to NSuite in minutes. Your booking history stays in Acuity until those appointments pass — no data loss, no gap.
“"Will my clients be confused by a new booking link?"”
Your NSuite booking page works exactly like your Acuity link — clients pick a service, choose a time, and submit their info. Just update the link in your Instagram bio or email signature. They won't notice the difference.
“"What if I decide NSuite isn't right for me?"”
NSuite has no annual contract. Cancel month-to-month, anytime, from your billing page. Upgrade within 30 days and don't love it? Full refund, no questions asked.
“I used Acuity for two years and loved the booking page — but I was still emailing PDFs to get paid and manually logging clients in Google Sheets. NSuite replaced all three. My booking link, invoices, and client history are in one tab. The migration took one afternoon and my clients didn't notice a thing.”
