Who pays Acuity Scheduling's fee — me or my customer?
Acuity Scheduling does not say in its published material, which usually means it is settled in the contract.
Is card processing included?
No. Taking the money is a separate cost, normally around 2.9% + $0.30 an order, and it is charged whoever you use. The figures on this page leave processing out on both sides so the comparison is like for like.
Is there a cheaper alternative to Acuity Scheduling?
That depends on what you actually use it for. Most businesses use a small part of a platform like this — take the money, hold the record, send the confirmation, show the list. That part can be built once and owned, and we price it against your own bill: a tenth of what you pay now, instead of a share of every booking forever. You keep the code and the data, and the old system keeps running beside it until the new one is proven.
