Questions to ask Acuity Scheduling before you sign

  • Which plan includes SAML SSO, and what does it cost for our seat count?
  • Is SCIM provisioning included, or a paid add-on?
  • Which plan includes audit logs, and how long are they kept?
  • Where is our data stored, and can we choose the region?
  • Can we sign your standard DPA without changes?
  • What will the price be at renewal, and is the increase capped?

Questions are listed where Acuity Scheduling's public pages leave the answer open.

Who Acuity Scheduling is for

Choose Acuity Scheduling if

  • Service businesses (coaches, salons, consultants) booking client appointments.
  • Solo operators who price by calendar rather than seat.

Look elsewhere if

  • Large teams needing SSO or SCIM (not mentioned on pricing page)
  • Sales teams wanting round-robin routing.
