I’m an ex styleseat user of 7 years. It took me so long to make the switch. I switched to acuity because of how clean & professional it looks, the deposit feature & being able to create a description before booking. I’m not mad at acuity at all , however I miss styleseat because they really thought of a lot of the important things on the back end that I didn’t realize were important until I switched.
Ex: email marketing (they have email marketing so you can send emails, campaigns, newsletters to your clients anytime.)
- they send out reminders up until the day of
-offer automatic checkouts
-they fill your last minute cancellations/no shows
-the review feature is crazy! & there’s a directory so ppl can find you more the more reviews you have..
Why I didn’t stay if they had all of that? Lol idk, I thought the grass was greener. Lol no but seriously acuity isn’t bad, I love the simplicity of booking & the look & feel of the site. So clean & I love the intake forms, classes, & adding employees.
If styleseat added those features before acuity changes I would go back. If acuity changes before styleseat cleaned up a bit I would stay.
Overall: Acuity is for the established w/ existing clientele & basic booking needs.
Styleseat is great for growing businesses looking to increase clientele.
To each is own! Both great sites
