Why studios switch

Why studios choose Bookjor over Acuity Scheduling

Acuity Scheduling is a solid appointment-based scheduler, but fitness studios need class scheduling, rental management, and a unified calendar — features Acuity wasn't built for.

Free plan to start

Bookjor has a genuine free plan with 25 bookings/month, 2 staff seats, and Stripe payments — no credit card required. Acuity offers only a 7-day trial, after which the minimum is $16/mo. For new studios testing the waters, Bookjor is risk-free.

Class AND appointment booking

Bookjor handles group fitness classes with waitlists, recurring schedules, and capacity management, plus private appointments with provider availability. Acuity is appointment-only — it has no native class booking, which means studios must find a separate tool for group classes.

Room and venue rental management

Bookjor includes room and venue rental management — set hourly pricing, manage availability by room, and collect payments. Acuity has no rental workflows, so studios with rental income need a completely separate system.

Which platform fits your studio?

Bookjor is best for

Independent yoga, pilates, and fitness studios
Studios needing class scheduling + private appointments + room rentals in one platform
New studios wanting a free plan to get started (no credit card)
Studio owners who want a white-label branded mobile app
APAC / Asia-market studios needing built-in multi-locale support

Acuity Scheduling is best for

Solo professionals and small appointment-based businesses
Coaches, consultants, and therapists who only need 1:1 bookings
Squarespace users wanting native one-click integration
Businesses that require HIPAA compliance for client data
Users who need 500+ Zapier integrations to connect with other tools

FAQ

Common questions about Bookjor vs Acuity Scheduling

How does Bookjor pricing compare to Acuity Scheduling?

Bookjor has transparent flat pricing: Free ($0), Pro ($20/mo), Deluxe ($50/mo). Acuity starts at $16/mo (Emerging) and goes up to $49/mo (Powerhouse). Bookjor has a genuine free plan with 25 bookings/month, while Acuity only offers a 7-day trial. At the top tier, Bookjor ($50/mo) and Acuity ($49/mo) are nearly identical, but Bookjor includes class scheduling, rental management, and a white-label app — features Acuity doesn't offer.

Can Bookjor handle group fitness classes?

Yes. Bookjor is built for class-based studios. You can create recurring weekly schedules, set capacity limits, manage waitlists, and handle check-ins — all built-in. Acuity Scheduling is appointment-based and does not have native class scheduling, so studios running group classes would need a separate tool.

Does Bookjor have a mobile app like Acuity?

Yes — and more. Bookjor offers a white-label branded mobile app where your studio name and logo appear in the App Store. Acuity has standard iOS and Android apps with Acuity/Squarespace branding. If you want your clients to see YOUR brand, not someone else's, Bookjor's white-label approach is the difference.

Which platform is better for a new studio just starting out?

Bookjor is designed for studios starting out. The free plan includes 25 bookings/month, 2 staff seats, 1 location, Stripe payments, and a branded booking page — no credit card required. Acuity requires a credit card for its 7-day trial and costs at least $16/mo afterward, making Bookjor the lower-risk choice for new studios.

Can I migrate from Acuity Scheduling to Bookjor?

Yes. Bookjor supports importing your client lists, appointment data, and package information. Since Acuity is month-to-month with no contracts, you can run both platforms in parallel during your transition. The self-serve onboarding means you can set up and start booking the same day.
