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 may fit
- 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 don't need a fully branded native mobile app
- APAC / Asia-market studios needing built-in multi-locale support
Acuity Scheduling may fit
- 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 and rental management — 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?
Bookjor is a web-based booking experience that works well on mobile browsers — there is no white-label native iOS or Android app under your studio name. Acuity has standard iOS and Android apps with Acuity/Squarespace branding. If you need a fully branded native app, that's a Mariana Tek strength, not a Bookjor one.
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.
Could I migrate from Acuity Scheduling to Bookjor?
Yes. We can help with initial setup and migration to ensure a seamless transition.
