Acuity Scheduling vs Microsoft Bookings in a nutshell

Acuity Scheduling is a feature-rich appointment booking tool popular with service-based businesses. It offers customizable booking forms, payment collection, and Zapier integrations. However, it has no free plan — you must pay from day one after a 7-day trial — and team features require more expensive plans.

Microsoft Bookings is an appointment scheduling tool available with eligible Microsoft 365 plans. It supports personal and shared booking pages, staff/services, and Teams-based online meetings. It is best suited to organizations already standardized on Microsoft 365.
