Acuity Scheduling vs ServiceSprig
Acuity Scheduling, from Squarespace, is a flexible scheduler used by coaches, consultants, tutors and studios, and it sits on a website you already have. ServiceSprig is a newer option that gives you the website and booking page together, with tools for hands-on trades. Here is how they compare, using only what each company publishes.
Acuity Scheduling facts checked on November 5, 2026 from Acuity Scheduling’s own pages, linked below. Prices and features change, so check them before you decide. ServiceSprig prices are proposed until launch on December 8, 2026.
The short answer
Stay with Acuity Scheduling if
- You already have a Squarespace or other website and only need scheduling on it.
- You need to choose your payment processor: Stripe, Square or PayPal.
- You run many calendars or locations: Premium covers up to 36.
- You want text reminders and HIPAA options today (Premium for HIPAA).
ServiceSprig may suit you better if
- You want a website and booking page in one, instead of adding scheduling to a site.
- You work hands-on: walk-ins, pet or vehicle profiles, a service area for mobile work.
- You want a free plan, or a waitlist and packages on Solo ($24.99 a month, proposed), where Acuity puts them on Standard ($34 a month).

Moving from Acuity Scheduling
Bring your clients over with a CSV export from Acuity, uploaded to the ServiceSprig switch-over import. Our importer suggests a match for each column, you check them before anything is saved, and we’ll help if anything doesn’t line up. Set up your services, forms and hours, and point your website’s booking button to your new ServiceSprig booking page.
Past visits don’t import, so keep your old export somewhere safe. Run both apps side by side for a week while your regulars move to the new link.
