Acuity vs DoTreat

Looking for an appointment scheduling app that helps you book clients, accept payments, collect intake forms, and reduce no-shows? Acuity Scheduling by Squarespace is the all-in-one scheduling software for service-based businesses.

No extra tools required. • COLLECT CLIENT INTAKE FORMS BEFORE APPOINTMENTS Need a booking system with intake forms? Acuity lets you attach customizable intake forms to every booking so clients can complete questionnaires, consent forms, waivers, and health history forms before they arrive.
