Acuity Scheduling or Schedl: compare depth with a narrower booking tool.
Acuity offers a broad scheduling feature set and Squarespace integration. Schedl offers a narrower service-booking setup with industry-specific examples and owner approval.
Short answer
Acuity is the broader choice for packages, forms, and Squarespace integration. Schedl is narrower and centers owner approval, service appointments, and a branded client page.
Choose by the work the product needs to support.
Both products may be a good choice. Compare your booking model, payment needs, client acquisition, and daily operations.

Questions before you switch.
Will I lose my Squarespace integration?+
Keep your Squarespace site and link a booking button to your Schedl portal. Schedl is not a native Squarespace scheduling add-on.
What about my Acuity client list?+
Export your Acuity contacts as CSV, then use Schedl's client importer to map and preview name, phone, email, and notes. Appointments and historical records are not imported, so preserve those separately before closing the old account.
Does Schedl do packages and memberships like Acuity?+
Schedl does not take booking payments or sell packages. If deposits, recurring billing, or packages are central to your workflow, Acuity is the safer pick.
What does Schedl cost vs Acuity?+
