Acuity Scheduling vs Workganic Schedule
Acuity is the better pick if you need a fully public self-serve booking page. Workganic Schedule wins when appointments should live on the client's CRM timeline.
Two tools that overlap on one feature
Acuity Scheduling, owned by Squarespace since 2019, is one of the most polished appointment-booking products on the market. Its core promise: clients pick a time on a public page, answer your intake questions, and pay — no back-and-forth, no account required. For appointment-based businesses, it is genuinely excellent.
Workganic Schedule is the calendar inside Workganic, a platform built for life insurance agencies — appointments, tasks, and bookings live on one calendar, next to the CRM and the phone system. The whole comparison comes down to one question: do you need a fully public booking page, or a calendar that knows your clients?
What Acuity Scheduling does well
Acuity's client-facing booking pages are the product's reason to exist. Clients self-schedule from a public link, intake forms collect what you need before the meeting, and payments run through Stripe, Square, or PayPal at booking. The Standard plan adds text reminders plus packages, memberships, and gift certificates; Premium adds up to 36 calendars, HIPAA features with BAA signing, and removable Acuity branding.
As of June 2026, pricing runs $20 per month for Starter (one calendar), $34 for Standard (up to six calendars), and $61 for Premium when billed monthly. Annual billing trims roughly 20% — $16, $27, and $49 per month. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial, no credit card required.

What Workganic Schedule does differently
Workganic Schedule treats scheduling as part of the client record, not a separate destination. The calendar shows events, tasks, and bookings together in day, week, and month views. When a schedule item is linked to a client, it flows straight onto the CRM timeline — the appointment sits in the same history as the calls, texts, and policy changes around it.
External sync is built on CalDAV, the open standard your other calendars already speak: the Workganic calendar syncs both ways with your iPhone, Mac, Outlook, or Thunderbird (Professional plan and up) — change an appointment on either side and the other follows — plus read-only feeds any other calendar app can subscribe to. You connect with an app password you can revoke at any time, never your real login. Booking widgets define bookable slots with duration, availability hours, buffer time, and round-robin assignment, and client-facing scheduling ships on the Agency tier.
And the plain part: Workganic does not offer fully public self-serve booking pages today, does not take payments at booking, and has no packages or gift certificates. If a standalone public booking page is the need, Acuity is the right tool today — the same conclusion we reached in our Calendly comparison.
Pricing: a feature against a platform
The price gap reflects scope. Acuity at $16–$61 per month (as of June 2026) is a focused scheduling product. Workganic runs $79–$149 per month for solo plans and $199–$249 per user per month for team plans — but the calendar is one app among eight, alongside the CRM, a phone system with AI call transcription, files, batch tools, and print. Every plan carries a 30-day free trial, and annual billing is 12 months for the price of 10.
Nobody should buy Workganic for scheduling alone — you buy the platform, and the calendar comes with it. Our best calendar for salespeople guide goes deeper, and the pricing page breaks down each tier.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Acuity Scheduling cost in 2026?
As of June 2026, Acuity Scheduling runs $20 per month for Starter, $34 for Standard, and $61 for Premium when billed monthly. Annual billing cuts roughly 20%, landing at $16, $27, and $49 per month. All plans start with a 7-day free trial.
Does Workganic have public booking pages like Acuity?
No. Workganic does not offer fully public self-serve booking pages today. It offers booking widgets with duration, availability, buffers, and round-robin, plus client-facing scheduling on the Agency tier — if a standalone public booking page is the need, Acuity is the better tool.
Can Workganic sync with my iPhone or Outlook calendar?
Yes — from the Professional plan up, Workganic syncs both ways with the calendar on your iPhone, Mac, Outlook, or Thunderbird — changes made on either side show up on the other — plus read-only feeds for any other calendar app. You connect with an app password you can revoke at any time instead of your real login.
Is Acuity Scheduling owned by Squarespace?
Yes. Squarespace acquired Acuity Scheduling in 2019, and it remains Squarespace's appointment-scheduling product. For several years new Squarespace customers saw it branded as Squarespace Scheduling, until Squarespace unified everything under the Acuity name in 2024.
Can I use Acuity Scheduling alongside Workganic?
You can run both, but Workganic does not offer an Acuity integration today — appointments booked in Acuity will not appear on the Workganic calendar or client timeline automatically. Most agencies pick one home for scheduling to avoid double entry.
