Acuity Scheduling
In short
In 30 seconds.
Acuity fits if …
you work in English, you plan around intake forms, packages and several payment providers, and paying for a year up front suits you.
terminio.ai fits if …
you and your customers speak German, you want reminders to go out by WhatsApp, and people sometimes just ring instead of booking online.
The biggest difference
Language and channel. Acuity is a mature scheduler, but the product, the app and support are English only; terminio.ai is German, with WhatsApp from your own number and a phone assistant.
Features
