You’ve come to the right place if you’re looking for an Acuity Scheduling alternative.

Maybe Squarespace bought Acuity and now you’re being pushed toward a bundle you don’t need. Maybe the price jumped and you’re questioning whether $16/month for a booking page is actually worth it. Or maybe you just opened Acuity’s interface for the first time and thought: “Why does this feel so complicated?”

Whatever brought you here, we’ll show TimeTuna is the answer.

What’s wrong with Acuity Scheduling

Let’s be honest about what frustrates you.

It’s expensive. At $16/month for the basic plan, Acuity is one of the pricier scheduling tools on the market. And that’s before you realize the features you actually want, like removing Acuity’s branding, are locked behind higher tiers.

It’s owned by Squarespace now. If you’re not already a Squarespace customer, that acquisition means nothing good for you. The product roadmap is now driven by Squarespace’s priorities, not yours.

The interface feels heavy. Acuity has been around since 2006. That history shows. There are settings buried inside settings. New users regularly report feeling overwhelmed on their first day.

The booking pages look dated. For a tool that’s supposed to represent your brand to potential clients, Acuity’s booking pages look like they were designed in 2014. Clean, sure. But generic. Forgettable.

Customer support is slow. Plenty of users report waiting days for replies to basic questions. For a tool this central to how you run your business, that’s not good enough. (Spoiler alter: TimeTuna’s founders answer questions directly, within minutes or hours)

What you actually need from a scheduling tool

Strip it back. What does a scheduling tool actually need to do?

Let clients book a time with you. Send them a reminder so they show up. Sync with your calendar to avoid double-bookings. Look good enough that clients trust you before the call even starts.

That’s it. Everything else is noise.

Acuity charges you $16/month and buries the simple stuff under layers of complexity. TimeTuna charges you nothing and gets you live in under 60 seconds. Try it here now.

How smooth does this look?

Imagine this would be your booking page? You can set up something similar within 60 seconds.

Who is TimeTuna for?

TimeTuna was built for one specific type of person: someone whose personal brand is their business.

Designers who sell taste for a living but send clients to a plain white Calendly page. Photographers with an immaculate Instagram and a forgettable booking link. Coaches who know that trust is built before the first word is spoken. Freelancers competing against agencies and needing every touchpoint to count. Founders where every first impression, from investors, to hires, and partners, goes through their calendar link.

What all these people have in common is that how they show up online directly affects how much work they get and what they can charge for it.

TimeTuna is for that person.

Not for the 50-person sales team that needs complex lead routing and CRM integrations. Not for the medical practice that needs HIPAA compliance. Not for someone who genuinely doesn’t care what their booking page looks like.

For everyone else, the creative, the consultant, the coach, the founder, the freelancer, TimeTuna gives you something no other scheduling tool prioritizes: a booking page you’re proud to send.
