Acuity is a solid booking tool. But if you also want to sell gift cards, run a loyalty program, and send email campaigns, you need separate tools for each. Shopolo combines all of that in one platform at a similar price.
Pricing sourced from public Acuity Scheduling and Shopolo plan pages. Subject to change.
Acuity Scheduling is built for bookings only. There is no way to sell gift cards through Acuity. If you want to sell appointment packages or experience gift cards — the most popular gift for service businesses — you need a completely separate platform. Shopolo handles booking and gift cards under the same storefront link.
There is no stamp card, points system, or loyalty reward mechanism in Acuity. Shopolo's loyalty program is built in — clients earn rewards for every visit automatically, tracked in the same dashboard as their bookings and gift card history.
Acuity gives you a booking link. Shopolo gives you a branded storefront at shopolo.app/your-business that shows your services, gift cards, loyalty balance, menu, and booking options in one place. Customers who come to book can also buy a gift card for a friend — in the same visit.
Acuity is a strong choice if appointment scheduling is your only need — especially if you require sophisticated intake forms, deep calendar integrations (Google, iCal, Outlook), and a wide range of booking rules. If gift cards and loyalty are not part of your business model, Acuity's lower entry price is attractive. Shopolo is the better fit when you want booking, gift cards, and loyalty from one platform.
No hardware. No setup fees. Loyalty, bookings, gift cards, and ordering — live in under 10 minutes.
