How Acuity Scheduling and Carrd compare

Acuity Scheduling is built for businesses that live by the appointment. Client self-booking, calendar sync, intake forms, automated reminders, packages and memberships, gift certificates, payments at booking, and multiple staff calendars keep a salon, clinic, or coach running. It is part of Squarespace and works with or without a Squarespace site.

Carrd is intentionally small. One-page sites, responsive by default, with forms, embeds, and payment buttons on Pro, for a price that is low. When you need a landing page, a profile, or a coming-soon page today, Carrd could be the right tool.
