Business relies heavily on appointment setting; however, back-and-forth scheduling zaps productivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online appointment scheduling software automates the process of scheduling meetings, eliminating the back and forth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two popular scheduling applications include GReminders and Acuity Scheduling. So how do they differ? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acuity Scheduling Features<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Acuity Scheduling is scheduling software that focuses on appointment scheduling and pre-payment of services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Acuity<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Above is a typical online calendar created using Acuity Scheduling. Clients access the calendar directly on Acuity Scheduling\u2019s site or embed it on their own website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reminders<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users may send up to three email reminders and one SMS reminder prior to an appointment. They may also receive a notification once appointments are booked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Integration<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acuity Scheduling syncs with existing calendars such as \u2013 Outlook, Cloud, and Google Calendar and integrates with CRMs, video conferencing, email, analytics, accounting, and online payment software. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A separate Zapier account may be required to integrate with some applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GReminders Features<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

GReminders is easy-to-use scheduling software that delivers personalized email, SMS, and Phone reminders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

*As of 2022, GReminders also allows for pre-payment of services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Your<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Above represents a typical calendar created using GReminders. Clients choose a date and time and the appointment appears on the user’s Google or Outlook calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reminders<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GReminders, as the name implies, is a robust reminder system. Not only does it allow for email and SMS text reminders, but the user can also send voice reminders as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users configure the software to send as many reminders as needed, beginning with an initial appointment confirmation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reminder SMS messages and emails are sent anytime prior to an appointment, from a year in advance to a few seconds before the meeting is scheduled to begin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automated follow-up SMS text messages thanking clients, reminding them to schedule follow-up meetings or asking for reviews are also available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Completely independent of client reminders are Personal Reminders. Users have a wide array of options to remind themselves of upcoming events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Integrations<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GReminders integrates with Google Calendar, Outlook\/Outlook 365, Zoom, GoToMeeting, Google Meet, Webex, Microsoft Teams, Skype, and now Stripe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key differences between GReminders and Acuity Scheduling<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"GReminders-Acuity
*Based on an annual purchase in the U.S.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Both applications provide automated client scheduling but with a different focus. Acuity Scheduling focuses on the appointment setting process, including pre-payments while GReminders focuses on reminding clients of their appointments, with the goal of significantly reducing no-shows. *As of 2022, GReminders also allows for pre-payments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Service is another very important difference. Acuity Scheduling provides only group training and email support while GReminders offers every user personalized, one-on-one training to successfully reduce no-shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
