Acuity Scheduling costs vs KadePay: plans, fees and usage

How Acuity Scheduling prices the reviewed offering

Compare Starter, Standard, and Premium by calendar count and features. Monthly and annual billing differ. Processor fees remain part of the total even when scheduling includes payment integration.

Pricing model: Tiered scheduling subscription plus processor charges

• Calendars needed for staff and locations
• Packages, subscriptions, SMS, and advanced scheduling tier
• Monthly versus annual commitment
• Payment processor and transaction mix

Build a like-for-like quote

For appointment-based solo providers, wellness practices, educators, and service teams, a useful budget follows the work you actually perform. Ask each provider to price the same staff count, payment channel and required customer tasks. Include the integrations needed for the complete setup, and keep one-time migration work separate from recurring monthly charges.

• Do customers need instant self-booking, or should staff confirm every request?
• How many practitioner or location calendars are required?
• Will clients buy packages, and which plan enables subscriptions and reminders?

Put the KadePay side in the same budget

Choose the applicable KadePay plan and read the complete pricing table. Distinguish terminal and manually entered card rates, appointment usage, session or ticket charges and optional payment methods. Recurring billing and multiple users depend on the plan. Do not compare a card-present rate on one side with an online or manual-entry rate on the other.

If Acuity Scheduling connects to a separate processor, include that processor in its budget. If KadePay uses a processor for your payment setup, include the applicable full payment charges and avoid counting the same charge twice. A software subscription and a transaction processing charge describe different costs.

Your monthly cost worksheet

Before you accept a quote

Confirm the renewal period, location or staff limits, optional add-ons and any migration work. Ask the provider to demonstrate the exact workflow in your quote. An advertised starting price is not a promise that every feature or every payment method is included.
