Acuity is a full scheduling platform priced by the number of staff calendars. Amabrik's Booking widget is a cleaner embedded booking calendar that syncs with Google Calendar and Microsoft 365, flat-priced by sites, and it comes with nine other website widgets and two scanners on one bill.
A clean embedded booking widget priced by sites, plus a website toolkit, against a full per-staff scheduling platform.
Acuity meters by bookable staff calendars: $20/mo for one calendar, up to $61/mo for up to 36. Adding staff forces a higher tier. Amabrik is flat: $29/mo for one site, $59/mo for ten, $159/mo for fifty. Your booking widget costs the same whether one person or a team takes the appointments.
Acuity is a standalone scheduler. Amabrik's Booking is one of ten widgets on a single snippet: cookie consent, banner, popup, forms, AI chatbot, reviews, social feeds, social proof, bookings, and a chat button, plus a Security scan and an SEO/AEO scan. One bill covers all of it.
Connect Google Calendar or Microsoft 365 and the widget reads your busy times, so visitors only book open slots, and it auto-creates the event with a Meet or Teams link. It embeds on any platform: WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, custom, and AI-built sites.
Acuity only lets you remove its branding on the top Premium tier ($61/mo, $49 annual). Amabrik shows no logo or link on your widgets on any plan, including the entry $29/mo Starter.
Every Amabrik widget, Booking included, has per-language booking text, a language switcher in the editor, and the loader serves each visitor's resolved language. Full right-to-left support is built in for Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian audiences.
Acuity adds built-in payments and deposits (Stripe, Square, PayPal), packages, memberships, gift certificates, and group classes. Amabrik's Booking skips all of that to stay a clean embedded calendar. Most sites just need visitors to grab an open slot, and for that Amabrik is the better choice, flat priced and bundled with nine other widgets.

Acuity's price climbs as you add staff calendars (1, up to 6, up to 36). Amabrik stays flat per site no matter how many people take appointments, and the booking widget rides along with nine other widgets on the same bill. Payments, packages, and classes are a different, heavier category, but for the embedded booking most sites actually need, Amabrik is the better choice. See Amabrik pricing.
Acuity is a scheduler. Amabrik gives you a booking widget plus nine more widgets and two scanners from one snippet, with no Powered-by badge.
For most sites, Amabrik is the better choice. If you mainly want to embed a booking calendar that syncs your availability, and you also want cookie consent, popups, forms, and other widgets, Amabrik covers all of it at a flat price. Acuity adds built-in payments, packages, memberships, gift certificates, and group classes, which is a heavier scheduling category. Even then, the booking most sites need is the open-slot calendar Amabrik does cleanly.
For a single calendar, Acuity starts at $20/mo ($16 annual) and Amabrik's Starter is $29/mo ($23 annual). But Acuity's price climbs as you add staff calendars (up to $34/mo for six, $61/mo for thirty-six), while Amabrik stays flat per site and includes nine other widgets plus two scanners. For a team or for multiple widgets, Amabrik is usually the cheaper total.
No. Acuity takes payments and deposits at booking through Stripe, Square, and PayPal. Amabrik's Booking widget does not process payments, by design, so it stays a clean embedded calendar. Collecting payment at booking is a different, heavier category. For the open-slot booking most sites need, Amabrik is the better choice and it bundles nine other widgets.
No. Packages, memberships, subscriptions, gift certificates, and group classes are Acuity features (on the Standard tier and above). Amabrik's Booking is a simpler embedded scheduling widget on purpose. Those belong to a heavier scheduling category, but for the embedded open-slot booking most sites need, Amabrik is the better choice at a flat price.
Yes. Amabrik's Booking widget embeds on any site with one snippet: WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, custom builds, and AI-built sites from Lovable, v0, Bolt, Cursor, and Framer.
Yes. Connect Google Calendar or Microsoft 365 and the widget reads your busy times so visitors only see and book open slots, then it auto-creates the event with a Meet or Teams link. That keeps your real calendar and the booking widget in agreement.
Neither Acuity nor Amabrik has a permanent free plan. Both offer a 7-day free trial with no credit card. Amabrik's trial includes all ten widgets and both scanners, so you can test the Booking widget alongside the rest before paying.
Switch if you want a clean embedded booking calendar without per-staff pricing, and you also want the rest of a website toolkit (cookie consent, popups, forms, chatbot, reviews) on one bill. Payments, packages, memberships, and classes are a different, heavier category, but for the everyday booking most sites need, Amabrik is the better choice and far less to manage.
No. Amabrik shows no logo or link on your widgets on any plan, including the $29/mo Starter. Acuity only lets you remove its branding on the top Premium tier ($61/mo, $49 annual).
Yes. Every Amabrik widget has per-language text and a language switcher in the editor, and the loader serves each visitor's resolved language. Full right-to-left support is built in for Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian.
Amabrik is not a CRM and never stores leads. Submissions from the forms and email-capture widgets are forwarded straight to your own connected CRM, email tool, or webhook the moment they land. The only visitor data Amabrik stores is cookie-consent records for GDPR.
