Why Massage Therapists Leave Acuity Scheduling

No free tier unlike Calendly
SMS messaging fees add up
Squarespace integration can be restrictive
Calendar limits force upgrades
Higher cost than alternatives
I found the integration with Squarespace restrictive, and the scheduler options were confusing initially, then limited.

Why This Matters for Massage Therapists

You have 6 clients today, back-to-back 60-minute sessions with 15-minute buffers. Your 11am bought a 5-pack and you think this is session 4 — but did she use one as a gift for her mom? Your 2pm is a new client with a shoulder injury who needs an intake form and health history review. You're changing sheets, checking notes, and resetting the room in 15 minutes between every session. Mindbody charges you $139/month and half the features are for yoga class management you'll never use.

Massage Therapists face unique challenges: Mindbody costs $139+/month for features designed for yoga studios and gyms. Managing package sessions and gift certificate tracking. SOAP notes and client health history documentation. Back-to-back scheduling without buffer time leads to burnout. On top of all that, Acuity Scheduling charges $33/month ($396/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median massage therapist earns $49,000/year. Software at $396/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

Your Massage table (portable and/or stationary) is yours. You bought it once. Nexa works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.
