Hi Kendreya! this is an important question, thank you for raising it. One thing to note is that Acuity's plan is $16 at the lowest level, but it doesn't include any of the following features included in the PocketSuite pricing: - Packages - Text message reminders - Subscriptions/memberships - Gift certificates None of the above are included in the $16 per month Acuity plan. They are in the $27 per month Acuity plan while PocketSuite's $24.99 per month plan includes them all. Best thing to do is download the app completely free and check it out yourself! :) apps.apple.com/us/app/pocketsuite-booking-payments/id721795146
