Novacal and Acuity Scheduling are both appointment scheduling platforms that help businesses automate bookings. While Acuity Scheduling has been a popular choice for years, Novacal offers a modern, more affordable alternative with simpler, flatter pricing. Novacal is built for individuals, freelancers, and small teams who need powerful scheduling without complexity or high costs. Unlike Acuity Scheduling, which spreads its features across four paid tiers, Novacal keeps it to two plans, so there is far less to work out before you start.

Try it nowThe biggest difference between Novacal and Acuity Scheduling is pricing philosophy. Acuity Scheduling's cheapest plan starts at $16/month, and accessing advanced features requires upgrading to higher tiers across four different paid plans, making it difficult to choose the right option. Novacal offers transparent, simple pricing with two plans, starting from just $8/month billed yearly for Pro. No four-tier maze, and no pressure to upgrade for core scheduling.
