You're looking for the best way to manage your appointments. Both XDULR and Acuity Scheduling (now part of Squarespace Scheduling) are strong contenders, but they represent two different philosophies: a powerful standalone scheduler versus a comprehensive, AI-driven business platform.

Key Differentiators: Why Choose XDULR's Ecosystem?
While Acuity is excellent at customizable scheduling, XDULR is built to run your entire business, consolidating tools that would otherwise require multiple, costly subscriptions.
- The AI Assistant Advantage: XDULR's AI can make and receive calls to book appointments. This means you capture clients who prefer the phone, and our AI can even book with practitioners outside the XDULR network—a service no other platform offers.
- True Business-in-a-Box: With XDULR, you're not just getting a scheduler. You get an AI website builder, the ability to buy and manage domains and business phone numbers, and create unlimited professional email accounts. This eliminates the need for separate hosting, domain registrar, and email providers.
- Smarter Growth Tools: Our AI Demand Forecasting gives you actionable insights to optimize your schedule for peak revenue, a feature that goes far beyond basic booking analytics.
Who is Acuity Scheduling Best For?
Acuity is a strong choice for businesses that need deep customization of their intake forms and class scheduling, and for users who are already heavily invested in the Squarespace ecosystem. If you just need a powerful scheduling widget and handle your website, domain, and email elsewhere, it's a solid option.
The Verdict: Choose XDULR for an All-in-One Growth Platform
If you're looking for a single platform to manage your entire client-facing operation, reduce administrative costs, and leverage cutting-edge AI to grow your business, XDULR is the clear choice. It replaces half a dozen other tools with one intelligent, cohesive system.
