4appointments — alternative to Acuity Scheduling
Short answer
4appointments is an Acuity Scheduling alternative for the Romanian market: a Romanian interface, RON pricing, SMS reminders included, and local support. Acuity (part of Squarespace) is very flexible and mature, but it is US-oriented, with USD pricing and usually an extra cost for SMS. 4appointments adds integrated invoicing and CRM from the 4b2b ecosystem.

- Acuity has years of product maturity and a large integration ecosystem.
