Acuity Schedules Professionals. Orhuk Runs Facilities.
Acuity Scheduling is excellent for coaches, consultants, and solo practitioners managing their own calendar. But if you operate gyms, courts, salons, or rec centers with multiple spaces and staff — Acuity's calendar-per-person model forces workarounds that don't scale.
Why Operators Switch to Orhuk
Space-based scheduling, not person-based
Acuity schedules people and their availability. Orhuk schedules spaces and resources. If you manage courts, studios, treatment rooms, or beds, you need a facility resource model — not a calendar per staff member.
Memberships, class packs, and recurring revenue
Orhuk has built-in membership tiers, class packs, and pre-loaded session credits. Acuity has none. Adding a membership or pack to Acuity requires manual workarounds or third-party integrations that break over time.
Digital waivers with a compliance audit trail
Orhuk collects signed waivers at booking with SHA-256 verification and full audit logs. Acuity has no waiver system — you'll need a separate tool, which means another integration to maintain and another place where signatures can fall through the cracks.
Frequently Asked Questions
- I'm a solo practitioner. Should I switch from Acuity to Orhuk?
- Probably not — Orhuk is over-built for that use case. Acuity is simpler and cheaper if you're booking your own time as a solo practitioner. Orhuk shines when you manage multiple spaces, staff, or memberships.
- Can Orhuk handle the same integrations as Acuity?
- Orhuk integrates with Stripe, QuickBooks, and Zapier. Some Acuity integrations (email tools, CRM) may have Orhuk equivalents or Zapier bridges. Audit your critical Acuity workflows before switching to confirm coverage.
- Can I import my Acuity customers into Orhuk?
- Yes. Export your clients as CSV from Acuity and import into Orhuk. Contact info carries over. Appointment history stays in Acuity's records — you can still reference it there.
- Does Acuity have anything Orhuk is missing?
- Acuity has deeper Squarespace integration and a larger third-party app ecosystem. If you rely on specific Acuity integrations, plan the migration carefully. Most facility operators find Orhuk's built-in membership, waiver, and resource features worth the switch.
- Will I lose bookings or data during the switch?
- No. Run both in parallel during the transition period. Orhuk captures customer info from each new booking automatically. Test thoroughly before shutting Acuity down.
