  • Acuity: Starter $16/mo, Standard $27/mo, Premium $49/mo annual ($20/$34/$61 monthly). 7-day trial, no credit card.

Positioning

  • Acuity is a general scheduler with flexible per-appointment-type configuration — useful for lash studios with varied service durations (lift vs. full set vs. fill).

Buffer time + per-service durations

Lash appointments need buffer time for prep and turnover.

  • Acuity: per-appointment-type setup with configurable buffers — the most flexible documented option for varied service-duration workflows.
  • GlossGenius: scheduling and calendar features documented; buffer configurability is not prominently marketed.

Reminders

  • Acuity: automated appointment notifications — explicit.
  • GlossGenius: Client Notifications documented as a feature.

Bottom line

GlossGenius if you want a beauty-vertical-native tool at the cheapest documented entry tier. Acuity if you need flexible per-service durations + buffer time + intake forms.
