Acuity Is Powerful — but It Doesn't Speak LINE
Acuity is a great scheduler for Western SMBs. But if your clients use LINE, you need a Chinese UI, and you'd rather not jump to US$34 for SMS or US$61 for API — Dolyu covers all of it at a single US$15, all features included.
This page compares Dolyu and Acuity Scheduling on pricing, core features, and fit. Dolyu costs US$15/month flat, integrates deeply with LINE, requires no app download for customers, and supports appointment-based businesses of all kinds with monthly billing and no contract.

What sets Dolyu apart

Acuity centers on email/SMS with no LINE integration. Dolyu integrates deeply with LINE Official Account — booking, reminders, and rich menu in one — with open rates far above email.

Four Revenue Reports — Run on Data
Acuity's reports lean toward booking stats. Dolyu gives revenue, service profitability, staff, and client dimensions to guide pricing, scheduling, and marketing.
One US$15 Price, No Feature Tiers
Acuity locks SMS to US$34 and API/timezones to US$61. Dolyu is US$15/person/month with everything included — no upgrading a whole plan for one feature.
Dolyu vs Acuity Scheduling: Which one is right for you?
For Western online audiences that need many integrations and API access, Acuity is a mature choice. But if your clients use LINE, you want a Chinese UI, and you'd rather not upgrade plans for SMS or API, Dolyu is US$15/person/month all-in, 14-day trial, live in 5 minutes — trying it beats any comparison.
Dolyu vs Acuity Scheduling
More questions? Contact us — real people reply.
Dolyu is built for Taiwan/Asia appointment businesses with native LINE integration, Chinese UI, client CRM, member points, and four revenue reports — all at US$15. Acuity is a Western scheduler: solid, but no LINE, English-first, with SMS, API, and timezones locked behind higher tiers.
No. Acuity centers on email; SMS requires Standard or above, and there's no LINE Official Account integration. If your clients mainly use LINE, Dolyu's native LINE integration is the key difference.
If your clients use LINE and you need a Chinese UI and local client management, choose Dolyu. If you serve Western online clients and need many integrations and API access, Acuity fits. Try Dolyu free for 14 days first.
Acuity has no free plan — just a 7-day trial, paid from US$20/mo. Dolyu offers a 14-day free trial with full features — LINE, CRM, reports included — at US$15/person/month, no contract.

夯客 Hotcake
Hotcake is built around LINE booking with a NT$0 starter plan and 3,000+ brands on board. Booking happens inside LINE — there's no independent branded booking page, and customer data stays inside the LINE ecosystem. Dolyu is US$15/person/month and provides a standalone branded booking page (with portfolio display), portable CRM customer data, and four-dimension analytics — LINE can change its rules, but your customer data and booking flow always stay yours.
Freetime
Freetime at NT$300/month is great value and handles day-to-day booking well. But once you want to build a brand image, understand which services earn the most, and retain high-value clients, you'll find its portfolio page, operational reports, and client management are all fairly basic. Dolyu costs about NT$180 more per month and adds a branded portfolio page, four-dimension reports, and client CRM all at once — the extra cost is an investment in growing your business.
SayDou 神美
SayDou's NT$330/person/month all-inclusive plan looks great long-term — but the first year requires a NT$5,000 setup fee, meaning you've paid for over a year before you even start. Dolyu is US$15/person/month (about NT$480) with zero setup fee — decide today, go live today, and continue after a 14-day trial if you like it.
QLiEER 客立樂
QLiEER uses annual tiered plans (Seedling from NT$950/month, billed annually), targeting beauty chain stores with POS hardware integration and staff payroll management. Dolyu is US$15/person/month (approx. NT$480), monthly billing, no contract, with core appointment management, reports, and branded page all included — suited to solo operators through small studios.
17FIT
17FIT uses annual contracts with custom pricing — no publicly listed monthly fee, minimum one year, no refunds. It has a consumer app for client discovery, POS, and payroll management, suited to mid-to-large venues with scale. Dolyu is US$15/person/month, pricing publicly listed, monthly billing, no contract, 14-day free trial, core features live in 5 minutes.
BeautinQ 美業歐巴
BeautinQ uses a modular plan structure with a 100-order/month cap on the starter plan. Advanced features like AI CRM, prepaid wallet, and interactive marketing require add-on modules, and pricing requires a sales consultation. Dolyu is US$15/person/month — pricing publicly listed, unlimited orders, all core features included, self-serve setup in 5 minutes.
BookNow 預約系統
BookNow offers four plans starting at NT$399, tiered by monthly booking volume, including e-vouchers, payroll calculation, and Google Calendar sync. Each plan has a monthly booking cap — the lowest plan allows 1,000 bookings — and you'll need to upgrade if you hit the ceiling in peak season. Dolyu is US$15/person/month (approx. NT$480) with no booking limit and four-dimension reports and branded page all included.
樂創約
Onlinebooking.tw has a free plan (30 LINE new bookings/month) and an advanced plan at NT$399/month, including auto client segmentation and SMS reminders. No portfolio display on the booking page; reports are fairly basic. Dolyu is US$15/person/month with a branded booking page that includes portfolio display and four-dimension reports — flat fee regardless of usage.
Fresha
Fresha uses a transaction commission model: 2.79% + US$0.20 per online payment, 20% commission on Marketplace new client first visits, and advanced features like Loyalty sold separately. No LINE integration, no Traditional Chinese interface, no Chinese-language support. Dolyu is US$15/person/month flat, zero commission, LINE integration, Traditional Chinese, custom timezone, and multi-currency all included.
SimplyBook.me
SimplyBook.me is an international booking platform with a booking-count limit on the free plan and volume-based billing on paid plans. Feature Apps are purchased individually. No LINE integration, Traditional Chinese is machine-translated, no Chinese-language support. Dolyu is US$15/person/month with deep LINE integration, native Traditional Chinese, custom timezone, and multi-currency support.
Calendly
If someone told you "Calendly is a booking system too" — they're not wrong, but it's a different kind of tool. Calendly is for scheduling B2B meetings. Dolyu is for managing clients, sending LINE notifications, and reading four-dimension reports. Once you understand that difference, the choice is straightforward.
Setmore
Setmore's free plan with unlimited seats sounds compelling — until you discover: English-only interface, no LINE integration, and online payment not included in the free plan. Using Setmore in Taiwan means working around problems it was never designed to solve for you. Dolyu is US$15/person/month — Traditional Chinese, LINE push notifications, member points — none of those three friction points from day one.
STORES 予約
STORES 予約 is the booking module of a Japanese all-in-one commerce platform — free to start, 180+ industries, with sibling EC and POS products. It's full-featured, but LINE is via mini-app link (not Official Account rich-menu control), the UI is Japanese-first, and each plan has monthly booking caps with overage fees. For native LINE control, a Chinese UI, and no booking-cap anxiety, Dolyu is more direct.
RESERVA
RESERVA is a feature-rich Japanese cloud booking system covering 350+ industries with finely tiered plans. Coverage is broad, but LINE integration is a +¥3,300/month add-on, the UI is Japanese-first, the free plan opens only 43 of 116 features, and detailed analytics and phone support are locked to higher tiers. For built-in LINE, a Chinese UI, and simpler onboarding, Dolyu is more direct.
SALON BOARD
SALON BOARD is Recruit's salon booking/CRM system. The tool itself is free, but it can't be used alone — it requires a HOT PEPPER Beauty listing contract. It brings Japan's largest beauty acquisition portal, but your booking page sits price-compared against rivals in the portal, bookings via the portal incur a success fee, and both its rate and the listing fee are undisclosed (inquiry required). For an own-branded booking page, freedom from commission, and keeping regulars on your own LINE, Dolyu is a complement or an alternative.
