Riverd vs. Acuity Scheduling

Acuity books anyone.
Riverd is built for you.

Acuity Scheduling is a solid general tool — if you’re a photographer, tutor, or consultant. But if you’re a massage therapist or wellness practitioner, you need SOAP notes, patient history, and clinical documentation. Acuity doesn’t have those. Riverd does.

And Riverd starts at $0/month. Acuity starts at $20.

The feature Acuity will never have

AI SOAP Note Generator

Turn a quick session summary into a fully structured Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan note in seconds. Built for clinical documentation standards — not just intake forms.

Patient Books

Every client gets a full treatment history: past sessions, notes, body map markings, and payment records. The kind of longitudinal record that a general scheduler can't offer.

Session Documentation

Log observations, treatment areas, and outcomes. Lock notes so they can't be accidentally edited. Export as PDF. This is what clinical practice management looks like.

Built only for wellness

Acuity serves photographers, coaches, and tutors. Riverd's entire product — every feature, every workflow — is designed around the needs of massage therapists and wellness practitioners.

“I switched from Acuity because I needed actual clinical documentation, not just booking. Riverd has SOAP notes, session history, everything my practice needs — and it’s completely free to start.”

Common questions

How does Riverd compare to Acuity Scheduling for massage therapists?

Acuity is a general-purpose scheduling tool used by photographers, coaches, and tutors. Riverd is built exclusively for wellness practitioners — with SOAP notes, patient books, body maps, and session documentation built in. Acuity has none of these clinical features.

Is Riverd free compared to Acuity?

Yes. Riverd's base plan is free permanently for up to 20 appointments per month. Acuity starts at $20/month and goes up to $61/month for full features. For a solo massage therapist, Riverd gives you more relevant features at zero cost.

Does Acuity Scheduling have SOAP notes?

No. Acuity Scheduling does not offer SOAP note generation or any clinical documentation. It offers intake forms, but these are general-purpose forms, not structured clinical records. Riverd includes AI-powered SOAP note generation built into every plan.

Can I switch from Acuity Scheduling to Riverd?

Yes. You can export your client list from Acuity and import it into Riverd via CSV. Setup takes under 10 minutes. Your existing clients simply receive a new booking link.
