Your strongest leverage is Acuity Scheduling's Acute Reliability & Stability weakness. Booking-page outages, 500 errors, blank login pages, and degraded calendar synchronization can stop clients from booking and affect revenue. Make renewal value contingent on enforceable uptime protections, tested integration performance, and a clear incident-response commitment.
Across 143 customer source records, Acuity Scheduling's highest-pain areas heading into this renewal are Reliability & Stability (82/100).
These are the areas where this vendor's own customers report the most trouble. Higher score means more reported pain.
Reliability failures can directly prevent clients from booking, creating revenue and reputation risk for your business. Use that operational exposure to require concrete service protections and validation before extending the agreement.
Hey @acuity your scheduling page is down. My client is trying to book me and keeps getting errors.

Each question comes from what this vendor's customers report, with what a solid answer sounds like.
Why it mattersReliability & Stability is rated Acute at 82, and reported failures include 500 errors and scheduling pages going down entirely. Lost booking access can directly affect revenue.
What to listen forA solid answer includes documented uptime history, defined service levels, credits or remedies, and a clear process for reporting incidents. A weak answer offers general assurances without measurable commitments.
Why it mattersCustomers report degraded synchronization involving Microsoft 365, and intermittent disconnects from essential tools are part of the reliability concern. Integration testing should confirm that appointments and connections remain dependable in your workflow.
What to listen forLook for a defined test plan, success criteria, monitoring, and escalation steps for failures. Be cautious if the vendor cannot explain how disconnects are detected or resolved.
Why it mattersPricing evidence is limited, but some customers describe the monthly fee as high for solopreneurs and raise concerns about additional fees on direct bookings. The full cost should be clear before renewal.
What to listen forA strong response itemizes subscription, booking-related, and any other applicable fees in writing. A weak response focuses only on the base price or leaves fee conditions unclear.
Why it mattersIsolated customer feedback identifies limited customization without CSS or HTML knowledge. That can add implementation effort or require outside developer help.
What to listen forA useful answer distinguishes no-code options from work requiring technical skills and identifies available support. A weak answer calls customization flexible without showing what can be done without code.
Why it mattersReports include blank login pages, client-facing errors, and booking links that require continuous monitoring. These problems create an immediate operational risk during customer booking.
What to listen forExpect specific monitoring, alerting, incident communication, workaround, and restoration procedures. An evasive answer does not identify who responds or how quickly booking access is restored.
Why it mattersSome customers cite high bundled subscription costs and restrictive, confusing Squarespace integration as reasons to leave. These are practical renewal risks where pricing and terms may be negotiable.
What to listen forA solid answer explains bundle pricing, integration limits, and available flexibility in the commercial arrangement. A weak answer dismisses the concern or cannot clarify what the integration supports.
Unmet needs customers keep raising. Worth a dated commitment, not a verbal one.
Pricing evidence is insufficient for a scored assessment because fewer than 15 records address value. A small number of customers describe the monthly fee as relatively high for solopreneurs and express frustration about additional fees Acuity may collect on direct bookings. Renewal evidence is also insufficient, though isolated customers mention leaving because of high costs and restrictive integrations.
