Chose vCita
I think only Acuity Scheduling rivals vCita. One weak point for vCita is that the others have a better link for reviews on social media and beyond than vCita.
Chose vCita
vCita is a platform which is still developing and falls short of dedicated CRM platforms in some ways however it shines where it counts for any business wanting to provide more power to their customer to make bookings and manage their profile. Other platforms such as Insightly …
Chose vCita
It's been two years since I looked at other programs, I don't remember them.
Chose vCita
vCita is a much more simple than Zoho. Zoho is a full-blown CRM which we didn't need.
Chose vCita
We were satisfied with TimeTrade and probably wouldn't have made the switch if we were able to integrate with our new Duda website as well as vCita does. They do not offer as many features as vCita, but for scheduling only, they work well and are very affordably priced.
Chose vCita
I liked vCita a lot more for my home services company mainly because it handled scheduling through the software which was terrific.

It makes client communication extremely easy - we can message and schedule online appointments. Clients really like those options. We also like the online payment portal. That way clients can pay at their convenience, and we don't end up with credit card information that requires PCI compliance. It also helps with payments. It would also help with invoicing, but unfortunately, there are only 3 linked payment options (Square, Stripe, and PayPal). If you don't use one of those payment processors, you cannot link to billing.

Overall - easy to use. There are some missing features (like fillable pdf forms), and it also requires using certain credit card processors to link billing (otherwise it doesn't work).

I do miss the days when I could easily call up a rep and talk to them about any issues I had with the service. But I still do hear back from the customer service rep during the week within 24 hours.
