Acuity books a slot. Lessonluma runs your coaching.
Acuity is a solid appointment scheduler. Coaches also need one balance for three siblings, capped clinics with waitlists, guardian waivers, e-transfer tracking and a way to move a rained-out Saturday in one tap. That's Lessonluma, in CAD, from CA$0.

Acuity Standard is US$34 a month (about CA$47) for packages and text reminders. Lessonluma Solo is CA$19 with both, plus family balances and the rain button.
Acuity is mature and flexible for any appointment business, with intake forms and integrations. If you only sell one-to-one appointments to adults, it may be all you need.
What it fixes.
Packages and text reminders cost US$34 a month on Acuity.
Packs are on the Free plan; text reminders, the rain button and the AI assistant are CA$19 a month on Solo.
A parent with three kids is three clients in a scheduler.
One family, children as profiles, one balance, two parents on the messages.
Canadian students pay by e-transfer, and schedulers don't track it.
Every booking gets a reference code; forward the bank's deposit email and the AI matches it.
Reminders, rainouts and nudges, sent for you.
What your students actually receive, written from your real times, places and prices:
Every text names you and says how to stop. Messages about a minor always copy a parent. Promotions only go to people who said yes.
Rained out? One tap moves everyone.
Tap Rain on a lesson, a clinic or a whole day. Everyone booked gets your next open times or a credit, and their calendar updates. For outdoor places you also get a forecast heads-up the evening before.
Your golf page, from one sentence.
“I teach golf and run junior clinics, CA$95 an hour, a series of 5 for CA$425, junior clinic Saturday 10:00 for 6 kids at CA$45.”
The AI builds your page, lesson types, packs, clinic and places. Change any of it in a sentence or a tap. Starter defaults for golf are below.

Questions coaches ask
Can I move my Acuity clients?
Set up your page in minutes, then send your regulars the new link. Each one books once and is on your Lessonluma list from then on.
Does Lessonluma do intake forms?
Each booking can collect what you need through the waiver and its medical questions, signed once a season. Custom intake forms aren't part of V1.
Does it sync with my calendar?
Bookings send calendar invites, and moved or rained-out lessons update them.
Is it priced in Canadian dollars?
Yes, every plan is in CAD, plus tax.
What does Lessonluma cost?
Free for up to 10 active students (anyone booked in the last 30 days), with cards at 3.9% + CA$0.30 and e-transfer and cash free. Solo is CA$19 a month (CA$190 a year) for unlimited students, text reminders and the rain button, with cards at Stripe's cost. We never take a cut of a lesson.
What happens after the trial, or in the off-season?
Your first 30 days unlock Solo with no card. On day 31 you're back on Free limits unless you pick a plan, and you're never locked out of your students. Off-season, pause for CA$0 for up to 6 months a year: your page, students and credits stay live, and a new booking wakes the plan.
