How is this different from Acuity Standard at $34?+
Acuity Standard covers booking, deposits, packs, and memberships. What it does not cover: conditional-logic intake forms (Acuity intake is flat-fields only) and automatic late-cancel or no-show fees. Junocal Starter at $15 covers both — and comes in $19/month cheaper than Acuity, while typically replacing a separate Jotform subscription and the manual time you spend chasing cancellation fees one at a time. For teachers without those needs, Acuity Standard is genuinely fine.
Can I charge different deposits for different session types?+
Yes. Deposit policy is per service. Set $40 deposit for a 60-minute reformer private, $25 for a 30-minute mat session, $0 for a free initial consultation. Junocal charges the configured amount at booking and applies it against the session total. There is no studio-wide deposit setting that you have to work around per service.
What if a client argues about a late-cancel fee?+
The booking confirmation she received included the cancellation policy in plain text. When Junocal charges the fee, it logs the action and references the policy version that was active when she booked. You can show her the booking confirmation in two clicks. Most disagreements end at that point. For genuine edge cases (genuine emergencies, illness), you can refund the fee with one click and the client gets an email letting them know.
Can I run packs and 1:1 deposits in the same system?+
Yes. A client with pack credits can still book a session that requires a deposit. Junocal handles the math: the deposit is charged at booking, the pack credit deducts at session completion, the client gets a confirmation showing both. This is the case Acuity does not handle cleanly without manual intervention.
How quickly can I be live?+
Most solo teachers are live in 3 to 5 days. The bottleneck is rebuilding your intake form (an hour, maybe two) and configuring your services with the right deposits and policies (another hour). Importing your existing client list from CSV is a five-minute job. We do not require a sales call or a setup fee.
