A real booking website without locking every dollar to Square
Square Appointments is fine if you already live inside Square POS. What it is not: a multi-page studio website you can grow. And the book is married to Square payments. Hacado gives you a branded site - and you can still take Square, or Stripe, or PayPal.
Website depth
Multi-page builder: about, gallery, FAQ, gift cards, policies, your domain.
Website depth
A booking page - a thin marketing surface, not a site you grow into.
Payment lock-in
Square, Stripe, or PayPal. The book is not married to one processor.

Square-native. The appointment stack assumes Square money.
Brand
Clients see you, not a processor’s appointment skin.

Feels like Square Appointments first, your studio second.
When Hacado wins
