What you give up vs Acuity Scheduling

  • categorySlug is 'scheduling' but Fider is a feedback/voting tool; replaces options are limited to scheduling slugs in the ref
  • No roadmap visualisation or timeline planning built in
  • Integrations with Jira, Linear, or Slack require custom webhooks
  • No in-app surveys or NPS measurement

What you gain

  • • Full data ownership — self-host Fider on your own infrastructure.
  • • No per-seat SaaS bill (Acuity Scheduling: monthly subscriptions per calendar).
  • • Open-source code you can audit and extend (MIT).
