A free Acuity Scheduling alternative built for lessons
Acuity Scheduling is a solid, general-purpose booking tool used by everyone from consultants to salons. Coaches often start there — and then add a spreadsheet for lesson packs and another app for video feedback.
ProField is built only for lessons, so packs, cancellation cutoffs and lesson notes are part of the core app, and it is free to use.

What you get
- Lesson packs that count themselves — Issue count-based packs (e.g. 10 lessons) or period passes. One lesson is deducted with each booking, and you can see who is running low or about to expire.
- Slow-motion video & photo feedback — Record or upload a lesson clip, slow it down, draw lines, curves and circles, and send it straight to your student’s app. Every note is kept per session.
- Your cancellation rules, enforced — Set your own cancel/reschedule cutoff (for example, the day before). Coaches and students get booking reminders and push notifications.
- Self-booking — Open your available hours (including recurring weekly slots and days off) and students pick a time themselves. No more back-and-forth messages to find a slot.

How much does ProField cost?
It is free to use. The BASIC plan is free, and PREMIUM is also free after a short application inside the app. Students never pay to use the app.
Does ProField take a cut of my lesson fees?
No. ProField does not process lesson payments — your students pay you directly, the way they already do, so there is no commission.
Is ProField only for golf?
No. It was built by a golf pro, but it works for any 1:1 or small-group lessons — tennis, Pilates, yoga, personal training, music and more.
