Square Appointments is a polished, easy-to-use booking tool with built-in Square payments, a free tier for solo users, reminders, and a clean client-facing booking page. The catch for therapists: Square does not sign a BAA for Appointments, so it is NOT HIPAA-compliant and should not collect or store protected health information. Many practitioners use it only for non-PHI touchpoints like free consult calls, workshops, or wellness sessions, while keeping clinical booking in a HIPAA-covered tool. Listed because it is widely used and the compliance boundary matters.
