User Testimonials
	Skyward CRM	vCita
Likelihood to Recommend	Skyward Techno Inc No answers on this topic	vcita It makes client communication extremely easy - we can message and schedule online appointments. Clients really like those options. We also like the online payment portal. That way clients can pay at their convenience, and we don't end up with credit card information that requires PCI compliance. It also helps with payments. It would also help with invoicing, but unfortunately, there are only 3 linked payment options (Square, Stripe, and PayPal). If you don't use one of those payment processors, you cannot link to billing. Incentivized WN William Niffen Partner Read full review
Pros	Skyward Techno Inc No answers on this topic	vcita Great for online appointment bookings. Good for taking payments. Good for onboarding new clients. Integrates with your website. Integrates with Facebook Pages. Incentivized David Cook Owner Read full review
Cons	Skyward Techno Inc No answers on this topic	vcita Payment collection: We want to have an option to allow clients to choose the amount they wish to pay. Improved ease of use with forms. Incentivized John Stroud Senior Coach Read full review
Usability	Skyward Techno Inc No answers on this topic	vcita Overall - easy to use. There are some missing features (like fillable pdf forms), and it also requires using certain credit card processors to link billing (otherwise it doesn't work). Incentivized WN William Niffen Partner Read full review
Support Rating	Skyward Techno Inc No answers on this topic	vcita I do miss the days when I could easily call up a rep and talk to them about any issues I had with the service. But I still do hear back from the customer service rep during the week within 24 hours. Incentivized Samuel Reynolds Chief consultant Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Skyward Techno Inc No answers on this topic	vcita I liked vCita a lot more for my home services company mainly because it handled scheduling through the software which was terrific. Incentivized Christopher Cater Training Specialist Read full review
Return on Investment	Skyward Techno Inc No answers on this topic	vcita I have no clue I'm assuming that we would not have people making appointments with us if we didn't have this service Incentivized Denise Deem Marketing and Business Development Manager Read full review
