BOOKIN AND TIMELY

A Timely alternative with a free plan

Timely has a 14-day trial, then Run starts from £4 a week, Boost from £7 and Thrive from £9. The weekly price goes up and down with the number of bookings you take. Every plan includes your whole team and text reminders, with no new-client fees. Online payments cost 1.85% + 30p.

Bookin has a free plan with no clock running, a flat £20 a year for Basic, and £10 a month for a whole team on Super, however busy you are.

Timely's pricing page doesn't mention VAT. Super Basic isn't VAT registered, so our prices are the full price. Timely's details checked on 8 November 2026 from its own pages, listed at the bottom of this page. Prices change, so check before you choose.

WHERE WE DIFFER

Why people move from Timely.

  • A free plan, not a 14-day trial
  • A flat price that doesn't rise with your bookings
  • Card payments on your own Stripe or SumUp, with nothing added by us

WHEN TIMELY SUITS BETTERYour clients need text reminders. Bookin sends reminders by email.

MOVING ACROSS

Moving from Timely to Bookin.

  1. Set up your page

    Add your services, prices and opening hours. Free needs no card, so you can set everything up before you tell anyone.

  2. Connect your payments

    On Basic or Super, connect your own Stripe or SumUp for deposits. Bookin adds nothing to their card fee.

  3. Swap your link

    Put your Bookin link wherever your Timely link was: your Instagram bio, Google profile and website.

  4. Let Timely wind down

    Keep Timely for the bookings already made there. Once they've happened, you can close your account.
