Crowded vs. Timely booking & payments system

Crowded is very well suited for fraternities, or any non-profit community groups really, that have a centralized fund and rely on members purchasing equipment and materials individually. Any company that requires reimbursements and has to manage dues from numerous members should take advantage of this free application, as it provides a really easy way to manage the finances of an organization

I've researched a lot of salon software, and Timely was the top-of-the-line software that does it all compared to competitors. It has a friendly interface, offers easy ways to communicate with clients via text and emails, and provides insights and reports, so it indeed does everything you need for booking software. On top of that, it's cloud-based, so say goodbye to only accessing your appointment book through your computer at the salon.

We were using GreekBill before to manage our funds and dues, and it was very outdated and unhelpful. Crowded was much more simple, easy to use, and had way more functions.

Timely is by far the most user-friendly and fun to use. It's got a great interface, works on iPads, and training is super easy for the team. Other software is clunky and takes too long to set up and train the team to use.

• It has allowed us to keep track of all our finances and not lose track of funds.
• It has allowed us to lower dues because of this increased accountability and organization.
• No more reimbursement forms and Venmo payments!

• Bragging rights, yes. Always cool to tell how automated your business is.
• ROI, no. In our case, it wasn't worth the time spent in integration into the website, system setup, plus subscription fee. However, take into account, that High-Value Professional Services is a wrong industry for this product.
• Convenience and confidence that there will be no double booking across G Suite and Timely was tested and were really handy at the times.
• No ability to use our own SMTP. If your server has Anti-Spoofing DKIM and etc., setting it up with Timely was a nightmare as support had no idea. So a lot of emails were going to Spam on the client's side.
