    MemberVault
    I recommend it for those who are maybe 1-2 employees in their business--in other words, people just starting online with their business. It's priced right, so you can still make money with few sales. Plus, the ongoing support really helps you understand how to navigate the platform. It probably wouldn't be as great for someone who has thousands of people taking a course or someone who can afford a platform like Kajabi, where you can have everything right there. Because it doesn't host everything you need, it is for the frugally minded or smaller clientele biz owner.

    Timely
    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.

    Cons
    MemberVault
    • I do wish you could host video right on the platform. You can't now but have to use other video sites.
    • I wish you could tailor the domain to reflect back to a page on your website.
    • I like the marketplace page but wish you could design it a little bit differently.
    • It's hard for people to cancel a subscription on their own.

    Both Teachable and Kajabi are much higher priced. I feel like the look of Teachable is no better than MemberVault, and so I wouldn't want to pay more for that platform. Kajabi is much more aesthetically pleasing in how it looks and all you can do, but the price is at least 3-4 times more per month. I also wanted a platform that would let me have few people, and they let me start on a free plan initially. The others did not.

    Timely
    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.

    Return on Investment
    MemberVault
    • Since starting with MemberVault 4 years ago, I went from 0 customers to 850 clients, with about 220 paying customers.
    • I've grown my mailing list by about 1000 by using this platform.
    • I wish they worked with all email providers because I have to pay more for Zapier. This hurts my sales profit.
    • Their plan to grandfather us into the price we originally paid helps me save money each year as I add more products.

    Timely
    • 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.
