Chose Timely booking & payments system
Harvest has been a very competitive software when compared to timely software, but both the software has their own pros and cons, which I really find interesting. Harvest has a better cloud-based system, but when it comes to discounts and customer service timely based software …
Chose Timely booking & payments system
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.

Hairdressers or massage salons, the places where they are too busy to take an appointment via the phone effectively. Places with high pace client walkthrough and multiple staff members. Timely is perfect for environments like that as it would assist in automating a huge part of the admin processes. In my experience using it for high-value services, [it has] proven to be a sales killer due to two main reasons: 1) Booking process taking so long, that a lot of clients change their mind or just call, as for the money that they are saying they are expecting better service. 2) Shows price only at the end of the process, which clients don't like, they want to know price upfront.

Cons
  • Support is slow and not very knowledgeable. Taking into account that they work only UK time, makes it almost useless.
  • Users are taken through a very lengthy booking process that required a lot of information from them and gives a price only at the very end. Because of that, we have got only 5 bookings in 5 years. Majority of people preferred to book over the phone as it was too difficult.
  • Event/Class booking does not allow you to book more than 1 ticket at the time
