Honest verdict
When to choose which.
Stick with Timely if
You're embedded in their integration ecosystem.
- You've been on Timely for years and the team knows it well
- You depend on a niche Timely integration (Xero, MYOB, specific marketing tools)
- You don't run walk-ins or need a queue display
Switch to Bookzyr if
You want simple pricing, faster setup, and walk-in tools.
- You want a clear price: $19.95 per team member a month, billed monthly
- You run walk-ins and want a queue display
- You want a snappier mobile experience
- You'd rather self-serve in 20 minutes than book a 2-hour onboarding
