Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 40 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Consumers generally find the platform extremely user-friendly, appreciating how simple it is to set up independently, customize features, and seamlessly navigate the system for everyday business operations. People frequently mention that the staff is exceptionally supportive, patient, and always ready to provide quick guidance when technical questions arise. However, some customers also noted significant difficulties regarding communication breakdowns and extended support response times during critical moments of need. A few people experienced lengthy delays, unhelpful interactions, and a complete lack of assistance when trying to resolve urgent system failures. These individuals felt completely undervalued after paying for dedicated assistance without receiving timely resolutions.

Hi Hoih, I’m really sorry to hear about your experience, that must be really stressful.

We provide salon booking services, not loans, so it looks like this review may have been intended for another company. I hope you’re able to get in touch with the right team and get this sorted.

After spending months considering a move from another booking system, I was very nervous about making the change. Now, I honestly cannot recommend Timely enough!

The team held my hand from the start, providing clear information, helpful resources and plenty of support throughout the transfer. They kept me updated and made everything easy to follow.

It can feel a little overwhelming during the first few days, but there is always support available. After using it for a few days, I quickly became more comfortable and confident.

As a hairdresser and business owner, it has everything I need, including marketing tools, SMS and appointment reminders. I’m so pleased I finally made the change.

I would recommend Timely 100% to other hairdressers. An amazing booking system with fantastic support five stars from me!

I have now used Timely for 2 years and I have to say that I am overall really impressed. They have small Company feel with a large company delivery. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the Tech support team, especially Sarah who is outstanding. Sometimes the price is really worth the investment. These guys have been superb. Thanks everyone.

Poor customer service and high merchant rates

I was using Timely PayPal for my business and I called them to ask what fees I was paying per transaction the support staff that answered let me know that I was paying about 1.8% on each transaction I advised her of the rate other banks had given me which were about half that and she said that timely's rate was going to change as of October 1st but that the rate was top secret and she couldn't tell me?!! I moved it over to the lowest rate bank. Timely staff are non helpful and really don't care about retaining customers, their rates are not competitive at all!! I'm going to be saving about $4,000 annually by moving.

Hi Denise,

We understand why hearing that changes were coming without having the details would have been frustrating. We were still reviewing the impact on our rates and didn’t want to share information before it was confirmed.

From 1 October, TimelyPay’s domestic rates for both online and in-person payments reduced by 0.05%. This was applied automatically, while international and American Express rates remain unchanged.

We support you in making the best decision for your business and wanted to make sure you had the latest information from us.

Customer service experience Outstanding

My customer service experience was outstanding. From the time I called in for help, all communication with me, from Timely, was outstanding. The reply from Timely was easy for me to understand and concise. That's what I liked the most.

Let down by Timely support

It gives me no pleasure to write this, as Timely has been a trusted partner for many years as our calendar/booking system. But the last few months, the quality of their support has put us in a really tough position, as a critical service (SMS booking confirmations) has not been functioning, or has been so intermittent as to be completely unreliable. We've had a few apologies and placeholders, and to be fair it does seem like a problem with Twilio, but we have had no update for weeks (despite chasing) and no sense at all of a timeline to resolve the issue. We have even been "escalated" the "leadership team", which simply resulted in a further six weeks of radio silence. Having paid Timely tens of thousands of pounds it's hard not to feel let down. I must urge anyone that might want/need prompt support to look elsewhere. We certainly are.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration, particularly given the ongoing issues you've encountered with your business’ SMS booking confirmations and the lack of prompt resolution.

We recognise the impact this has had on your business and appreciate that, as a long-standing customer, this experience has fallen short of the standard you expected from Timely.

Your feedback has been shared with the relevant teams and is being taken seriously. While we appreciate that this doesn't change the experience you've had, we want to thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.

Great work Timley

I’ve been using Timely in my salon for a good few years now, and I can honestly say it does not disappoint. The team are there whenever I’ve needed them with quick responses to my questions giving full me full step by step explanations and easy fixes. So good to know you have their help at your fingertips and the peace of mind it gives me is priceless.

I have been with Timely for years now. They constantly add & update / improve features. I had a question about card capture and charging cancellation fees. They responded very quickly; explained what had happened and how to fix it. I was very pleased with the service & outcome.

I’ve been using timely to keep track of booking in appointments, the sms reminders and email marketing features are great, one set fee per month for the sms bundle you want so your not losing out on % from booking via links like other similar systems, the app for the phone is super handy.
customer care is prompt and so helpful.
No complaints so far ❤️

Unfortunately, our experience with Timely was incredibly disappointing.

After months of planning, onboarding, training our team, and migrating our business, we were encouraged to move our entire operation onto the platform. We invested countless hours setting everything up, only to discover that a critical function our business relied on simply did not work due to a system limitation.

As a mobile business operating across multiple locations, we made our requirements clear from the beginning. Despite this, we were allowed to proceed through the entire onboarding process before being told the issue could not be resolved.

The result was a huge amount of wasted time, disruption to our staff, and significant financial loss. We had to abandon the migration and move our entire business back to our previous system after already investing heavily in the transition.

While Timely has since acknowledged that they should have reinforced their recommendation for a staged rollout and better communicated the risks, that acknowledgement came after the damage had already been done. A refund of the subscription fee does not compensate for the operational disruption, lost productivity, and revenue impact experienced by our business.

The support staff were polite and responsive, and I appreciate the Managing Director taking the time to reply personally. However, the overall process felt unorganised and lacked the level of due diligence you would expect when onboarding a business with more complex requirements.

If your business relies on Google Calendar integrations, multiple locations, mobile staff, or anything outside a standard salon setup, I would strongly recommend thoroughly testing every workflow before committing to a full migration.

Sadly, what should have been an exciting upgrade ended up costing us a significant amount of time, money, and stress.

Hi Alysha,

I'm sorry the migration did not work out as expected, especially after the time and effort your team invested in the migration. I understand how frustrating and disruptive that would have been for your business.

We appreciate your candid feedback and have carefully reviewed the points you've raised. Your experience has highlighted opportunities for us to improve how we communicate risks and support businesses with more complex requirements, including reinforcing staged rollouts where appropriate throughout onboarding and implementation.

Thank you for your feedback. We've shared it with the wider team and will use it to help improve the experience for future customers.

I wish you and your team all the best moving forward.
