Leaving Timely: what UK salons do next
Salons leave Timely because the weekly bill moves with how many bookings they take, from £4, £7 or £9 a week at the starting price, and because a waitlist, consultation forms and cancellation fees sit on a higher plan than they started on. The move to Revyfy is done for you during a 14-day trial, £39.99 flat, no VAT added, unlimited staff, zero commission.

Why UK salons leave Timely
UK salons leave Timely because the bill moves with the business. Timely's UK pricing is per week and adjusts with the number of bookings taken: Run from £4 a week, Boost from £7 and Thrive from £9, each a starting price. Timely's own page says the weekly bill "will automatically adjust up and down" once trading begins, and the figure above the starting price is worked out per business rather than published.
On top of that, a waitlist, consultation forms, cancellation fees and SMS marketing campaigns all sit on the Boost plan rather than the entry Run plan, and stock, rebooking reminders and accounting integrations sit on Thrive higher still. Staff-specific pricing is a further add-on at £8 a week. A salon that started on Run because of its low starting price can find several of the features it actually wants sit on a plan above it.
Put together, that is a bill that moves with the week and a set of features spread across three plans, rather than a fixed figure and a full feature set a salon can plan a budget around.
How Timely's price compares to Revyfy's
At the starting price, Run is about £17 a month, Boost about £30 and Thrive about £39, using Timely's own weekly figures (£4, £7 and £9 a week x 52 / 12). Every one of those numbers is a starting price only: the actual weekly bill rises and falls with bookings taken, and that adjusted figure is not published.
| Plan | Timely (starting price) | Revyfy |
|---|---|---|
| Run | about £17/month | £39.99/month |
| Boost | about £30/month | £39.99/month |
| Thrive | about £39/month | £39.99/month |
None of these figures include what happens in a genuinely busy week, which Timely's own page says pushes the bill higher, or the £8 a week Advanced team management add-on for staff-specific pricing. A 3-chair salon wanting a waitlist, consultation forms, cancellation fees and staff-specific pricing starts from about £65 a month on Timely before that booking-volume adjustment. Revyfy stays at £39.99 in every row, whatever the week looks like and whatever the team size.
What to check before you leave
Check first that your future appointments will move across intact, on the right day and time, with the right staff member. Beyond that, it helps to know exactly what else you want carried over. All of the following moves with Revyfy:
- Future appointments. Everything already booked in your diary, on the right day and time, with the right staff member.
- Client list and notes. Contact details, visit history and any notes on file.
- Services and prices. Your existing service list and how each one is priced.
- Gift card balances. What is outstanding on any gift card a client has bought.
- Stock levels. Current quantities for anything you sell or use.
- Staff. Your team, their roles and what they are booked to deliver.
Running both systems side by side
You start a 14-day trial and tell us you are coming from Timely. From there, the Revyfy team moves your staff, clients, notes, services, future appointments, gift cards and stock across for you.
You can run both systems side by side for as long as you need, checking that everything looks right before committing to anything. Timely keeps running until you choose to go live on Revyfy, so there is no gap where the salon is without a working system.
Nothing is switched over publicly until you decide it is ready. You choose when to share your new booking link and when to stop taking bookings on the old system, so the pace of the move stays in your hands throughout the trial. Revyfy has no contract: cancel any time.
What changes for your clients
Very little changes for your clients: they book on your own branded page, at your own link, in place of Timely's booking page and branded website. Reminders continue as before, and there is nothing for a client to do or set up.
Your existing clients are yours: their history, notes and future appointments move with you, and they carry on booking with your salon the same as always.
What Revyfy costs after the switch
Revyfy is £39.99 a month, flat, no VAT added, for unlimited staff and zero commission on any booking. The price includes online booking on your own branded page, the diary, POS, client records with notes and consent forms, reminders, email and SMS marketing, custom forms, a waitlist, deposits with a shown cancellation policy, and rooms and equipment booking. Revy AI, the assistant that answers questions about the business and helps manage clients, is available as an add-on at £24.99 a month, with the first 2 months free.
| Timely | Revyfy | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly price | £4 to £9 a week starting price, then adjusts with bookings | £39.99 flat |
| New-client fee | No new client fees stated | 0% commission, ever |
| Waitlist | Boost plan and above | Included |
During your 14-day free trial, no card needed, the Revyfy team moves your data over from Timely: staff, clients, notes, services, future appointments, gift cards and stock all come across, so you are not starting from a blank system on day one.
