How much does Timely cost per month in the UK?
The bill rises as the diary fills. Timely has three plans, Run, Boost and Thrive, each priced per week and billed in GBP: Run starts from £4 a week, Boost from £7 and Thrive from £9. That is about £17, £30 and £39 a month at the starting figure. Every plan carries unlimited team members, and there is an add-on, Advanced team management, at a further £8 a week for targets, staff-specific pricing, activity tracking and team payouts.
Timely's weekly bill rises with the number of bookings you take. Revyfy has no such adjustment: it is £39.99 a month, no VAT added, at any booking volume.
How Timely's booking-based pricing works
Rather than pricing per staff member, Timely prices per week on the number of bookings a business takes. A new customer enters an estimate of their weekly bookings to get a first bill, and the price then moves up or down as actual bookings come in. A quiet week costs less; a busy week costs more.
Timely also offers a 14-day free trial. Revyfy's trial is 7 days and needs no card to start, but the price it leads to afterwards does not depend on how many bookings were taken during the trial or after it.
What is included in Run, Boost and Thrive
Run, the entry plan from £4 a week, includes online booking and calendar, SMS, a branded website, client records, automated reminders, in-person payments and online deposits, reporting and email support.
Boost, from £7 a week, adds SMS marketing campaigns, service add-ons, digital consultation forms, post-appointment messages, cancellation fees, a waitlist, custom colours, custom booking steps, and features aimed at reducing gaps between appointments. Timely's page is explicit that the waitlist is "not included in Run". On Revyfy the waitlist, consultation forms and cancellation policy are in the one £39.99 plan from day one.
Thrive, from £9 a week, adds customisable rewards, VIP client services, a branded client experience, automated consultation forms, rebooking reminders, accounting integrations, a stock app connected to Timely, priority support and automatic waitlist archiving.

Timely's transaction fees
Timely charges 1.59% + 5p per transaction in salon using Tap to Pay or a Timely terminal, plus the cost of a terminal unless using Tap to Pay, listed separately from the subscription. Online payments, such as deposits and cancellation fees, cost 1.85% + 30p per transaction. An international card carries a 3.00% + 30p fee, and a custom rate can be discussed once a business passes 15 bookings a week.
Card processing applies on both platforms, as it does everywhere.

|---|---|---|
| 3-chair salon, Boost + staff-specific pricing | about £65/month, rising with bookings | £39.99/month, however busy |
On Timely, Boost starts from £7 a week, about £30 a month. Adding the Advanced team management add-on for staff-specific pricing is a further £8 a week, about £35 a month, so the salon pays about £65 a month, rising with bookings. Revyfy's £39.99 already includes the waitlist, consultation forms, cancellation fees and staff-specific pricing, and does not move whether the salon has a busy month or a quiet one.
The flat-price alternative: Revyfy
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.
Whether a business takes ten bookings a week or a hundred, the price stays £39.99. There is no weekly adjustment to track, and no plan to move up to for a waitlist or consultation forms.
During your 7-day free trial, 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. No card is needed to start the trial.
