Top Alternatives

5 Best Timely Alternatives in 2026

Clean UI at $30/mo base, but $9-15/staff adds up fast, and there's no AI, no marketplace, and no Arabic support.

Timely has a clean interface and a solid 4.7 rating in New Zealand, Australia, and the UK. But per-staff pricing ($9-15/staff on top of $30/mo base) scales badly for growing teams, and the lack of AI, marketplace, and Arabic support limits growth potential. Here are better alternatives for scaling beauty businesses.
