Genbook vs. Timely Booking and Client Management Software

Great for solo-preneurs! Genbook is like an automated admin assistant! Great for seeing my entire weekly schedule laid out. I use the back end calendar instead of Google Calendar.

Hairdressers or massage salons, the places where they are too busy to take an appointment via the phone effectively. Places with high pace client walkthrough and multiple staff members. Timely is perfect for environments like that as it would assist in automating a huge part of the admin processes. In my experience using it for high-value services, [it has] proven to be a sales killer due to two main reasons: 1) Booking process taking so long, that a lot of clients change their mind or just call, as for the money that they are saying they are expecting better service. 2) Shows price only at the end of the process, which clients don't like, they want to know price upfront.

• Manufactured time for my more essential job duties as owner
• It requires a credit card for all scheduling. Takes away the whole ask awkwardness.
• Sifts out the not so serious purveyors of massage and keeps those that are.
• Provides gift certificate purchase in increments or whole amounts. Saves me time.

• Support is slow and not very knowledgeable. Taking into account that they work only UK time, makes it almost useless.
• Users are taken through a very lengthy booking process that required a lot of information from them and gives a price only at the very end. Because of that, we have got only 5 bookings in 5 years. Majority of people preferred to book over the phone as it was too difficult.
• Event/Class booking does not allow you to book more than 1 ticket at the time

They were on point with everything, I didn't need to try others, Genbook was fast, simple to use, and set up. Clients love using it on any device and didn't have to download any app. I was a clean interface, easy to read and move appointments around, block out time if needed.

Timely is by far the most user-friendly and fun to use. It's got a great interface, works on iPads, and training is super easy for the team. Other software is clunky and takes too long to set up and train the team to use.
