Section 02 — Monthly spend realityTimely vs Setora at different team sizes

Costs rise with staff.
Setora doesn’t.

Timely’s per-staff model can be fine for solo operators, but it compounds quickly for growing teams. Setora keeps one clear subscription line.

Questions

Straight answers

No sales jargon. Here’s what you actually want to know.

Timely supports exports for core records including customer and reporting data. We’ll help you move your data into Setora and verify your import before you go live.

£14.99/month per location is how we make money. We don’t take a cut of your bookings, your card payments, or your walk-ins.

Minimize Gaps is a strong Timely feature for keeping diaries tight. Setora doesn’t currently mirror that exact behavior, but our scheduling flow is designed to reduce dead time and make rescheduling fast.

Timely’s native Xero sync is a genuine strength. If direct Xero sync is business-critical today, that should be part of your decision. We can help you map a practical migration workflow for accounting in the meantime.

Most shops are up and running in a day: set up services and staff, import clients, then switch your booking link.

Timely bundles SMS allowances by plan and then charges overage. Setora keeps SMS separate and transparent, so you only pay for what you actually send.
