Booksy alternative

A Booksy alternative
built around your brand.

Booksy pairs a subscription with a client marketplace. TimeKey is a flat fee with 0% commission, a full website on your own domain, and an AI receptionist — your brand at the front, not a marketplace.

Booksy is popular with barbershops and salons for good reason — the app and the marketplace bring in new clients. But you are paying a per-seat subscription and living inside someone else’s marketplace, where your clients see every competitor a block away and your brand plays second fiddle to the Booksy brand.

TimeKey keeps the useful parts — online booking, reminders, deposits, reviews — and puts your brand back at the front. A full website on your own domain, a booking page that is unmistakably yours, and an AI receptionist that answers WhatsApp and the phone. You pay a flat fee with 0% commission on bookings, and the client relationship stays with you.
