SimplyBook.me alternative

Everything included,
not add-on by add-on.

SimplyBook.me is flexible but priced by custom features you switch on one by one. TimeKey includes the essentials on a flat plan — reminders, deposits, AI, website — no à la carte.

SimplyBook.me is genuinely flexible, with a wide catalogue of features you enable as add-ons. That flexibility is a strength if you have unusual needs — and a downside if the essentials you expect (reminders, deposits, more staff, more bookings) each add to the bill, and configuring them becomes a project.

TimeKey takes the opposite approach: the whole platform is included on one flat plan — online booking, per-staff calendars, SMS/email/WhatsApp reminders, deposits, reviews, an AI receptionist and a website on your own domain. No per-feature pricing, no add-on maze, and you can start free.
