Dayfill

Timely alternative

Dayfill and Timely, compared

Dayfill is AU$110 a month, GST included, flat, for the whole business, with every feature included, no commission and no new-client fees, including on clients who find you on the Dayfill marketplace, where listing is free. Clients book on your own brand, and payments go to your own Stripe account.

Timely prices its plans by bookable team member, and its pricing page lists a starting price of AU$42 a month for Australia. Text messages and card payments are separate lines, so the total for your team depends on the plan you choose and how many people take bookings.

Who should stay on Timely

We'd rather you didn't switch if:

  • Your team already runs on Timely's apps every day and nothing is broken. The easiest switch is the one you don't make, especially while the Dayfill marketplace is new.
  • You want one company to process your card payments and run your bookings, rather than your own Stripe account.
  • You have a larger team and have worked out that your Timely plan, texts and card fees already come in under a flat price. Check with your own invoice, not ours.

Switching is a checklist, not a leap.

You keep trading the whole time, and you approve the result before a single client sees it.

  1. 1

    Export from your current system

    Download your clients, services, appointments and open gift vouchers from your current booking system's own export tools. Ten minutes, and it keeps working while you do it.

  2. 2

    Upload it yourself, or we will

    Upload your exports in Setup → Import. Prefer us to do it? Send them over and we will, free.

  3. 3

    You check it first

    Walk through your calendar side by side before anything goes live. Nothing switches until you say it's right.

  4. 4

    Go live when ready

    Point your booking link at the new page. Clients book on a page with your name and colours, with no other shops on it. Migration is free.

Timely figures read from its own pages on 22/10/2026; where a page doesn't say, we say so rather than guess. Timely is a trademark of its owner; Dayfill isn't affiliated with it. Prices change, so check Timely's pricing page for current ones.
