Pros

“Timely's automated time tracking has greatly benefited the management of research projects, allowing me to precisely track time spent on various grants without the hassle of manual entry.”

Alison M.

Data Analyst

“It also includes budget tracking and timesheets.”

Ritu G.

Scientist

“Functional and remembered my data so I could quickly and easily re-book appointments”

Ashley C.

Commercial Advisor

Pros

“We are using Calendly and it takes care of 99% of our scheduling needs, making it easier to schedule appointments with outside parties and other teams in our Administrative department.”

Alexandre D.

Secretary General

“Limited functionality on the free plan – Features like multiple event types, advanced scheduling rules, branding customization, and integrations are restricted unless you upgrade.”

Radha S.

Legal Assistant

“I could easily send prospects my booking link, they could view the available times I created (within around of minute), select and provide a link to all required attendees.”

Connor W.

Account executive

Cons

“The Timely app has some bugs which should be fixed in next updates.”

Ritu G.

Scientist

“Not offering clients slots that are available, booking clients in slots that aren’t supposed to be available and open times in the diary are not showing to customers.”

Rebecca G.

Massage therapist

“The software is relatively expensive compared to some other time-tracking and scheduling tools on the market. While Timely provides some basic reporting features, it doesn't offer as many advanced reporting options as some other tools.”

Priyanshu J.

Manager

Cons

“Dependence on perfect calendar hygiene – If connected calendars aren’t well maintained, scheduling issues can still occur, which puts responsibility back on the user.”

Radha S.

Legal Assistant

“The booking pages still look pretty basic, and for teams with very specific needs, the tool can sometimes feel a bit limited.”

Rashaad J.

Junior A and R Associate

“I tried it for my business but found that the features were not very customizable to our needs. When I contacted customer support to see more personalized options, they were quick to respond but for a growing and just starting business, the enterprise pricing was outside the budget.”

Sofia H.
