Pros I worked on a project for hours, and Timely automatically tracked my time, saving me from having to enter everything manually.

I had a client that wanted my time tracked and seemed to not trust me to log time using a spreadsheet. I did not want to download another app, and I wasnt sure if business would validate upgrading to paid subscription. Pros Made it very easy to monitor and record time spent on a project Cons I didn't like that I had to download a tracking app. Switched from [Google Sheets](https://www.capterra.com/p/169718/Google-Sheets/) I wanted the integrity of this app to validate the time I was reporting.

AU Anonymous User Marketing and Partnerships Leisure, Travel & Tourism ### "Timely Review 2023" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 December 30, 2023 It is satisfactory. As a freelancer who likes to keep a record of daily commitment to projects and have a clean overview of it, Timely is great. Not recommended for someone who is just starting, as one has to purchase a basic plan to get started. Pros It seamlessly automates the process of recording work hours. Easy to integrate it with third-party PM apps like Asana and Basecamp and GSuite like Gmail and G Calendar. The 'Starter' paid plan is affordable. Cons Does not provide an option of a free plan. It does have a 14-day free trial, but then eventually has to shift to a paid plan.

AB Angelica B. University Intern Pharmaceuticals ### "Enhance Productivity and Efficiency with Timely" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 8, 2023 Timely helped me efficiently manage my time as an intern in the pharmaceutical product development and research department. I was able to precisely track the time spent on various jobs and projects thanks to the software's automatic time tracking feature. I was able to study my productivity trends as a result and better manage my time. I was able to spot areas for improvement and properly prioritize chores thanks to Timely's graphic reports, which gave me insightful information about my workflow. Overall, Timely dramatically improved my ability to manage my time, allowing me to concentrate on important research and development tasks. Pros Timely provides customers with a variety of strong features that aid in time management optimization. With no need for human entry, the software's automatic time tracking correctly records the time spent on various tasks and projects. Users may detect productivity bottlenecks and take well-informed decisions thanks to Timely's user-friendly interface and visually appealing reports, which offer useful insights into productivity patterns.

RG Ricky G. Salon Owner Consumer Services ### "Timely is Excellent for Booking and Sceduling" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 31, 2023 So far Timely has been a huge part of the Salon's success. The software has a ton of bells and whistles your business won't be able to live without, once you've ever tried it out. Pros The most impactful option Timely offers is SMS reminders to my customers about their upcoming scheduled events. I hear time after time from my clients how much they enjoy the reminder three hours before the appointment. Once, we disabled the SMS reminders as a means to save money. Well, it ended up costing big-time because several of our clients forgot about their appointments and those sales were lost. Cons I wish replies to SMS sent from Timely were forwarded to either my email or SMS to my phone, vs having to log in to view any replies in a hard to navigate inbox. Switched from [Square Appointments](https://www.capterra.com/p/170263/Square-Appointments/) Cost and included features. Alternatives considered [Booksy Biz](https://www.capterra.com/p/142741/Booksy/) Reasons for choosing Timely The feel of timely was more our speed.
