Timely costs vs KadePay: plans, fees and usage

Understand Timely pricing before comparing it with KadePay. Separate the software plan, processing costs and usage charges, then calculate a scenario from your own quotes.

How Timely prices the reviewed offering

Compare the current US plan and included SMS allowance for the actual staff roster. Form sending, automation and photo/document records can require specific plans. Payment processing is separate from subscription pricing. Publicly retrieved pricing information should be reconfirmed in the live country selector and checkout before quoting exact amounts.

Pricing model: Per-staff subscription with plan-dependent capabilities, message allowances and processing costs.

Check current pricing
  • Staff count and selected plan
  • Consultation sending, automation and document requirements
  • SMS usage beyond the allowance
  • In-person versus online payment mix
  • Terminal hardware where required

Build a like-for-like quote

For hair and beauty professionals, salon teams and service businesses evaluating booking and client consultation workflows, a useful budget follows the work you actually perform. Ask each provider to price the same staff count, payment channel and required customer tasks. Include the integrations needed for the complete setup, and keep one-time migration work separate from recurring monthly charges.

  • Will consultations happen remotely, on a business iOS device or on each customer's phone?
  • Which plan includes the required form delivery, automation and document features?
  • What happens to stored consultations and documents when changing devices or migrating data?
Walk through the Timely business scenario

Put the KadePay side in the same budget

Choose the applicable KadePay plan and read the complete pricing table. Distinguish terminal and manually entered card rates, appointment usage, session or ticket charges and optional payment methods. Recurring billing and multiple users depend on the plan. Do not compare a card-present rate on one side with an online or manual-entry rate on the other.

If Timely connects to a separate processor, include that processor in its budget. If KadePay uses a processor for your payment setup, include the applicable full payment charges and avoid counting the same charge twice. A software subscription and a transaction processing charge describe different costs.

Compare your own quotes

Enter current quotes for the same payment channel, country and card mix. The example volume is editable; fee fields are deliberately blank. For interchange-plus pricing, use a blended effective rate including interchange, not only the processor markup.

Enter both sets of rates to calculate.

A simple flat-rate worksheet, not an official quote. Excludes taxes, hardware purchases, refunds, disputes, cross-border/currency charges and tiered rate calculations. Add relevant software and usage charges yourself; different fee bases need a separate calculation. Your inputs stay in this page and are not saved.

Before you accept a quote

The Consult FAQ states that in-person form completion is currently available through its iOS app, so device testing matters.

Read the qualification

Consult consultations kept only in the app can be lost when it is uninstalled; the guide recommends sharing them to client records.

Read the qualification

Confirm the renewal period, location or staff limits, optional add-ons and any migration work. Ask the provider to demonstrate the exact workflow in your quote. An advertised starting price is not a promise that every feature or every payment method is included.

Questions before you choose

Is Timely cheaper than KadePay?

That depends on the plan, processing contract, payment channel, volume and usage. Compare the current US plan and included SMS allowance for the actual staff roster. Form sending, automation and photo/document records can require specific plans. Payment processing is separate from subscription pricing. Publicly retrieved pricing information should be reconfirmed in the live country selector and checkout before quoting exact amounts.

Does the worksheet use official Timely rates?

No. Enter your current quotes or statement-derived rates. The worksheet shows a simple monthly scenario and excludes charges listed below the form.
