Purpose-built booking and payments for beauty, salon and spa
Timely is a purpose-built, easy-to-use and transparently priced booking-and-payments platform for beauty and spa — a strong front-of-house layer for med spas, though not HIPAA-marketed and not a clinical EMR.
Timely is a cloud-based booking and payments platform purpose-built for the hair, beauty and spa industries, owned by EverCommerce. It combines online self-booking, automated SMS/email reminders, integrated payments and deposits, consultation forms, memberships and reporting into a single, easy-to-use system. For med spas it functions as a strong booking-and-payments layer: clients book online, deposits reduce no-shows, and consult forms capture intake at the point of booking.
Timely publishes transparent per-user tiers — roughly $30 to $60 per month depending on plan and team size — with a free trial and no long-term contracts, and integrated card processing handled through Stripe. The important caveat for US medical practices is that Timely is **not strongly marketed as a HIPAA-compliant clinical platform**; it is built for beauty-industry operations rather than regulated clinical documentation. Med spas handling protected health information should treat Timely as a booking-and-payments and light-intake layer and confirm any HIPAA or BAA requirements directly before relying on it for PHI.
Ideal customer

A vendor-neutral guide to choosing booking and payments software for a med spa—covering why this is its own decision, the HIPAA filter that rules most platforms in or out, capabilities, payment economics, and how to match a tool to your stage.
Med spa booking and payments software has three cost layers: subscription, payment processing percentage, and marketplace or add-on fees. Here's a transparent 2026 breakdown of real prices - and why processing fees often matter more than the monthly plan.
Booking & PaymentsAcuity Scheduling is a flexible, booking-first self-scheduling platform with payments, deposits, packages, and memberships, plus a HIPAA-enabled option on its top tiers — widely used by solo injectors and med spas.
Booking & PaymentsBooker by Mindbody is a spa- and salon-focused booking, point-of-sale, membership and marketing platform — a distinct product from the standalone Mindbody platform, aimed at front-of-house operations rather than clinical charting.
Booking & PaymentsBooksy is a consumer-marketplace booking app for beauty and grooming businesses with integrated payments, strong on client acquisition — but it is not HIPAA-compliant, which is a meaningful limitation for med spas handling protected health information.
