Timely vs. Zanda
The Best Timely Alternative for Allied Health Practitioners
What's the difference between Timely and Zanda?
When choosing between Timely and Zanda, consider which features matter most to your practice. If you need a waitlist to automatically fill cancellations, or treatment note templates to cut admin time, Zanda is the stronger choice.
Timely vs Zanda: Top highlights
Fill cancellations with minimal effort
Last-minute cancellations are stressful and costly. Zanda's waitlist feature lets you send bulk SMS messages to clients who match your criteria (wait time, availability, preferred practitioner), so open slots fill quickly with minimal effort from you.
Timely has no waitlist feature.
Built specifically for healthcare professions
Zanda is built specifically for allied health, trusted by thousands of practitioners across 85 health sectors. Timely is built primarily for beauty and wellness businesses, which means health practitioners often find key features missing and end up patching gaps with third-party tools.
Treatment note templates to save you time
Timely doesn't support treatment note templates, a gap that hits health practitioners hard. Zanda gives you over 100 specialized, fully customizable templates for free, with support for text areas, image and body charts, multiple-choice, tick boxes, and more.
Timely lets you add notes or upload documents, but those documents have to be created outside the app first.
Two-way SMS messaging for convenient communication
Both Timely and Zanda send email and SMS messages from within the app, but only Zanda receives responses there too. Two-way SMS keeps every conversation in one place, so you're never switching between systems to track replies from clients, colleagues, or other providers.
More affordable pricing
Zanda gives you more features at a lower price. Compared to Timely's Innovate plan (the closest feature-equivalent), Zanda costs significantly less as your practice grows. At 7 practitioners, Timely is more than double the price.
See why health practices love Zanda
Zanda is purpose-built for allied health. Whether you're running a solo clinic or a multi-location practice, Zanda gives you everything you need to manage clients, notes, billing, and communications in one connected system.
