Read this comparison as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.
The Sales Team Lead
Leads fourteen account executives in three time zones and gets every demo request from the website. Wants inbound demos routed by company size and region, round-robin that is fair and can be checked, two-way sync with Outlook and Google so nobody is double-booked, a video link in every invite, and the booking written into the CRM before the call starts.
eTermin
This judge's pick
TIMIFY
Criterion by criterion
Booking page & client experience
eTermin
Multi-step preselection of services and staff, embedding on the company's website with corporate-design and CSS customisation, mobile optimisation, guest or registered booking, a direct cancellation link, booking straight from Google Search and Maps, and group bookings for courses are all documented. We found no public information on automatic time-zone handling, conditional intake questions or a published accessibility statement, and the terms require a visible link to the vendor's site when the booking page is embedded.
TIMIFY
The booking widget embeds as an overlay button or iFrame with CMS plugins, custom fields can be made required in the widget, and customers reschedule or cancel themselves from the confirmation email link. Group events and courses, twelve-plus languages with multi-timezone support and bookings from Google via Reserve with Google lift it above the middle band; we found no public information on group seat limits or an accessibility statement for the booking flow.
Calendar sync & availability rules
eTermin
Sync with Google, Outlook, Exchange, CalDAV and iCloud is stated, with two-way direction explicit for iCloud, plus buffers, holiday import and blocking, per-employee working hours with varying weekly hours and shift plans, and rooms and devices bookable alongside the person and blocked automatically when an employee is booked. The captured pages do not state the direction for Google and Outlook sync, and we found no public information on booking windows, daily limits or documented sync behaviour.
TIMIFY
Two-way sync with Google is documented and the Office 365 app offers one-way or two-way sync, alongside buffers, working-time restrictions and duty-roster handling of holidays and sick days, with rooms and equipment auto-booked alongside a service. The support pages carry real caveats — only one Office 365 calendar per Microsoft account, bookings moved outside working hours in Google stop syncing, and conflicts are resolved manually — and we found no public information on iCloud or CalDAV.
Team, staff & location scheduling
eTermin
Independent calendars per employee and resource with own profiles, services and availability, customer choice of preferred employee, user management with permissions per employee and location, and single sign-on on request are documented. Distribution is what my team lives on, and we found no public information on round-robin or weighted assignment, routing by form answers or CRM ownership, or collective meetings needing several people at once.
TIMIFY
Team profiles with categories and a duty roster, up to fifteen granular permission types with an admin role, multi-location branch management with bulk upload and a central booking centre, and SAML single sign-on with permission mapping to identity-provider groups are all documented. We found no public information on round-robin or any-available assignment, routing by form answers such as company size or region, or fairness reporting on how bookings are distributed — the checks I would run before routing inbound demos.
Reminders, payments & no-show protection
eTermin
Automatic confirmations and reminders by email, SMS and WhatsApp, deposits or full prepayment at booking through named providers, mandatory prepayment per selected service, and a waitlist that automatically refills cancelled slots with its own confirmations are all documented. We found no public information on an enforced cancellation deadline, no-show or late-cancellation fees, or configurable reminder timing.
TIMIFY
Email reminders are configurable across three types, one hour to three days ahead and up to three per appointment, with automated follow-ups and a waitlist offering earlier slots, and card payment at booking runs through Stripe or PayPal with the fee split stated exactly. We found no public information on SMS reminders, deposits, or system-enforced cancellation deadlines and no-show fees.
Integrations, API & data export
eTermin
A documented API with all four REST verbs, key-based signing and code examples, webhooks on created, modified and deleted appointments, the statement that almost every object can be manipulated via the API, automatic Zoom, Teams and Google Meet links sent to the booker, and named CRM partners such as Salesforce, Pipedrive and Zoho plus Zapier and Make give me most of what my reps need. We found no public information on rate limits or a documented full export format; the terms place the download of data before contract end on the customer.
TIMIFY
A documented REST platform with over 120 endpoints, webhooks with logs, an app marketplace, Zapier, Zoom and GoToMeeting apps, video booking in the Enterprise tier, booking exports and free export of customer data even after termination are all published. Zapier sits behind the Enterprise plan, and we found no public information on named native CRM connectors, published rate limits, or writing bookings into a CRM before a call starts.
European sovereignty
eTermin
Hosting is documented as a C5-certified datacenter in Frankfurt am Main in Germany with the application operated inside the EU, a data processing agreement under Article 28 GDPR can be signed electronically, and configurable deletion and anonymisation options are published. The contracting entity is eTermin GmbH in Schwyz, Switzerland; the named subprocessors cover only the website — Zendesk in the US for support pages, which the privacy policy states is not used for the application itself, and Tapfiliate in the Netherlands for the partner program — and we found no public information on the application's own subprocessors for hosting, email or SMS.
TIMIFY
The contracting entity is TerminApp GmbH in Munich under German law, with a data processing agreement, customer audit rights including on-site inspection, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification and hosting on named AWS infrastructure including a Frankfurt region. The payment chain runs through Stripe, Chargebee and PayPal and AWS is US-headquartered, and we found no published subprocessor list with locations for the delivery chain.
Pricing transparency
eTermin
Lite at € 19 per month and Pro at € 29 per month are published with a feature comparison table, a thirty-day free trial without credit card, monthly and annual billing with one month free per year, prices plus statutory VAT, a three-month minimum term and two weeks' notice. Enterprise is priced on request, multi-location setups are individual quotes, and we found no public information on the cost of additional calendars, SMS credits, integrations, locations or payment fees.
TIMIFY
Three tiers are publicly priced including a free plan, monthly and yearly billing are both shown, the payment fee split is stated to the cent, and the twelve-month term, auto-renewal, four-week cancellation notice and VAT treatment are all published. The Enterprise Plus tier is individual price on contact, add-ons are priced on request, the single sign-on add-on fees are undisclosed, and we found no public information on the scaling unit of the monthly price or SMS credit costs.
