Hit the Booking Cap in Peak Season — Then What? BookNow vs Dolyu's Unlimited Bookings
BookNow is comprehensive — NT$399/month with e-vouchers, payroll calculation, and Google Calendar sync, and the 30-day free trial is generous. But every plan has a monthly booking cap, with the lowest at 1,000 — hit that ceiling in peak season and you're making an on-the-spot decision about upgrading. Dolyu is US$15/person/month with no booking limit — never worry about overages or last-minute upgrade decisions.

What sets Dolyu apart
Four Reports — Use Data to Find Your Most Profitable Services and Best Clients
BookNow provides basic booking and revenue stats. Dolyu goes further: revenue overview, service profitability, staff performance, and client behavior — four reports that show which treatment earns the most and which clients are worth investing in, so you make decisions based on data, not instinct.
Branded Booking Page — Showcase Your Portfolio, Leave an Impression Before They Arrive
BookNow has a basic booking page. Dolyu lets you upload a portfolio, write service descriptions, and present your brand story — building a page that genuinely represents your professional image. New clients get a strong first impression before they ever walk in, which improves booking conversion.
Client Points — Give Clients a Reason to Keep Coming Back
Dolyu has built-in client points — clients add points and each visit is deducted automatically, reducing cancellation likelihood and increasing return rates. BookNow currently does not support client points.
A Refined Interface With Global Timezone and Multi-Currency Support
Dolyu's interface follows the same design standards as Notion and Asana — clear visual hierarchy and fluid interaction logic so you can set up services and start taking bookings in 5 minutes, no manual needed. It also supports custom timezones and multi-currency checkout — one system for clients anywhere in the world.
Dolyu vs BookNow 預約系統: Which one is right for you?
If your business needs e-vouchers, payroll calculation, and QR code check-in, BookNow is one of the few Taiwan-local systems that can deliver all of that at once — and the 30-day free trial is very generous. But if your booking volume has peak-season spikes, the monthly cap will be a recurring decision point. Dolyu is US$15/person/month (approx. NT$480) — unlimited bookings, four-dimension reports and branded page included, billing always predictable. 14-day trial — start there.

Dolyu has no booking limit and a flat monthly fee — no worrying about hitting a cap in peak season or making last-minute upgrade decisions. It also has a branded booking page with portfolio display and four-dimension revenue reports to manage your brand image and make data-driven decisions. BookNow tiers by monthly booking volume (lowest plan: 1,000/month) — exceed the cap and you need to upgrade.
Dolyu is US$15/person/month (approx. NT$480) — unlimited bookings, four-dimension reports and branded page included. BookNow's starter plan is NT$399/month for 1,000 bookings; exceed that and you move to NT$749 or even NT$1,199. If your volume has growth potential, choose Dolyu — the fee stays flat regardless of volume.
BookNow is a Taiwan-local booking system with a primarily Chinese interface. Dolyu's customer booking page supports Chinese, English, and Japanese, and clients can switch languages themselves — so when you serve international, cross-border, or bilingual clients, the booking page shows in their language. If your clients are mostly local Chinese speakers, both work; if you have international or bilingual needs, Dolyu's multilingual booking page has the edge.
Dolyu is designed to open and use — set up services in 5 minutes, and 14 days is more than enough to run through the complete booking flow, LINE notifications, and report features. A hands-on trial tells you more than any spec sheet.
Dolyu has no booking limit — the bill stays the same no matter how many bookings come in. BookNow bills by volume tier, so hitting the ceiling in peak season means a last-minute upgrade call. If your volume is unpredictable or growing, Dolyu's structure works better for you. 14-day free trial — put it to the test.

夯客 Hotcake
Hotcake is built around LINE booking with a NT$0 starter plan and 3,000+ brands on board. Booking happens inside LINE — there's no independent branded booking page, and customer data stays inside the LINE ecosystem. Dolyu is US$15/person/month and provides a standalone branded booking page (with portfolio display), portable CRM customer data, and four-dimension analytics — LINE can change its rules, but your customer data and booking flow always stay yours.
Freetime
Freetime at NT$300/month is great value and handles day-to-day booking well. But once you want to build a brand image, understand which services earn the most, and retain high-value clients, you'll find its portfolio page, operational reports, and client management are all fairly basic. Dolyu costs about NT$180 more per month and adds a branded portfolio page, four-dimension reports, and client CRM all at once — the extra cost is an investment in growing your business.
SayDou 神美
SayDou's NT$330/person/month all-inclusive plan is a strong deal long-term — but the first year requires a NT$5,000 setup fee, meaning you've paid for over a year before you even start. Dolyu is US$15/person/month (about NT$480) with zero setup fee — decide today, go live today, and continue after a 14-day trial if you like it.
QLiEER 客立樂
QLiEER uses annual tiered plans (Seedling from NT$950/month, billed annually), targeting beauty chain stores with POS hardware integration and staff payroll management. Dolyu is US$15/person/month (approx. NT$480), monthly billing, no contract, with core appointment management, reports, and branded page all included — suited to solo operators through small studios.
17FIT
17FIT uses annual contracts with custom pricing — no publicly listed monthly fee, minimum one year, no refunds. It has a consumer app for client discovery, POS, and payroll management, suited to mid-to-large venues with scale. Dolyu is US$15/person/month, pricing publicly listed, monthly billing, no contract, 14-day free trial, core features live in 5 minutes.
BeautinQ 美業歐巴
BeautinQ uses a modular plan structure with a 100-order/month cap on the starter plan. Advanced features like AI CRM, prepaid wallet, and interactive marketing require add-on modules, and pricing requires a sales consultation. Dolyu is US$15/person/month — pricing publicly listed, unlimited orders, all core features included, self-serve setup in 5 minutes.
樂創約
Onlinebooking.tw has a free plan (30 LINE new bookings/month) and an advanced plan at NT$399/month, including auto client segmentation and SMS reminders. No portfolio display on the booking page; reports are fairly basic. Dolyu is US$15/person/month with a branded booking page that includes portfolio display and four-dimension reports — flat fee regardless of usage.
Fresha
Fresha uses a transaction commission model: 2.79% + US$0.20 per online payment, 20% commission on Marketplace new client first visits, and advanced features like Loyalty sold separately. No LINE integration, no Traditional Chinese interface, no Chinese-language support. Dolyu is US$15/person/month flat, zero commission, LINE integration, Traditional Chinese, custom timezone, and multi-currency all included.
SimplyBook.me
SimplyBook.me is an international booking platform with a booking-count limit on the free plan and volume-based billing on paid plans. Feature Apps are purchased individually. No LINE integration, Traditional Chinese is machine-translated, no Chinese-language support. Dolyu is US$15/person/month with deep LINE integration, native Traditional Chinese, custom timezone, and multi-currency support.
Calendly
If someone told you "Calendly is a booking system too" — they're not wrong, but it's a different kind of tool. Calendly is for scheduling B2B meetings. Dolyu is for managing clients, sending LINE notifications, and reading four-dimension reports. Once you understand that difference, the choice is straightforward.
Setmore
Setmore's free plan with unlimited seats sounds compelling — until you discover: English-only interface, no LINE integration, and online payment not included in the free plan. Using Setmore in Taiwan means working around problems it was never designed to solve for you. Dolyu is US$15/person/month — Traditional Chinese, LINE push notifications, member points — none of those three friction points from day one.
Acuity Scheduling
Acuity Scheduling is Squarespace's international scheduling tool, well-suited to Western solopreneurs and SMBs. It's solid, but the interface is English-first, there's no LINE integration, and SMS, API, and multi-timezone are locked behind higher tiers. For Taiwan and Asia clients, Dolyu wins on native LINE, Traditional Chinese UI, and single pricing.
STORES 予約
STORES 予約 is the booking module of a Japanese all-in-one commerce platform — free to start, 180+ industries, with sibling EC and POS products. It's full-featured, but LINE is via mini-app link (not Official Account rich-menu control), the UI is Japanese-first, and each plan has monthly booking caps with overage fees. Native LINE control, a Chinese UI, and no booking-cap anxiety — Dolyu delivers all three.
RESERVA
RESERVA is a feature-rich Japanese cloud booking system covering 350+ industries with finely tiered plans. Coverage is broad, but LINE integration is a +¥3,300/month add-on, the UI is Japanese-first, the free plan opens only 43 of 116 features, and detailed analytics and phone support are locked to higher tiers. For built-in LINE, a Chinese UI, and simpler onboarding, Dolyu builds these in — no tiers.
SALON BOARD
SALON BOARD is Recruit's salon booking/CRM system. The tool itself is free, but it can't be used alone — it requires a HOT PEPPER Beauty listing contract. It brings Japan's largest beauty acquisition portal, but your booking page sits price-compared against rivals in the portal, bookings via the portal incur a success fee, and both its rate and the listing fee are undisclosed (inquiry required). For an own-branded booking page, freedom from commission, and keeping regulars on your own LINE, Dolyu is your retention home.
