What sets Dolyu apart
Zero Setup Fee, Transparent Billing — Ready to Use From Day One
SayDou's NT$330/person/month covers all features, but the first year requires a NT$5,000 setup fee (includes one onboarding session); auto-push is NT$499/year (optional); Google or Instagram booking integration is approx. NT$6,000/year each (optional add-ons). Minimum first-year cost for a solo studio: NT$3,960 (monthly fees) + NT$5,000 (setup fee) = approx. NT$8,960. Dolyu is US$15/person/month (approx. NT$480), zero setup fee, approx. NT$5,760 for the first year — same amount every month, no hidden add-ons.
Open and Use — Set Up Services and Start Taking Bookings in 5 Minutes
SayDou has 12+ feature modules and is comprehensive, but the learning curve is steeper — the official onboarding session (included in the NT$5,000 setup fee) is evidence of how much time it takes to get up to speed. Dolyu focuses on core appointment management with a design philosophy of "open and use" — most users have their services set up and are taking bookings in 5 minutes, no manual required.
Reports Focused on Core Metrics — Act at a Glance When You're Busy
SayDou provides AI client segmentation and payroll reports — data-rich and suited to mid-to-large teams with dedicated analysts. Dolyu's four reports (revenue, services, staff, clients) focus on the core decision-making metrics, letting a busy solo operator or small team spot what needs adjusting without having to "learn how to read" the reports.
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 SayDou 神美: Which one is right for you?
SayDou is one of the most feature-complete platforms in Taiwan's beauty industry — NT$330/person/month, unlimited bookings, AI client segmentation — genuinely good value for long-term users. But that NT$5,000 setup fee is a commitment with no way back, and add-on pricing makes the total cost hard to predict. Dolyu is US$15/person/month, zero setup fee — try it for 14 days and let the experience give you the answer, rather than letting the first payment make the decision for you.

Dolyu is US$15/person/month (approx. NT$480), zero setup fee, monthly billing, no contract, 14-day free trial. SayDou requires a NT$5,000 setup fee in the first year plus NT$330/person/month — minimum first-year cost for a solo studio is NT$8,960. Dolyu's first year is approx. NT$5,760, saving NT$3,200 — and you don't have to pay NT$5,000 before you've even tried it.
Dolyu is designed to open and use — set up services and start taking bookings in 5 minutes, no manual or training course needed. SayDou's 12+ modules have a steeper learning curve; the onboarding session included in the setup fee says as much.
Dolyu has four built-in reports — revenue overview, service analysis, staff performance, and client behavior — designed to tell you at a glance which services earn the most and which clients are worth investing in. SayDou also has reporting, but Dolyu's advantage is that the reports focus on actionable metrics and are easy to read without having to learn how to interpret them.
Dolyu is built for 1–2 person studios: live in 5 minutes, flat transparent pricing, all core features included. You don't need to pay NT$5,000 upfront before you know if the system works for you. Start with Dolyu's 14-day free trial and let the experience give you the answer.

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.
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.
BookNow 預約系統
BookNow offers four plans starting at NT$399, tiered by monthly booking volume, including e-vouchers, payroll calculation, and Google Calendar sync. Each plan has a monthly booking cap — the lowest plan allows 1,000 bookings — and you'll need to upgrade if you hit the ceiling in peak season. Dolyu is US$15/person/month (approx. NT$480) with no booking limit and four-dimension reports and branded page all included.
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.
