Brand, Data, Retention — What Freetime Lacks, Dolyu Has
Freetime is solid and NT$300/month is affordable — but if you want to build a brand image, make data-driven decisions, and turn clients into repeat customers, basic record-keeping and a personal page won't be enough. Dolyu at US$15/month (about NT$480) adds a branded portfolio page, four-dimension reports, and client CRM. That extra NT$180 buys you the tools to grow your business.
This page compares Dolyu and Freetime on pricing, core features, and fit. Dolyu costs US$15/month flat, integrates deeply with LINE, requires no app download for customers, and supports appointment-based businesses of all kinds with monthly billing and no contract.

What sets Dolyu apart
More Than Record-Keeping — Understand Your Numbers to Make Better Decisions
Freetime provides daily, weekly, and monthly revenue stats and client counts — useful for day-to-day tracking. Dolyu goes further: service analysis shows which treatment earns the most, staff performance helps you distribute bonuses fairly, and client spend reports surface the VIPs worth investing in. Data is there to drive decisions, not just to look at.
Turn One-Time Clients Into Regulars
Freetime's client management centers on basic booking history. Dolyu lets you tag clients, review full spend history, lock in repeat visits with client points, and automatically send a LINE follow-up after each service — turning a first-time visitor into a long-term regular. For high-value services, one retained regular is worth far more than the NT$180/month price difference.
Your Booking Page Is Your Online Business Card — Make It Worth Booking
Freetime has a personal booking page, but customization options are limited. Dolyu lets you upload a portfolio, set your brand colors, and write service descriptions — creating a page that truly represents your professional image. A new client's first look at your booking page is their first impression of you. It's worth getting right.
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 — whether your clients are in Taiwan, Japan, Southeast Asia, or anywhere else, time display and billing currency always match.
Dolyu vs Freetime: Which one is right for you?
If your business is mostly day-to-day scheduling and you don't need to build a brand or use reports to make decisions — Freetime at NT$300/month is one of the best value options out there, no question. But if you do microblading, lash extensions, or high-value consultations and want to attract new clients with your brand, optimize services with data, and turn clients into regulars — Dolyu's branded portfolio page, four-dimension reports, and client CRM are what move a business to its next stage. 14-day trial — feel the difference yourself.

Dolyu adds three key features: a branded booking page with portfolio display, four-dimension revenue reports (revenue / service / staff / client), and a client CRM with tagging and spend history (including client points). If you want to build a brand and retain high-value clients, these are things Freetime's basic record-keeping can't give you.
Freetime is NT$300/person/month, with three billing cycles — monthly (30 days), semi-annual (180 days + 15 free), and annual (365 days + 60 free), so annual billing adds nearly two free months. It works across iOS, Android, and Web, with a 14-day free trial. Dolyu is US$15/person/month (about NT$480); the extra cost maps to a branded booking page, four-dimension reports, and client CRM — choose Freetime for simple record-keeping, Dolyu for brand building and data.
Dolyu is US$15/person/month (about NT$480); Freetime is NT$300/person/month — a difference of roughly NT$180/month. Dolyu's extra cost maps directly to three concrete features: branded page, four-dimension reports, and client CRM. For anyone focused on building their brand and making data-driven decisions, the return is high.
Yes. Dolyu integrates with LINE Official Account and sends automated booking confirmations, pre-appointment reminders, and change notifications — similar to Freetime's LINE notifications. Where Dolyu differs is deeper report analysis, a more complete branded page, and client CRM.
If you care about building your brand, want to make data-driven decisions, or want to turn clients into regulars — choose Dolyu. The branded page, four-dimension reports, and client CRM move your business to the next level. Try the 14-day free trial and experience it for yourself.
Dolyu is designed to open and use — set up your services and upload a portfolio in 5 minutes, no manual required. The 14-day free trial has no contract, so you can run both side by side for a while and switch over once you've confirmed the branded page, reports, and client CRM fit your needs — no need to commit all at once.
Dolyu currently uses client points instead of session passes/class packages. The mechanism is different but can similarly track repeat visits and rewards. If your business relies heavily on tracking session counts, use the 14-day trial to check whether the points system fits your workflow. If your main goal is retaining existing clients, client points achieve the same effect.

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.
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.
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.
