Tajming vs Zoyya: what does the 'biggest' Croatian booking app really cost?

First, the thing I say in every one of these posts: I am not neutral. I am Marko, Tajming is my product, so read this comparison with that in mind. But precisely because it is mine, I cannot afford to lie. If I stretch anything in my favor, you will check two things on their site and write off both me and Tajming forever.

Zoyya is probably the first name you will run into when you search for a booking app in Croatia. A domestic product, a serious team, plenty of salons. It deserves a fair treatment, not a takedown.

Where Zoyya is genuinely good

Breadth of the system. Zoyya is not just a calendar. On the higher plans you get a fiscal cash register, e‑invoices, card payments, gift vouchers, a loyalty program, a waitlist and group appointments. If you want one tool to run your booking, your billing and your marketing, Zoyya seriously tries to cover all of it.

SMS reminders. Tajming sends reminders by e‑mail. Zoyya can also send SMS, and an SMS reaches even the client who never opens e‑mail. That is a real advantage, with a price we will get to in a minute.

Current plans. The public pricing page lists Business and Advanced plans, plus Enterprise on request. Check trial terms and your chosen billing period before deciding.

Visibility through their app. Zoyya has a consumer app where people browse salons and book. If someone new finds you there, that is an acquisition you did not have to pay for with an ad.

If a fiscal cash register inside the same tool is the most important thing for you, stop reading and go with Zoyya. Tajming does not have one and I will not pretend it does.

Where the math changes

Now the fine print, because the total cost is assembled from several parts. All numbers are from their public price list at the time of writing, so check the current ones before deciding.

Subscription and VAT. Business is €22 + VAT per month, billed annually, for up to 10 staff. Advanced is €40 + VAT per month, billed annually, for up to 20 staff, with a fiscal cash register and additional features.

SMS is a separate cost. The pricing page explicitly says SMS is not included in the subscription. Check the current message price and quantities in your offer rather than budgeting from an old rate.

Payments have separate fees. Card and online payment fees are not included in the subscription. Check current terms for the payment method you will use.

The marketplace works in both directions. The same app that can introduce you to a new client also shows your regulars the other salons around you. Your client relationship runs through their platform and their brand.

What Tajming does differently

Tajming is deliberately smaller and deliberately simpler, with one clear bill.

A flat price, nothing billed per message. Basic is 14 euros per month, Pro is 24 euros per month, with a free 30‑day trial before either. Booking confirmations go out by e‑mail on every plan at no per‑message cost, and on the Pro plan clients automatically get a reminder the day before their appointment, also included. Nobody counts messages.

No marketplace. Your booking page carries your name, your logo and your brand color, and no other salon is shown next to it. The client you spent years earning stays yours.

Clients install nothing. Booking is a plain link: it opens in the browser, four steps, done. No app, no account creation, so even older clients manage without help.

New: phone notifications and worker profiles. Every new booking lands as a notification on your phone, even when the app is closed. If several of you work in the salon, each worker sees their own schedule on their own device and gets only their own alerts. And if you want the final say, turn on approval mode and bookings wait for your yes before they are confirmed.

Your data leaves with you. One click and you have a CSV with all clients, appointments and services. If you ever leave, you leave with everything that is yours.

Support is a real person. Built in Osijek, personal support, in Croatian or English.

The comparison at a glance

Before deciding, everything in one view (Zoyya and Lime Booking prices checked October 8, 2026; other historical details are identified in the text):

So which one should you pick

Pick Zoyya if you need a fiscal register and payments inside the same tool, if SMS reminders are non‑negotiable, or if you run a bigger salon that needs loyalty programs, gift vouchers and group appointments. Those are real advantages and my only counterargument is the price.

Pick Tajming if you run a small salon or barbershop, want clients to book themselves from a link without any app, want reminders without counting sent messages, and prefer one predictable bill over adding up a subscription, SMS charges and percentages. For most small shops I talk to, that is the whole story.

The trial is genuinely free for 30 days, setup takes about five minutes, and if it is not for you, export your data and go, no hard feelings.
